Labor is a strong supporter of international development assistance, including addressing the impacts of climate change in our Pacific neighbours such as Kiribati. The shadow foreign minister, Senator Penny Wong, has recently announced that Labor is committed to rebuilding the development assistance program after years of cuts under the current government. Labor looks forward to continuing to work closely with the people of Kiribati, and other Pacific island nations with whom we share strong bonds, to adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change as well as supporting their development and prosperity more broadly.
