This year’s Anzac Day marks 102 years since our Anzacs landed on the beach at Gallipoli in World War I. Today we pause and reflect on the sacrifice made by our service men and women who have fought for their country, with many who made the ultimate sacrifice.
In the last two decades global terrorism has changed the world in which we live. And much of the posture and efforts of our defence forces today are a response to that. This horrendous event puts this all into stark relief. “Armed service is a profession unlike any other.”
It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the death of an Australian Army soldier in the Mount Bundey Training Area earlier today. On behalf of the Labor Opposition, we extend our deepest sympathies to the soldier’s family and friends. There can be no sadder or more difficult day.
Australia need amphibious ships that work. They keep our troops safe when they’re in harm’s way. They help Australians during time of need, like recovering from Cyclone Debbie. Today’s reports tell us those ships are stuck in harbour indefinitely. They can’t help anyone there.

Reports today detailing allegations of corruption within Australian Border Force are incredibly serious and throw into question the integrity of our border security and customs operations.
