A funding pledge is an important start. But Pacific communities need funding they can count on. 💙 @AlboMP and @chrisluxonmp, #CHOGM2026 is a chance to confirm progress on PRF commitments and announce additional support where possible.

Polio cases have fallen by more than 99% since 1988. That's incredible progress, but we're not at zero yet.

This #WorldPolioDay, @SenatorWong and Dr Anne Aly MP @dfat can help sustain Australia's commitment to ending polio. #EndPolio

Norway hasn’t just supported education in emergencies — it has helped rally others behind it. Thank you for helping lead the way. @AsmundAukrust, carry that legacy forward with Education Cannot Wait for children affected by crisis.

The biggest challenges don’t stop at borders — and no country can solve them alone. @MichealMartinTD @nealerichmond, keep showing how Ireland can turn cooperation into progress at UNGA and Global Citizen Festival. 🇮🇪🌍

Global hunger has fallen for three years running. That’s progress worth celebrating. But 2.69 billion people still can’t afford a healthy diet. Here’s why we can’t stop pushing for stronger, more resilient food systems. https://t.co/sLUB7n2uLE #globalcitizen

Thank you, Ireland, for continuing to stand up for education around the world. 🇮🇪 @MichealMartinTD, we’re counting on you to take the next step at the Global Citizen Festival this September with new commitments to Education Cannot Wait for kids in crisis.

Healthy children need strong health systems. I just learned what can happen behind the scenes before a child receives a vaccine. Take the @GlblCtzn journey 👇

One idea introduced in #Japan in 1948 has grown into Maternal and Child Health Handbooks used by millions of families. Discover how Japan’s global health story goes even further: #JapanForGlobalHealth https://t.co/8mljCHHZoF

Two million children could keep learning if leaders act. @sanchezcastejon @MichealMartinTD @Statsmin @jonasgahrstore, please turn your support into new funding for Education Cannot Wait this September. #GlobalCitizen

I have spent the end of this week conducting an arbitration in Harare which took me to the north of Harare again - Highlands, Borrowdale etc.

It was a stark reminder that Zimbabwe has become a tale of two economies. The first economy is that of Harare north where all the major roads (not just the arterial roads but the cross roads as well) are in tip top condition and the profusion of mind boggling mansions and Rolls Royce motor vehicles is staggering. It is the economy of Toyota Landcruisers being gifted with tens of thousands of US$ cash “spending money”. It is the economy of musicians being paid a million dollars to sing at a birthday party. It is the economy of young connected women in their 20s owning properties worth millions of dollars from unexplained sources of wealth. It is the economy of connected people being paid millions of dollars of taxpayers money for contracts which remain unfulfilled.

Then there is the other economy. It is the economy of hundreds of thousands of children out of school. It is the economy of government schools literally collapsing before our very eyes. It is the economy of hospitals without basic medications. It is the economy of 97 poor Zimbabweans dying on a ferry which needed repairs costing the equivalent of one Toyota Fortuna to become seaworthy. It is the economy of those 97 families being paid $100 each as compensation for their irreparable loss. It is the economy of major roads collapsing totally , allegedly being rehabilitated by the very same people who are building mansions in Harare north and driving on their pristine roads in Rolls Royces.

Something is very seriously wrong with our body politic.

This September, governments have an opportunity to step up for 1.5 million smallholder farmers. 🌍 I’m calling for ambitious investment — will you add your voice too? https://t.co/V4OS4glJWs #GlobalCitizen

Climate resilience needs more than plans — it needs finance. @AlboMP @Josh4Freo, please help mobilise the $1.5B needed by increasing Australia's support for the Pacific Resilience Facility and rallying other governments to commit at @GlblCtzn.
