Minister Conroy speaking on development. Interesting speech, while adding some extra funds last year, nothing extra promised, says that Australia is putting the Pacific first. He also stated that development is shaped not by prosperity and strategic but also shaped by ethics.

I am deeply honoured to serve as Australia’s Prime Minister. As Prime Minister, I want to bring people together and lead a government that is as courageous, hard-working and caring as the Australian people. That work starts today.

SA Victory is a good result for the ALP with a win and a good result but not much of a change as SA has always been a forward thinking state. We need changes in NSW and a forward thinking QLD govt to make proper changes for Australia. Bring the Federal vote!

Difficult this evening for those in Tonga. We can here the volcano booms in Suva. Have seen a few videos of the impact of the tsunami. Hope the impacts are minor but worried about tomorrow and the reports.

Sandra Tarrte is an amazing scholar at the University of the South Pacific. In this new paper from @GAIGriffith, she considers competing security narratives in the Pacific - exploring points of convergence and divergence among key players. #BluePacific

#Climatechange is a huge risk to economic and financial stability. That is why the IMF is now putting the transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy at the heart of our work. How? More in my speech at Climate #AdaptationSummit: imf.org/en/News/Articl…
