A historic, moving speech by Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape.
PM Marape is the first Pacific leader to speak to our Parliament, just as @AlboMP was the first Australian Prime Minister to address the PNG Parliament.
It says a lot about who we are to each other.
Australia congratulates Judge Hilary Charlesworth on her re-election to the @CIJ_ICJ.
Judge Charlesworth became the first Australian woman elected to the ICJ in 2021.
I thank all who supported her re-election, including @MarkDreyfusKCMP. We congratulate all the elected judges.
Today I voted Yes.
Yes to recognising 65,000 years of continuous living culture of First Nations people.
Yes to a Voice to Parliament, which will provide good outcomes not just for us, but for generations to come.
Yes to a kinder, more generous, more empathetic Australia.
Early voting centres are open in SA!
Every Australian has a once-in-a-generation chance to bring our country together and change it for the better, by voting Yes.

#VoteYes because Farnsy's had way more hits than me - owned the National Tennis Centre/Flinders Park/Melbourne Park in the 80s and 90s - so he knows what he's talking about!
Australians from all walks of life and all sides of politics are backing the Voice.
Fantastic to join @yes23au’s Dean Parkin, @PatrickGormanMP & @HonJulieBishop in Perth to speak to Australians about the referendum.
The Voice is about recognition, listening and better results.
Thank you for the kind words about tonight’s Four Corners episode. Credit should go to @Milliganreports for putting together such a thoughtful piece. I could only do something like this with the support of my family, friends and teammates - which I’ve always been lucky to have.
