Flying to Melb to see everyone close to Hakeem, welcome him tomorrow. This is significant win for humanity, people everywhere standing up for good, pushing back against regimes who flout international law, for human rights. Gives us hope to help others, everywhere #Hakeemhome

Many wonderful people stepped forward to help Hakeem. They all deserve to be in front of camera now, not only me. I can’t list them, but will thank each of them in time. My thoughts are with Hakeem’s wife. Her nightmare will shortly be at an end. Our prayers answered #Hakeemhome

Most important thing now is Hakeem’s immediate wellbeing. Sure Embassy staff will take care of him, there’ll be tears there tonight, as there are in our household right now. Going to take some moments to thank as many of the incredible people involved as possible ✊ #SaveHakeem

We understand that @prayutofficial Govt and court has ruled to release Hakeem. My thanks go to the wonderful people of Thailand for your support and to Thai Govt for upholding international law. My deepest gratitude. Also to everyone who stood for what’s right 👏 #Hakeemhome

Thanks again to @sunriseon7 for your support and to keeping the people of Australia updated on the campaign including the wonderful work of the Australians of the Year in stepping forward to help #SaveHakeem

Well done guys, outstanding work. Important that grass roots campaigns continue to get word out. Lara went to pick banner up while I was overseas, unbeknown to me. She’s amazing. Bravo to you all, my thanks and I echo your message. Let’s get him back to his wife 🙏 #SaveHakeem
