The mighty Brisbane Broncos are Australia's NRL champions! For my friends here in the US, Rugby League is one of Australia’s fiercest sports. No pads, no helmets, and no breaks in play. If you ask anyone from my home state of Queensland, there's no better game.

This is Aussie capital powering American jobs and energy security. Woodside Energy has broken ground on their $17.5 billion LNG project in Louisiana. It's the biggest investment they’ve ever made in the US, and the largest foreign direct investment in the state’s history.

Today marks 24 years since the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001. As a young member of parliament, I said at the time that the actions we saw on that day marked a turning point in human history, in the history of international relations, and in terms of how one nation deals with another.
