We are living in a world of transition where a shifting of power dynamics is taking place, which means our friendship and partnership with countries like Fiji, in our own backyard, is even more important.

I'm accountable to the Australian people and Australia comes here with a very strong record.

Our commitment here is significant — not only to the protection of the environment, but the way of life for the Pacific peoples.

If you're going to step up, you've got to show up, and Australia's going to show up, we are going to show for the hard conversations, the good conversations and the family conversations.

Australia meets its commitments, and we will always meet our commitments, and that is a point that I'll be making again when I meet with Pacific leaders.

The Pacific is our home, which we share as a family of nations. We're here to work with our Pacific partners to confront the potential challenges they face in the years ahead.

It's not been asked to us, not being considered, not been put to us. I think I the rule a line under that.

Im pleased to announce that Mr. Alek Sigley has been today released from detention in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea.

This outcome demonstrates the value of discrete behind-the-scenes work of officials in resolving complex and sensitive consular cases in close partnership with other governments.

Bob, your record is honored, your legacy is secure and your country will be forever grateful.

If there are issues regarding particular laws, they will be raised in the normal way that they should be in a democracy, and they are matters I am always open to discuss.

It may have been a surprise to others but it certainly wasn't a surprise to the government, australian naval vessels have visited China. This was a program of a reciprocal visit. That is a further demonstration of the relationship that we have.

I will look forward to working with the new prime minister of PNG in the same way I have enjoyed such a strong friendship and relationship with Peter O'Neill.

They've had their say, they've made their decision. Now they expect us to get on with it so they can get on with their lives, that's what the quiet Australians have said and I'm going to honor that.

I don't take anyone's support in this country for granted. by Scott Morrison

I don't take anyone's support in this country for granted.

He was a great Australian. And he was a much-loved Australian. It is a life to be celebrated. And I'll certainly be doing that today, later this afternoon, and raising a glass in his honor.

Bob Hawke was a great Australian who led and served our country with passion, courage, and an intellectual horsepower that made our country stronger.

I will burn for you every day, every single day, so you can achieve your ambitions, your aspirations, your desires. That is what's at the top of my agenda.

I do think it's, from one perspective, good that they're doing this outreach to one segment of the population, it's probably unreasonable to say that they shouldn't use these platforms altogether.
