Pleasure to speak with students & chaperones from Canberra Grammar School for their Global Democracy Forum last week. We discussed the importance of a healthy democracy & how students can make a positive impact. Well done to Sen @PerinDavey for hosting the gathering! #auspol

🦞Resumption of 🇦🇺 live rock lobster by the end of the year is the next important step in stabilising bilateral relations with China. In my interview on @abcnews Afternoon Briefing, I highlighted how Federal Labor's calm diplomacy will save 3,000 jobs in the industry.🦞 #auspol

Social cohesion in Australia has been built over generations and must be preserved. In my chat with @abcnews Afternoon Briefing, I explained why it's crucial for all community leaders to not use the events of overseas to inflame further tensions here. #auspol

As the new Chair of the Parl Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security, I look forward to advancing the Committee's legislated responsibilities to meet future challenges in the bipartisan way. I discussed the PJCIS's parliamentary oversight role during my spot on 2CC. #auspol

🥚I'm really egg-cited about this one (pardon the pun)! Today is #WorldEggDay & I took a moment to recognise our egg-ceptional 🇦🇺 egg farmers, who produce 18.9 million eggs daily.🐣 We consume over 260 eggs annually, which equates to 15kg of eggs per person per year!🍳 #auspol

Caught up with @PeterKhalilMP , who has stood down as PJCIS Chair, to focus on his role as Special Envoy for Social Cohesion. His experience in international affairs will be invaluable. Thanks to my colleagues for the confidence they've shown in me in my election as Chair #auspol

Federal Labor is supporting farmers in Wannon & Vic experiencing ongoing dry conditions. Farmers can use deposit holdings & contact counselling services. Programs are always available because dry conditions don't hit everyone at the same time. 👉 #auspol
