Today marks 12 years since the downing of Flight MH17.

298 passengers lost their lives, including 38 people who called Australia home.

Our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones.

Australia remains committed to holding Russia accountable for this horrific act.

$8.2 Million💊

That’s how much Greenway residents have saved on cheaper medicines since we came to government.

BREAKING: Labor is backing another pay rise for 2.7M minimum wage and award workers.

2,631.

That's how many Greenway residents have been able to buy their first home thanks to Labor's 5% deposits 🏡

ICYMI: From today, you can now buy your first home with just a 5% deposit!

Russia’s refusal to accept responsibility for the downing of MH17 is deplorable.

Australia will strongly resist any attempts to impugn the decision of the ICAO Council. @SenatorWong

We continue to stand with the 298 victims, including 38 Australians, and their families in the pursuit of truth, justice, and accountability.

We again call on Russia to face up to its responsibility and make reparations, as required under international law. @SenatorWong

Around the world, free and independent media is under attack from politicians afraid of scrutiny.

The last thing Australia needs is for Peter Dutton to import those dangerous ideas here.

Thank you, @billshortenmp.

Devastating news from Bondi Junction this afternoon. My thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims, and with our incredibly brave first responders tonight.

The recent decision by Meta to no longer pay news organisations for news content that features on its platforms is deeply disappointing.

Details from @MRowlandMP and I in the @canberratimes about the Albanese Government's commitment to back Australian journalism.

This decision removes a significant source of revenue for Australian news media businesses.

Australian news publishers deserve fair compensation for the content they provide.

Seriously harmful misinformation and disinformation online sows division and harms all liberal democracies.

Thank you @The_IIC for hosting an important roundtable to discuss the Australian and European experiences and share our insights on this important international issue 🇦🇺🇧🇪

The first priority of government is to keep its citizens safe - including online.

A privilege to meet with Executive Vice President Vestager, Vice President Jourová, and Commissioner Johansson today. (1/2)

We discussed how Australia and the EU can address new and emerging online harms and coordinate approaches to strengthen our great democracies. 🇦🇺🇪🇺 (2/2)
