Immensely privileged to welcome the 28th Prime Minister of Australia, the Hon Tony Abbott, to Rome this weekend.

Caritas Australia CEO Kirsten Sayers met with the Australian Ambassador to the Holy See Keith Pitt in Rome to discuss Australia’s leadership in protecting aid workers. With 377 humanitarian workers killed in 2024, urgent action is needed. caritas.org.au/news/media-rel…

It’s always a great pleasure to catch up with the community of religious and lay Australians at the Holy See and share a refreshment during this hot Roman summer.

Today we welcomed Grace Forrest and Franca Pellegrini of @WalkFree / Global Freedom Network to discuss our shared commitment to combat modern slavery, including by engaging with faith leaders. We were also joined by subject experts Dr Alessandra Morelli and Jean-Rene Bilongo.

The last time an Australian Prime Minister had a Papal Audience was almost 16 years ago. Today's Audience between His Holiness Pope Leo XIV and Prime Minister Albanese is an important moment in Australia's history and our enduring relationship with the Holy See.

Honoured to attend the inaugural Mass and meet His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, who is in the prayers of Australia’s five million Catholics today.
