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."

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.

We're focused on you, but they're focused on each other.

While they’re arguing, we’re working.

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.
