The PBS is not up for negotiation. And it never will be. Because Labor created it - and we’ll always defend it. #auspol
Warmest wishes to President Maamau and the people of Kiribati on their National Day. Australia and Kiribati share an ocean, a future, and an enduring friendship through our Tobwaan Te Reitaki partnership. May today and every day be filled with health, peace and prosperity.
