Australia Day is back! A wonderful morning celebrating in Corowa.
Welcoming our newest Australians and recognising those who give so generously back to our local community is a powerful reminder of the very best of Australia and the Australian spirit.
We look out for one another and we stand up for what is right. Australians have fought for freedom and a fair go since the very beginning of our nation.
We are a great country, the very best in the world, and that is why we celebrate. 🇦🇺

Australia is the best country in the world.
I am grateful every day to call this nation home, and proud of the people who make it what it is.
Happy Australia Day. 🇦🇺

Congratulations to Katherine Bennell-Pegg on being named 2026 Australian of the Year.
Her remarkable journey from curious student to trailblazing astronaut and space engineer shows exactly what Australian ambition and determination can achieve. Katherine has broken barriers in science and technology, inspired young Australians to take up STEM, and shown the world what we can contribute to exploration, innovation and discovery.
We also celebrate Professor Henry Brodaty as Senior Australian of the Year, Nedd Brockmann as Young Australian of the Year, and Frank Mitchell as Local Hero for their extraordinary service to our country and communities.
Australia thrives on people who push boundaries and lift others up. Katherine and her fellow awardees embody that spirit. Congratulations to all. 🇦🇺

The Liberal Party made a commitment to the victims’ families of the Bondi terrorist attack that we would deliver for them in the Parliament, and we delivered on that commitment.
We will continue our focus on lower taxes, more affordable energy, bringing the budget back under control and keeping Australians safe.

In October 2023, the worst of Australia tried to turn the Sydney Opera House into a backdrop for hate.
Tonight, on this National Day of Mourning for the victims of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack, we take it back. Not just for Jewish Australians, but for all Australians.
Jan 22
Today is a National Day of Mourning, 39 days on from the Bondi attack, to honour the 15 lives lost and to stand with the families, survivors and first responders whose lives were forever changed.
It acknowledges the depth of grief felt by the Jewish community and by the nation as a whole.
The National Day of Mourning recognises both the profound loss we suffered and the extraordinary humanity shown in the face of darkness.

The Hon. Dame Marie Bashir was a trailblazing Australian, a long-serving Governor of NSW, and a proud Narrenderan. She leaves behind a great legacy her family should be proud of – one of compassion, leadership, and deep respect for community and country.
On behalf of the Liberal Party, I extend my deepfelt condolence to all who mourn her passing. Vale.

Labor produced a clumsy and deeply flawed package of legislation that collapsed under scrutiny, divided the parliament, and risked encroaching on fundamental freedoms.
As a result of Liberal Party action, the legislation has been narrowed, strengthened and properly focused on keeping Australians safe.

When Australians demanded action, the Prime Minister delivered a clumsy and deeply flawed piece of legislation.
The Liberal Party is stepping up to do the hard work he would not, fixing the failures and putting the focus where it belongs on keeping Australians safe from antisemitism and violent Islamist extremism.
Jan 20
Today the Liberal Party vetoed Labor’s attempt to criminalise free speech and brought in greater powers to deport Islamist extremists.
We succeeded in narrowing the scope of Labor’s broken bill to deal with what it should’ve done from the start – tackling antisemitism and radical Islamist extremism.
The Liberal Party will always act to keep Australians safe, defend freedoms and put the national interest first.

Labor can’t manage money. That’s why they always come after yours. 💸

Labor’s economic mismanagement is world class.

Thank you to the members of our Jewish community, and to the families affected by the Bondi terrorist attack, who met with me at Parliament today.
On a day when the House paused to hear condolence speeches and honour those who were lost, it was important to listen quietly and respectfully to those still living with the consequences of that violence. I was also heartened to see the continued recovery of a victim I visited in hospital in the days after the attack.
As I said in Parliament this morning, Australians deserve strong, serious leadership in confronting antisemitism. This week, I will continue working for the protections needed to keep Australians safe from violent Islamist extremism and antisemitic acts.
Jan 19
We cannot defeat evil if we are afraid to name it.
That is my message to Parliament as we work to protect Australians from vile antisemitism and the threat of radical Islamist extremism.
Hate does not defeat itself. Extremism does not fade on its own.
Enough is enough.
