More than 7 million Australians are living with arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions.

This morning we opened the Institute for research with Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the University of Sydney.

And we announced funding through the Medical Research Future Fund with Arthritis Australia.

I have seen first hand the impact arthritis can have and know these research funds will help to improve the quality of life for Australians in the future.

ASEAN intends to undergo a strategic pivot to become a high-value manufacturing hub for critical minerals. Financial constraints and external dependencies, however, may make this challenging.

Anzac Day Statement by @SecRubio:

On behalf of the United States of America, I am honored to join the people of Australia and New Zealand in commemorating Anzac Day on April 25.

As we mark the 111th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, we pay tribute to the Anzac forces who answered the call of duty. The valor demonstrated at Gallipoli has been an inspiration for generations and exemplifies the courage and selflessness of those who served and continue to serve.

As we reflect on this solemn day, we honor the memory of the fallen, express gratitude for all who have served, and reaffirm our shared commitment to the values and partnerships that unite us.

[ASEAN @ASEAN]

CCP's Crime of Forced Organ Harvesting Is No Longer Taboo

Two new books and recent legislation, supported by both parties, have emerged, and the issue is no longer taboo, according to long-time researchers.

A panel in Washington, D.C. exposed the Chinese Communist Party's crime of forced organ harvesting: a state-sponsored organ transplant industry profiting from the lives of over a million prisoners of conscience.

When Robert Moffit learned about the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) forced organ harvesting industry through the recently published book "Killed to Order," he was reminded of the horrors of human experimentation in the Third Reich that came to light during the Nuremberg Trials.

"Well, very frankly, like most human beings on this planet, I never thought that anything like this would be surfaced again." Moffit, senior research fellow of health and welfare policy at the Heritage Foundation and a former Reagan administration official, told The Epoch Times.

"Millions of Americans know nothing about this," he said. "It's a real horror story and it's got to be brought to light. That's the only way that we're going to get some change."

Australia and Timor-Leste are taking our old friendship to a new level 🇦🇺🇹🇱

Today, Prime Minister Gusmão and I agreed to elevate our partnership.

With new economic and security cooperation that will create jobs, and help our countries meet new challenges we face.

Because we’re stronger when we act together.

[Former Ambassador Kevin Rudd AC @AmboRudd]

Ahmed, you are one of our great Australians.

Your actions at Bondi showed true courage in the face of terror, saved countless lives, and inspired so many across Australia, and here in the United States.

Hearing your story in person, I am struck by your grace and compassion. You represent the very best of Australia.

[ASEAN @ASEAN]

In a historic occasion for the region, the Signing of the Declaration on the Admission of Timor-Leste into ASEAN took place at the Opening Ceremony of the 47th ASEAN Summits and Related Summits, held on 26 October 2025. The Declaration was signed by ASEAN Leaders together with the Prime Minister of Timor-Leste, marking the ASEAN Leaders’ consent to accept Timor-Leste as the 11th Member State of ASEAN. This achievement is the result of years of close cooperation between ASEAN and Timor-Leste.

Timor-Leste officially applied for ASEAN membership in 2011. In 2022, ASEAN Leaders agreed in principle to admit Timor-Leste as a Member State, granting it Observer Status in ASEAN meetings. This was followed by the adoption of the Roadmap for Timor-Leste’s Full Membership in 2023, which guided its preparations to meet ASEAN’s membership criteria, including accession to ASEAN legal instruments and participation in meetings across all three ASEAN Community pillars. Today’s ceremony represents the culmination of this dedicated journey and ASEAN’s collective support in welcoming Timor-Leste into the ASEAN family.

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

For decades, Australia’s alliance with the United States has supported security and prosperity.

Our partnership is strong. And I’m here in Washington D.C. with President Trump building on it for the future.

Today we’ve announced we’ll make more things together - using Australia’s critical minerals to power American technology.

A huge investment by both our countries in Australia. And an exciting new chapter in our shared history. 🇦🇺🇺🇸

It is always an honour to join the Dawn Service at SA’s War Memorial.

ANZAC Day is an opportunity to remember all those who have served our nation in war, conflict and peacekeeping.

This year marks 25 years since the Australian-led peacekeeping deployment to East Timor.
