Today we pause to remember the six million Jewish men, women and children who were murdered in the Holocaust, and all those persecuted by the Nazi regime. It is also a time to reflect on the shared responsibility we all have to confront hatred, antisemitism, and apathy wherever they appear - and renew our commitment to say: never again.
Congratulations to the outstanding members of the Farrer community who are receiving honours in the 2026 Australia Day Honours List.
Mr Maxwell Luff of Albury, Medal of the Order of Australia for service to the road transport industry and to the community.
Mr Owen Saleeba of Albury, Medal of the Order of Australia for service to vocational and tertiary education and to the community.
Chief Inspector Scott Russell of Thurgoona, Australian Police Medal for distinguished service.
Thank you for all you do for our community and nation. You should all be very proud of your achievements. Congratulations and well done.
Australia Day is a chance to celebrate what unites us: freedom, opportunity, and mateship.
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.
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.
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’s economic mismanagement is world class.
