Portfolio — 12 May 2026
Minister Pat Conroy's Budget media release sets out the government's international engagement priorities for 2026-27, headlined by $87 million for DFAT and other entities to implement the nuclear-powered submarine programme alongside strict non-proliferation commitments. Bilateral focus is sharp: $33.2 million targets Indonesia under the Jakarta Treaty and $25.3 million supports Australian business engagement with India through Maitri grants, while Ukraine's duty-free access is extended to July 2028.
In the House, Conroy's activity was confined to a condolence contribution honouring the late Peter Morris, a former Labor transport minister — a parliamentary obligation distinct from his ministerial portfolio activity that day.
The official records this note draws on — the raw primary documents themselves, as published.
