Penny Wong speaking at the United Nations General Assembly

Australia’s climate change policy, diverse parliament, working with First Nations people and engagement in the Asia-Pacific region are among the reasons why Australia should be elected to the UN Security Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs. penny won He spoke at the United Nations General Assembly late last night.

Mr Wong said:

I am honored to speak on behalf of a nation with over 300 diverse ancestry and the oldest continuous culture on earth. Like this hall, Australia is a collection of people from all over the world.

When Australians look to the world, they find themselves reflected. Similarly, the world can be seen reflected in Australia.

senator Patrick Dodsonthe Yaul men were with Wong in New York as Australia’s envoy for reconciliation and heartfelt implementation of the Uluru Statement.

According to Wong, there are a record number of First Nation parliamentarians, and other parliamentarians come from “all over the world.” she said:

  • Australians want “urgent and serious action” on climate change and want Australia to legislate emissions reduction targets and become a “renewable energy superpower”.

  • Australians are ‘part of the Pacific family’ and climate change is their ‘greatest threat’.

  • Russia’s President Vladimir Putin’s nuclear threat underscores the ‘urgency of advancing nuclear disarmament’, and Australia will redouble its efforts to strengthen its disarmament and non-proliferation regimes.

  • The government is embarking on a new development policy, increasing development spending by more than $1 billion.

Wong said a conflict in the Indo-Pacific would be “devastating” and all nations should ask themselves what they can do to prevent it.

How do we relinquish our responsibility to contain tensions, to put the brakes on the unstoppable momentum of conflict in this region and beyond? In all other diplomacy, we are determined to carry out these duties.

That is why we seek seats on the UN Security Council for 2029-2030.

That is why we call for Security Council reform with more permanent representation of Africa, Latin America, and Asia, including India and Japan.

We know that we will always be better off in a world where the rules and norms of trade, maritime territories, military engagement, environment and human rights are clear, mutually negotiated and consistently followed.

History tells us that the alternative to what we have built here is conflict and chaos.

Australia is a non-permanent member of the Council, which can authorize the deployment of troops by United Nations member states, order ceasefires and impose economic sanctions on countries, and has participated on the past five occasions.
