#LIVE: Statement to Parliament on the coronavirus crisis.

Today I was asked what my message is to the children of Australia who are scared about coronavirus and the weeks and months ahead. Basically, it’s that we’ll be okay, but we need to look after each other and keep following the guidelines that have been put in place for our protection. We will get through it.

#LIVE: Update following today's National Cabinet meeting.

A warm discussion by phone today with my good friend Prime Minister Narendra Modi on our responses to the coronavirus crisis. We shared our experiences on managing the crisis and will continue to share knowledge on treatment for the virus and as we work towards a vaccine. We agreed to schedule a virtual summit very soon, given we won’t be able to meet in person. We also discussed the important role being played by the Australian Indian community, particularly in supporting the vulnerable in our community and rallying around those in need.
