“While Kirribilli House is the Prime Minister’s official residence in Sydney, the Australian people are its true custodians,” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said.

“Since 1957, Kirribilli House has been a Commonwealth property for special occasions and official purposes, including as an official residence.

“Countless international dignitaries have visited for bilateral talks and official events.”
