Senator CICCONE (Victoria—Deputy Government Whip in the Senate) (14:55): Thank you very much, President. I appreciate that; it's a rowdy day. My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Penny Wong. Minister, how is the Albanese Labor government making Australia a stronger and much more influential partner in a very contested world, particularly with what has arisen out of our commitments in the October budget earlier this week? Could you also please inform the Senate how the Australian government is building a stronger Pacific family?
