Office of Kevin Rudd, 26th PM of Australia

Thanks to @mcgregorrichard - a deep thinker on the CCP’s evolution over at @LowyInstitute - for his generous review of 'On Xi Jinping' in the @AusForeign Affairs journal. *** I admit coming to this book as a sceptic, although not because of the author. Kevin Rudd is a unique…

2 million Americans and 130,000 Aussies live with type one diabetes, including fellow Queenslander Alyssa. This week, she’ll join advocates from the US and across the world to share their experiences with lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Great to see a young Australian helping lead…

The Australian Government stands with the Jewish community and is stepping up the fight against hate crimes. There is no place for antisemitism in Australia. These cowardly acts of violence must stop.

The US-Australia alliance is built on a century of shared history, values, and military action @AspenInstitute

On the eve of the Washington Open, we opened our Embassy court for a competition of our own. US and Aussie pro players duelled it out with guests from the US business community and the Australian Women in DC Forum. Great evening of tennis was had by all.

Mission: Possible. US Army paratroopers leapt into the night sky over Townsville as part of high-risk airborne deployments during Exercise Talisman Sabre - our biggest joint training exercise ever.

The sight and sound of boots on the ground. Our largest ever bilateral military training exercise between the US and Australia is in full swing. Talisman Sabre is shared combat readiness in action.

The launch was part of Exercise Talisman Sabre — 40,000 troops training together to strengthen our shared capabilities in the Indo-Pacific.

Lift off. Australia has fired our first Himars rocket on home turf as part of the largest Australia-US military training exercise ever. More to come.

Thanks for your visit down under, Congressman. Australia remains a steadfast friend, partner and ally of the United States and I look forward to strengthening our partnership together.

Innovation is booming across America, and Australia is here to help. We’re investing in local industries, partnering on advanced tech, and building the jobs of the future, together.

Alyssa is in DC to fight for type one diabetes research. Great to see a young Aussie standing up for change on the global stage!

AUKUS is a game-changer. Together with the US and UK, we’re boosting Indo-Pacific security and strengthening our alliance for the long haul @aspenideas

This is the Australia-US Alliance in action. Trusted partners. Real capability. Shared security.

Australian shipbuilding for the US is as strong as steel. Austal USA’s first-ever steel ship for the US Navy is now in the water, with more on the way as they look to expand their Alabama shipyard.

One final stop on @SenatorWong’s visit to DC. The World War II Memorial is a powerful reminder of the depth of the US-Australia alliance. A relationship forged at the Battle of Hamel in 1918, strengthened through shared sacrifice in the an Coral Sea and in New Guinea, and…

Griffith grads are making a difference across the United States. Happy 50th birthday @Griffith_Uni 🎂

Today is the Mighty Fourth. When Americans declared not only their independence, but that all Americans were possessed of inalienable rights that can never be extinguished. One of the great founders’ documents for the entire democratic world. From your longstanding Australian…

The United States is Australia’s closest ally and principal strategic partner. We’re deepening ties through AUKUS, critical minerals, and major Australian investment across America.
