Terribly sad news today, the passing of Teena McQueen a stalwart of Australian conservative politics. A straight shooter, force of nature and someone that earned respect. If there was job teaching swear words to sailors she’d be first picked. Vale and condolences to her family.

Yesterday, we were privileged to partner with the Australian think tank Institute for Economics & Peace @economicspeace for the launch of the Global Peace Index 2026 @GlobPeaceIndex which was presented at the 🇦🇺 Residence, and in a Holy See setting for the very first time. (1/2)

It was a pleasure to host the delegates of the International Symposium on Inclusive Governance in a Synodal Church, which is taking place at the @ACUmedia Rome Campus this week. We had some highly insightful conversations on the work of building a more participative Church.

Today marks exactly one year since I presented credentials to Pope Leo XIV. It's been a busy twelve months. I look forward to another year with many initiatives to strengthen the ties between Australia and the Holy See.

At a ceremony today, @SrNatB was conferred an Honorary Degree from @ACUmedia. Chancellor Martin Daubney AM KC KSG praised Sr Natalie’s trajectory as “one of the most consequential ecclesial leaders of her generation” and emphasised her “enduring relationship with Australia”

We are also grateful to the Australian Ambassador to the Holy See, Keith Pitt (@AusAmbHolySee), and to so many dear friends who made this gathering such a special moment 🙏

I was privileged to witness a truly historic moment today as Pope Leo XIV published his first encyclical Magnifica Humanitas on safeguarding the human person in the time of AI. We will be talking about this moment for a very long time. #MagnificaHumanitas #enciclica

Thank you @VaticanNews for sharing the story of the emotive pilgrimage by three members of the Childers (QLD) Catholic Parish. They’ll be taking home great memories… as well as the Pope’s own skullcap!

Every 25 April, we pay tribute to the Australians and New Zealanders who lost their lives in conflict, and those who continue to serve. Alongside @AusAmbRome and @nzinrome, I attended a moving #ANZAC dawn service at the Rome War Cemetery. #LestWeForget

Pleased to join @AndriiYurash and @Kwiatkowski_A for the opening of the photographic exhibition “The Eyes of War” at the Basilica of Saint Paul outside the Walls. A striking and emotive account of the past four years of Russia’s illegal aggression #AustraliaStandsWithUkraine

[Keith Pitt @AusAmbHolySee]

Today we were sad to say goodbye to @colmflynnire and @PaolaArriazaA who are moving out of Rome to join the @EWTN team in Washington DC. Good luck in your new adventure - will miss your inexhaustible good humour!

The Australian Embassy to the Holy See congratulates Anthony Randazzo, outgoing Bishop of Broken Bay, on his appointment as Prefect of the Dicastery for Legislative Texts - and his elevation to Archbishop - by His Holiness Pope Leo XIV.

Sad to hear of Richo’s passing. Colourful, politically astute, and surprisingly veracious at the table. I’ll miss his contribution to public life and our random catch ups. Vale Richo and deepest condolences to your family.

Today we welcomed Grace Forrest and Franca Pellegrini of @WalkFree / Global Freedom Network to discuss our shared commitment to combat modern slavery, including by engaging with faith leaders. We were also joined by subject experts Dr Alessandra Morelli and Jean-Rene Bilongo.

Best of luck to Go-Jo, the Australian entry to Eurovision 2025, at the semifinal tonight. My team and I had so much fun meeting “the Milkshake man” in Rome a few weeks ago. Do us proud, Go-Jo! 🇦🇺#Eurovision2025
