In Australia, diversity is our strength. And it always has been.
That's why our multicultural nation sings these lines in our national anthem:
"For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair."

- No matter what language you speak, or faith you practice - every Australian deserves to feel safe, respected and valued. We'll keep standing with you.
- Scott Morrison @ScoMo30 and I didn’t always see eye to eye, and often we were on the opposite side of big debates. But I will always respect the men and women who have served Australia as Prime Minister – it is our nation’s most challenging, but also rewarding leadership role.I’m also very pleased that Ballarat’s Botanical Gardens is home to the busts of every former Australian Prime Minister. So congratulations Mr Morrison, and welcome to Ballarat. It was wonderful to see you, Jenny and the girls.And to sculptor Martin Moore, thank you for your wonderful work, ensuring history continues on Prime Ministers Avenue.
- We're focused on you, but they're focused on each other.
- Unimaginable horror at Bondi Beach today. This isn't something any of us ever thought we'd see in our country. To all those affected by this act of evil, especially Jewish Australians, we are all with you.
- An exciting moment – congratulations Anthony and Jodie ❤️💍❤️
- Today the Government cut HECS debts and is working to pass comprehensive environmental protection laws. The Liberals and Nationals are, once again, riddled with division.
- We’ve just finished another fortnight in Parliament.
- It must be Halloween eve, because the Nationals have launched a spooky new scare campaign; suggesting speed limits on regional roads will be cut. Here are the facts.

These bases are more than regional hubs, they provide local jobs and critical connectivity to our regions.Replying to @CatherineKingMPThe Government will continue to stand up for those living and working in the regions. I urge Qantas to reconsider this move and engage with those affected.It’s not enough for Australia’s airlines to just fly in and out of regional communities, they should be a strong community partner and a reliable employer as well.
- We’re making flying fairer — establishing Aviation Consumer Protections so you know what your rights as passengers are every time you fly. We want to hear from you. What are your ideas? How can we tweak these protections so they work for you? Have your say today.
00:00Follow the link and have your say 👇 - Today a member of the Liberal Party said men are more suited to maths and trades, while women are drawn to care roles. They've been saying things like this for decades. A note to the Liberals and Nationals; it's 2025. Your gender never means a job is off limits.
00:00 - Parliament has returned, and for the first time, 56% of Labor MPs are women.
