Devastating news from Bondi Junction this afternoon. My thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims, and with our incredibly brave first responders tonight.

The recent decision by Meta to no longer pay news organisations for news content that features on its platforms is deeply disappointing.

Details from Michelle Rowland and I in the Canberra Times about the Albanese Government's commitment to back Australian journalism.

This decision removes a significant source of revenue for Australian news media businesses.

Australian news publishers deserve fair compensation for the content they provide.

Seriously harmful misinformation and disinformation online sows division and harms all liberal democracies.

Thank you The International Institute of Communications for hosting an important roundtable to discuss the Australian and European experiences and share our insights on this important international issue 🇦🇺🇧🇪

Public interest broadcasting is central to robust liberal democracies like Australia and the United Kingdom.

A pleasure to visit the BBC to learn more about its important work presenting accurate and trusted information to the UK and the world.

Today I signed an agreement with 🇦🇺Minister for Communications @mrowlandmp to deepen our collaboration on online safety, so we can work together to make the online world a safer place, particularly for our kids

Wishing my friend Louise Pratt all the best for her next chapter.
 
Louise is a sharp, loyal and passionate Senator who has always demonstrated an unwavering commitment to her community in Western Australia.
 
Thank you for all that you have achieved, you will be missed.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Harold Mitchell.

Harold was a pioneering, influential and visionary figure who changed the Australian advertising landscape, and indeed the country through his vision, leadership and philanthropy. 

My thoughts are with his family. Vale.

Happy 40th birthday, Medicare.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Michael Egan.

A true Labor man, Michael worked tirelessly with Bob Carr for close to a decade to build a more prosperous NSW.

My thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

Vale Michael Egan.

Yesterday I announced that an additional 400,000 families and small businesses are now eligible for full-fibre NBN upgrades ✅

This is all part of the Albanese Government’s plan to modernise the NBN and provide the best network for Australians.

BREAKING

The first part of our Closing the Loopholes bill will pass the Parliament.

We’ve brought together people so we can:

✔️ Make wage theft a crime.

✔️ Criminalise industrial manslaughter.

✔️ Make same job, same pay the law of the land.
