Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:57): Japan and Australia share a common goal: a region that is stable, that is prosperous and that is respectful of sovereignty, and a world in which differences and disputes are resolved by international law and norms, not simply by power and size. We also have an interest in nuclear nonproliferation. Japan's Prime Minister Kishida hails from Hiroshima and he has made clear his aim for pursuing denuclearisation. We share his ambition. I particularly want to underline in this chamber a very important part of the statement between the— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator WONG: a very important part of the statement between Prime Minister Kishida and Prime Minister Albanese, which was the condemnation of Russia's threat to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. It is serious, it is unacceptable and it is an unacceptable menace to the peace and security of the international community. It is important today that I repeat that condemnation here in the Senate chamber. Any use of nuclear weapons will be met with a resolute and unequivocal response. (Time expired)
