Third Plenary Session: Saturday 2 June 2018, 1130-1300 Shaping Asia’s Evolving Security Order Remarks by Senator the Hon Marise Payne
Thank you very much Dr Alan Ryan for your extremely warm introduction, and I'm very grateful that you didn't count those years.
Canberra is the capital city of Australia. It was created back in 1913 to be separate from our two biggest cities, Sydney and Melbourne. It’s cold in winter, hot in summer, and the home of much of our nation’s government and Defence leadership. It’s been my second home for the last twenty-five years when our Parliament is sitting.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and Michael, thank you very much for your very warm introduction. I wasn't going to say 25, but you said quarter of a century, and that kind of wrapped it up.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen. And let me begin this morning by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet, and pay my respects to their elders past, present and future. Let me also thank Aunty Tina for your very informative welcome.
It’s a pleasure to be here today. I am aware of the important role the Australian Chamber of Commerce plays in advancing cooperation between Singapore and Australia.
Good morning. I’m honoured to be here today at the National Defence College. I am keenly aware of the important work you do in preparing the defence and national security leaders of the future. This is my second visit to your exciting country – my first was in 2015, in my former role as Minister for Education and Training.
Thank you very much for that introduction. It is a great pleasure to address the Lowy Institute this morning. With a distinguished board, it does us all a great service by stimulating debate and discussion on policy and Australia’s place in the world. This contribution is particularly valuable on foreign and defence policy.
It’s a pleasure to be here today. CEDA does tremendous work in stimulating debate on a very wide range of economic and social issues. I’m a great supporter and constantly aware of CEDA’s distinguished contributions.
It is a pleasure to be here, in Sydney, at the Pacific 2017 Sea Power Conference. I’m here to talk about the most exciting and long-term re-capitalisation of the Royal Australian Navy’s maritime capability for decades. I know this room appreciates the sovereign importance of a sound naval shipbuilding enterprise in Australia.
Let me start by acknowledging the traditional owners on the land on which we meet here at the International Convention Centre this afternoon, and pay my respects to their elders past and present, and also to take the opportunity to thank Uncle Allen Madden for his welcome this morning. You can always rely on Allen for a joke.

It’s a pleasure to have the opportunity this afternoon to address the Menzies Research Centre – an institution with a unique role; to both honour the thinking of Sir Robert Menzies, the founder of the Liberal Party, and to continue to explore and develop the principles and philosophies he bought to politics that not only saw him become our natio

It’s a great pleasure to be here at the National Defense Industrial Association Conference and it’s serendipitous that the quadrilateral will be meeting here while I’m also in Washington.
We stand here in this place to mark the sacrifice, the resolve and the bravery of the men who died for us. We remember them through their story, a story that we carry as their descendants. We have travelled here to pay our respects to the first Anzacs and to those who follow them.
