Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has released a statement honouring Australia's service men and women on Remembrance Day.

Taylor says Australians will today remember all who serviced, suffered and sacrificed in wars and military operations for the country.

He says his grandfather served in World War I on the Western Front and survived an injury to his leg at Bullecourt.

"Australia wouldn't be the country it is today but for all those Australians who, across our history, risked all to fight evil, to defend our home, and to preserve our freedoms," Taylor says.

"Our remembrance rouses responsibility too. The deeds of those who served — and the inheritance they've bequeathed — inspire us to do what we must to protect our way of life. And our remembrance holds us to the mark."

Anthony Albanese has paid tribute to Australia's serving men and women on Remembrance Day with a visit to a chapel in Singapore dedicated to prisoners of war.

The prime minister stopped at the Changi Chapel where he laid a wreath and toured a museum documenting the plight of allied soldiers held there by Japan during World War II.

"The 15,000 Australians who were interned here in Changi represent the best of the Australian character. They showed courage, selflessness, sacrifice and mateship," he said.

"They looked after each other here and then when so many of them were transferred to the Burma Siam-Railway, undergoing horrendous conditions."

Among those interned at Changi and sent to work on the railway was Labor legend and mentor to Albanese, Tom Uren.

"Today we honour all veterans, and we honour all serving personnel in the Australian Defence Force," the Prime Minister said.

Albanese is now travelling to Antalya in Türkiye for COP31 where he is due to speak at the opening of the leader's summit at the UN climate conference later today.
