Mission accomplished, Sydney Dance Company! Washington was electrifed by your sold-out, landmark performances of ‘Impermanence’ at the Kennedy Center. An honour to see you on stage with Australian String Quartet, and to welcome you all to the Residence to celebrate the end of your triumphant US tour.
Our grateful nation thanks Mike Gallagher for his service to the 🇺🇸-🇦🇺 alliance. He has been a true blue champion as a Co-Chair of the Friends of Australia Caucus. Good on you, Mike. You have earned life-long mates from the land down under.
With thanks to US military colleagues, including General CQ Brown, Jr., Chairman of The Joint Staff 🇺🇸, for joining me and my NZ counterpart Bede Corry for this morning of shared remembrance.

Proud to say I'm the third Australian Ambassador to the US who has had the good fortune to work with Mike Gallagher in his role as a co-chair of the Friends of Australia Caucus. This is an honour well-deserved.
Networking is everything in this town. Australian Women in DC is a fresh forum for celebrating female leadership & bringing our best to the fore of the 🇦🇺-🇺🇸 relationship. Congrats on a great event at the Embassy. Am sure I'm biased but Thérèse Rein 💡 will be a terrific patron.
