³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾

Economic statecraft in challenging time

Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

I would like to begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet.

I pay my respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.

I’d like to thank the ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Press Club for hosting me today in very different circumstances than usual but that demonstrate their capacity to innovate.

The backdrop today I hope will inspire all those watching to travel again and especially to the most beautiful part of Australia, Western Victoria.
