China has added hay exports to the series of trade restrictions it has lifted during ongoing negotiations with the Australian government. The move is an encouraging sign that Australia's delegations are making some headway in improving relations with China. It also walks the diplomatic tightrope to counter the country’s influence in the Indo-Pacific. “It’s many … millions of dollars of trade that we had lost and we’ve now regained,” said Trade Minister Don Farrell. “There is a lot of untapped demand for our hay in China and I’m very confident you’ll see deliveries going back into China very, very quickly.”

Armenian-Australians protest against Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-KarabakhHundreds of Armenian-Australians are gathering outside the Turkish, Azerbaijani, Russian and United States embassies in Canberra to protest Azerbaijan's military offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh. The Armenian-Australian community is calling on the United States and Russian governments to do more on the ground in Nagorno Karabakh as indigenous Armenians are pushed out from their ancestral homeland.
