Washington decked out with 🇦🇺 flags to celebrate @AlboMP’s state visit to 🇺🇸. Great ceremonial occasion on South Lawn of the White House. Followed by bilateral meeting with @POTUS in Oval Office and then with his cabinet on critical minerals, clean energy and national security.
My thoughts and prayers are with the journalists killed and injured today while doing their job in Lebanon, including our two wounded AFP reporters. Grim times. https://t.co/XICBTGVp8i
An Emmy nomination for @Delikado for Outstanding Investigative Documentary!!!
I am overflowing with gratitude for the commitment, passion, talent + sacrifice of everyone who has helped to make Delikado. Thank you @POVdocs , @PBS@ITVSIndies for getting us onto US screens
My last White House briefing after five years. Hard to believe (they also literally just installed comfy new seats in here). Thankful to my amazing colleagues whom I’ve learned so much from. Also thank you @PressSec for graciously (as ever) giving me a farewell shoutout.
