On October 7 we pause to remember the horror of Hamas’ terror attack. We mourn for the innocent lives taken and our thoughts are with the hostages still being held. We stand resolutely against antisemitism and all forms of prejudice.

Australia supports this important dimension of #FoRB advocacy through our leadership with Norway @OyLyng of the International Religious Freedom or Belief Alliance’s Gender Working Group ⬇️⬇️⬇️

It is essential to include a gender perspective in #FORB advocacy. No one should have to choose between their freedom as a woman & their faith just as religious freedom should never be used as an argument to suppress women’s equality.

Australia is ready to welcome His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew this week. His visit means so much to Greek Australians and will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the contributions of their communities to our nation. PM Albanese's media release:

We condemn Iran's dangerous escalation. We repeat our call for urgent diplomatic solutions in the Middle East and immediate ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza. This destructive cycle of violence must end.

We have worked closely over the years with @LayCentre particularly on the topic of women in leadership; it was a pleasure to host the founder Dr Donna Orsuto and new Director Dr Filipe Domingues, with my Brazilian colleague Ambassador Everton Vieira Vargas.

At #UNGA79 , together with 🇯🇴, 🇨🇭, 🇮🇩, 🇸🇱, 🇬🇧, 🇯🇵, 🇧🇷 and 🇨🇴, Australia has launched a ministerial group for the protection of humanitarian personnel. 2023 was the deadliest year on record for humanitarian personnel and 2024 is on track to be even worse. @iamCARITAS @VaticanIHD

Today marks the anniversary of the @UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, a landmark commitment to the protection of Indigenous rights around the world. I presented Holy See Undersecretary Pacho with a book highlighting the rich culture of our First Nations peoples.
