Today marks four years since Russia invaded Ukraine, a violation of international law that remains as immoral and repugnant now as it did then.
We pause to reflect on all that the Ukrainian people have endured. We think of every life so cruelly and pointlessly stolen. We think of every life damaged forever.
Yet we are also awed by the courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people and their refusal to buckle to the tyrant in the Kremlin.
We stand with Ukraine.
Our support includes a commitment of over $1.7 billion in total assistance, including $1.5 billion in military support to help Ukraine defend itself.
We remain committed to ensuring that Russia and its enablers face consequences.
Today, our Government has imposed additional targeted sanctions on 180 individuals, entities and shadow fleet vessels with links to Russia, bringing the total number of Australian sanctions to more than 1800.
We continue to coordinate closely with Ukraine and international partners through the Coalition of the Willing, and we continue to push for a just and lasting peace.
A peace that upholds Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, supports Europe’s security and stability, and delivers us a world liberated from Russia’s aggression.
Slava Ukraini!

Today, Australia marks a National Day of Mourning.
We honour the 15 innocent lives taken in the Bondi Beach terrorist attack, and stand with their families, loved ones and the Bondi Chabad community.
We will never let hate win.
All Australians are encouraged to mark this day. Light a candle, pause for a minute of silence at 7.01pm, and stand with one another.
Flags are flying at half-mast across the country as we mourn together.
This is a day of remembrance. And a day of unity.
Because light will always be stronger than hate.
Calling all Australian creatives. The Australian Cultural Diplomacy Grants Program (ACDGP) is now open – supporting projects that tell Australian stories, amplify First Nations voices and build global connections.

New Zealand is shocked and distressed by the vile terrorist attack targeting Australia’s Jewish community in Sydney last night.
Our deepest condolences are with all those who have lost loved ones.
We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community in Australia, New Zealand and around the world.
Terrorism, antisemitism and hate have no place in our societies.

⚠️Update from @MetService for tomorrow's severe 🔴 red warning period.
👉 This is only the 19th time a severe weather event has had a red warning issued since the system was implemented in 2019.
Think about where you're going, what your surroundings will be, overhead trees, loose objects or any debris. Even objects you'd not normally expect to be airborne. Fires. Overturning trucks. Walking next to traffic. Check moorings TODAY. Have a bug out plan if you're in an exposed area.
Prepare for widespread power outages and have sufficient food, water and medical needs.
The second of two significant weather systems this week arrives on Thursday, and looks more intense and more widespread
Warnings for damaging winds and heavy rain cover a broad swathe of the country
Here's Heather with what to expect

I extend our sincere condolences for the passing of former Prime Minister Rt Hon Jim Bolger ONZ PC.
Jim Bolger was a champion for New Zealand and the Trans-Tasman alliance, understanding the value in working together to tackle shared challenges.
My thoughts are with his family and friends as they mourn his loss.
