My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Wong. Minister, today the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, and Prime Minister Napat of Vanuatu signed a new treaty, the Vanuatu-Australia Nakamal Agreement, here in Canberra. As the minister has previously said, this agreement will 'transform the relationship between our two countries'. Could the minister explain what this treaty means for Australia and how it helps further secure Australia's place in our region?
