Jodie, Alicia Payne MP and I hosted them for International Womens Day to say thank you for what they do.

Australia is a better place thanks to the incredible women I met this morning, and women like them all around the country.

They work in emergency accommodation, crisis services, legal aid and more, making a difference in the lives of disadvantaged women.

Today Alicia Payne MP met with newly promoted Viet Nam Diplomacy #VietNamForUNHRC Vice Minister Ms Nguyen Minh Hang. Good discussion of emerging 🇻🇳🇦🇺 economic opportunities including: Rare Earth mining & processing, undersea cables and enhanced air links.

Honoured to co-chair OECD-Southeast Asia Ministerial Forum 2023 ( #OECDSEARP ) in 🇻🇳 with Alicia Payne MP Mathias Cormann. The lively & substantive discussions reflect shared interests & desires to explore new momentum for OECD-SEA partnership for quality & sustainable investment.

Very special to meet Australia’s Ambassador to Vietnam Andrew Goledzinowski and the hard working staff at the Australian Embassy in Hanoi this morning.

Australia’s relationship with Vietnam continues to go from strength to strength in no small part to work of our Embassy.

Pleasure to meet Alicia Payne MP at OECDglobal meeting in #Hanoi : we are working together to support regional partners strengthen investment environment for FDI partnerships for energy transition, R&D and innovation. #OECDSEA

Honoured to speak today on behalf of the Australian Government at the opening session of the OECD ➡️ Better Policies for Better Lives Southeast Asia Ministerial Forum which we are co-hosting with Vietnam.

Great morning out in Queanbeyan with Anthony Albanese, colleagues from across the political spectrum, and our army of yes volunteers for one final push before the Referendum!

It was great to hear powerful speeches from Indigenous speakers and the PM on why it’s so important to vote yes!

Unthinkable news coming out of Israel.

Australia rightly condemns these attacks from Hamas and urges restraint and the protection of civilian lives.

What is abundantly clear is that it is again Israeli and Palestinian civilians who will suffer the most from this violence.

When I questioned Qantas about this last month on the Econ Committee they blamed everything from Air Traffic Controllers to the weather.

Well last time I checked Virgin experienced the same weather and used the same air services but their cancellation rates are around 10% lower.

The Canberra Forum is an 'ongoing, deliberative democracy forum made of up to 45 randomly chosen engaged Canberrans'
