In all my years in the media I can’t recall anything so absurd as the so-called Melon-gate crisis. Supposedly senior journalists in the Canberra Press Gallery are falling over each other to beat up the ante on this drivel. Stuck in the Canberra bubble, they have no idea how ridiculous they look.
Happy birthday, @BarackObama! 65 never looked better. Every day, you make me a better person, and I’m thankful for all the ways you show up for our family and our country. Love you. ❤️
El Niño confirmation: @WMO has confirmed the onset of El Niño, warning it could drive hotter temperatures and more extreme weather worldwide. It’s urgent that countries invest in early warning systems to help communities prepare. #Climate#ElNiño
I held a conference call with Commissioners @magnusbrunner and @dubravkasuica for an update on the situation in Ceuta.
The good news is that the vast majority of those who arrived illegally have returned to Morocco, due to the effective work of Spanish and Moroccan law enforcement. Not a single person reached mainland Spain or the rest of the EU.
This shows why the control of our European borders matters. We have a strong system in place. But it needs to be further strengthened.
We must remain vigilant at every critical entry point and maintain close coordination between all authorities.
At the same time, we need a lessons learned process to improve our European resilience.
The Commission has offered support to Spain from the first moment.
I received letters from several leaders and I welcome the call for an extraordinary videoconference to take stock of what has happened.
Fighting illegal migration requires solidarity and a united European response.
At State of the Nation, Federal Opposition Leader the Hon. Angus Taylor highlighted three areas for the economy to focus on to build a strong economy: getting taxes down including to address bracket creep, deregulation and moving business investment.

If Trump is disavowing NATO and breaking an 80 year tradition — something’s wrong.
If Trump is praising Vladimir Putin, whose entire economy is slightly smaller than the state of Texas — something’s wrong.
If Trump is disavowing the 1994 defense agreement where we told Ukraine to give up their nuclear weapons and we’d protect them — the agreement that got him impeached in his first term — something is wrong.
He blasts and berates every world leader. Won’t say a single negative word about Putin.
Putin owns him. It’s hard to watch as an American but it’s obvious.
Why does he own him? That’ll probably come out someday.
It’s not just Trump.
Right-leaning podcasters taking money from the Russian government to spout their talking points.
Republicans hanging out in Moscow, repeating the same lines.
The question isn’t whether something exists. It’s what.
The Coalition of the Willing. I thank every leader who stands with Ukraine and our people today. Everyone who understands that Russian aggression can be stopped only through collective pressure. And everyone who is ready to affirm this unity not only in words, but also through real decisions and assistance. There is no alternative to peace. And peace must prevail – thanks to our joint support and actions.
Fier de voir les militaires ukrainiens défiler aux côtés de nos forces. Un symbole de fraternité, de courage et de destin partagé. Pensées au peuple ukrainien qui lutte pour sa liberté et, avec elle, pour celle de tous les Européens.
Aujourd’hui sur les Champs-Élysées, nous célébrons la liberté, héritage chéri de la France.
Nous le savons ; il n’y pas de liberté sans défense.
Pas de paix durable sans force de la préserver.
Je remercie la France pour son engagement.
Car l'armée française fait la force de l’Europe.
Et protège la liberté de notre Union tout entière.
