Australian Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles has defended Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's decision to accept a global leadership award at a black-tie event in Manhattan hosted by the Atlantic Council.
Marles said the award recognized Australia's efforts in managing its place in the world and its region, pointing to alliances with countries including Papua New Guinea and Fiji, as well as the pursuit of the AUKUS security arrangement, which he said is building Australian capability amid a challenging global environment.
He said the recognition given to the prime minister was deserved and reflected the government's broader work to keep Australians safe.
Marles also addressed disruption to the global fuel supply chain, saying it is affecting the global economy and that the government is working to manage its impact on Australia's own economy and budget.
