Today, Australia ratified the High Seas Biodiversity Treaty, an important step towards protecting our shared ocean.

Australia is seeking a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for 2029–30.
A seat on the UNSC will give Australia and our region more influence to shape the agenda and drive action that delivers for Australians and the world.

Australia is deeply concerned by reports of ramming and dangerous manoeuvres towards a Philippine fisheries vessel by a China Coast Guard vessel in the South China Sea. Such actions are unsafe and destabilising.
