How can Australia maximise the choices available to us in the face of the rapid evolution of AI?
Thank you to @limdarrenj for an in depth chat on a complex and consequential policy challenge: how to shape the development of AI in Australia’s interests.

A special visit to the MCG to celebrate Australian-Indonesia connections through sport, language and education. I joined Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono @Menlu_RI, @TimWattsMP, Collingwood’s Darcy Moore and local students to mark the strength of our nations’ close friendship.
I’ve long been a fan of Joe Walker’s podcast, so it was great to sit down with him and have a wide-ranging conversation about compute, AI and what Australia needs to do to be a maker—not just a taker—in the AI economy.

@holland_tom Bangladesh did manage to bat for longer than the entire Perth test in their first innings… hats off to some proper test match team batting
@ShashiTharoor It was well deserved. Good quality test match cricket from the Tigers. Mahmud first class with the ball and disciplined, team batting to press home the advantage in Bangladesh’s first innings. On to Mackay!
Diversity is a strength of modern Australia.
And no matter what language you speak, or faith you practice - every Australian deserves to feel safe, respected and valued.
Great to talk with locals in South East Melbourne today.
We're not crying, you're crying 🥹🇦🇺 Socceroos winger Awer Mabil just dropped the most special message at the World Cup.
After the squad made a viral video about where they come from, the winger - who was born in a Kenyan refugee camp - explains what makes Australia 'the best country in the world': 'Many different backgrounds. One jersey.'
This is what the Socceroos are all about.
In Refugee Week, these are beautiful words from a special footballer and person.
Pauline Hanson complains about kids in poverty, but votes to cut their parents’ pay.
She complains abt medicine costs, but votes to make them cost more.
She complains abt power prices, but wants expensive nuclear power.
Pauline Hanson complains a lot, but would make things worse.

My heartfelt condolences to everyone mourning the passing of Trish Crossin.
As a teacher in remote schools, Trish dedicated herself to bringing new opportunities to the people of the Northern Territory.
She brought that same determination and those same values to the Senate.
As the first woman to represent the NT in Parliament, Trish was a trailblazer. But what drove her was making that trail easier for future generations to follow.
Trish served her community, our party and the parliament with strength, decency and pride.
May she rest in eternal peace.
Attacks on UN peacekeepers are unacceptable. We condemn the killing of three Indonesian personnel serving with the UN in Lebanon. We extend our sincere condolences to their loved ones, colleagues and to Indonesia. We support Indonesia's calls for a thorough investigation.
@IanBatchelor11 Nope. There are plenty of significant Ministerial statements that attract significant attendance from across the house as a show of solidarity. It’s a question of priorities.
There are just two Liberal MPs in the Chamber as Anne Aly delivers a Ministerial Statement on the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

Yesterday was a dark day in our nation's history.
But we are stronger than the cowards who did this.
We refuse to let them divide us.
Australia will never submit to division, violence or hatred - and we will come through this together.
