It was an honour to meet Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, the leader of the Belarusian democratic opposition, during her visit to Australia. Sviatlana remains relentless in her fight for freedom and democracy in Belarus. Жыве Беларусь!

I am deeply grateful to the Australian Government for its support of Ukraine. The stability and security of Australia’s region are being shaped in Europe today.

Australia has a clear national interest in seeing Russia fail in its aggression against Ukraine. I look forward to continuing to work with the Australian Government to advance this shared objective.

Please read my op-ed in the Sydney Morning Herald/The Age:

Does Australia still stand with Ukraine? The reality no longer matches the rhetoric
In the past 12 months, the Australian government has made no new contributions of any kind to Ukraine – military, humanitarian or reconstruction. It’s baffling.

Great to catch up with Hon Bill Shorten, VC of the U of Canberra and a seasoned Labor politician, following his recent visit to Ukraine. Bill previously served as Leader of the Opposition and has held several ministerial roles. Check out my short chat with him.

I have seen the article in The Australian and I am very disappointed that the notes intended for a private meeting of the Joint Standing Committee have been leaked.

I am grateful to the Acting Prime Minister, Hon Richard Marles MP, for receiving me today. I had the opportunity to brief him on the latest developments from the frontlines, as well as Ukraine’s current military, humanitarian, energy, and economic needs.

I trust the Aus Gov’s ability to find a way to stop importing petrol and diesel derived from Russian oil. I also hope that BP, Viva, and other importers of Russian oil products take their ESG commitments seriously — something they seem to be disregarding entirely.

Russian attacks on Kyiv have sadly become routine — no longer even making international headlines. Last night, RU launched over 100 drones and 9 ballistic missiles at my home city. The skies were filled with smoke, lives were lost, and many were injured. This relentless campaign of terror must stop.
