Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has appealed for the 193 member states of the United Nations to ensure the quest for peace is not left to the "loudest voices" in his address at the 81st UN General Assembly. His message from the podium echoed that of his key middle power partners, Canada’s Mark Carney and the European Commission’s Ursula Von der Leyen. "We understand the UN mission cannot be entrusted solely to the great powers, or the biggest countries, or even the loudest voices alone," Albanese said. "Nor can it be sub-contracted to the world’s richest companies or dictated by the pace of technology." Earlier in the week, Albanese officially launched Australia’s bid for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council in 2029 and 2030.
