And on the Trump administration giving the Aukus deal a tick after its ‘review’ (a reminder that Australia remains the only Aukus nation which has not reviewed the deal):

Well, the AUKUS review remains ongoing, but we’ve been participating very constructively with it, and AUKUS has been meeting its milestones. And that is why, in discussions I’ve had with the United Kingdom and with the United States, there has been support for it. We know that AUKUS is in the interests of Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It is about a partnership which is in the interests of all three nations, which will make peace and security in our region so much stronger.

And on Optus’s response to the Triple 0 outrages:

Well, we’re not satisfied with any of Optus’s behaviour. Optus has let down its customers and it’s let down the nation. There will be, of course, ongoing investigation into how exactly this has occurred. Minister [Anika] Wells has been very strong, as is entirely appropriate here, for what is an unacceptable failure of service by Optus to its customers and to the nation.
