It has been an honour to serve as Australia’s Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment in the Morrison Government for the past 847 days. I congratulate Dan Tehan on his swearing into this portfolio.
With one in five Australian jobs reliant on trade, our export sector is such a critical part of our economy and will play a crucial role in Australia’s ultimate economic recovery from COVID-19.

Statement – RIGHT HONOURABLE DOUG ANTHONY AC, CH
The Federal Executive of The Nationals have paid tribute to The Right Honourable Doug Anthony AC, CH who passed away earlier today.
As the Member for Richmond, the Leader of The Nationals and Deputy Prime Minister, Doug Anthony epitomised the values of the former Country Party and current Nationals through a thorough understanding of the challenges facing regional Australia.

Doug Anthony would probably be most remembered for running the country as acting PM, when Malcolm Fraser was on holiday over the Xmas/New Year period, from a caravan on his beach block at New Brighton, NSW far north coast. As he said:
