We remember the 21 people, including 14 Australians, who tragically lost their lives in a canyoning accident in the Saxetenbach Gorge, Wilderswil on 27 July 1999. A heartfelt thanks to the people of Wilderswil for their care of the memorial site.

Australia condemns Iran's strikes on US bases in Qatar and Iraq. We do not want to see further escalation. A full-scale war in the Middle East would be devastating for the people of the region and the world. Australia continues to call for de-escalation, dialogue and diplomacy.

In an Australian-first, the Government has imposed sanctions on Russia’s shadow fleet to help starve its war machine of oil revenue. Russia must end its illegal war. Australia stands with Ukraine. Read more here: foreignminister.gov.au/minister/penny…
