Unfortunately, NIMBYism is the biggest hurdle. 👇🏻 Extremely useful 🧵 tracking all things #franz 🇦🇺 🇫🇷 🇳🇿 in 🇻🇺 @Dicker_JJ Nothing like seeing a jaded EL1 writing TPs in RGC while wearing track pants 🙃 Including my piece from a few weeks back on the foreign policy implications of this massive failure in public administration |
https://t.co/w7qL7jKoSr Excellent compilation of @TheMandarinAU’s coverage of #Robodebt here |
https://t.co/iFOaTw980V This article draws on @AsiaPacific4D's recent report, "What does it look like for Australia to use all tools of statecraft in practice", and also draws on the findings in the @LowyInstitute's Asia Power Index. |
https://t.co/f1EmFnEno1 A pleasure to write with @SusannahCPatton for @LowyInstitute Interpreter on some ideas to improve the machinery of Australia's international policy. Wagner and Henry doing their best to make sure India 🇮🇳 make the #wtcfinal |
#INDvAUS #NZvsSL “By avoiding the topic now, Australia sets a difficult precedent, making it harder to speak and act in the future without causing major, even irreparable, damage to the bilateral relationship.” Growing commercial and strategic ties with 🇮🇳 is the right move for 🇦🇺- but silence on human rights and cheerleading for Modi is not only morally reprehensible but diplomatically inept. |
https://t.co/3FdDJwZpOV If there is a single thing you read about Albanese’s Indian jaunt, it should be this from @BenedictColeri1 |
https://t.co/tGhAiEauI8 @tomjconley I am all the richer now for learning the term “croweater”! @citowicki https://t.co/7IHTQwm4Ft @Retiredwino58 Sounds suspiciously like sunk cost fallacy, if you’ll excuse the pun How did Australia get to a point where it is assumed that South Australia must, and has some kind of inherent right to, build any submarines? @JDWilson08 DFAT tradies reading this https://t.co/nKRRoxCDtB @tomjconley https://t.co/3FdDJwZXEt Strongly recommended reading for all things HADR coordination & #FRANZ 👇🏻 @JDWilson08 @B_Herscovitch @AGhiselliChina @vshih2 Think might need to distinguish between Australian Outlook, which is the opinion/short analysis page, and the Journal, which is an academic publication, both run by @AIIANational? @chill_AID @AsiaPacific4D It’s a really good point Cam! And the paper actually speaks about this exact risk for development. But also look out for an article soon expanding on this point too… @GhazaviVD @nordacious oh |

Large authoritarians can’t be predators on smaller democratic nations.” |
Ignore the alarmist headline: it's a good read: |

https://t.co/PHGq9GKJ8x https://t.co/A3dU2102FL Kudos to @abcsport for investing in long-form sports journalism to tell these stories. |
https://t.co/T2dEVjNXdn As we await kick-off, do yourself a favour and read these excellent pieces from @campo37 on the rise and fall of the Crushers - a cautionary tale of how not to do expansion. |
https://t.co/W3aJnJgkso Wishing every success to the @dolphinsnrl today. Rugby League expansion is doing the Lord’s work. Consolidating SE Queensland against the southern scourge is vital. https://t.co/XsTAySq5VM Excellent comments here from @DrAnnaBoucher1. |
The right of primary employers to veto secondary incomes that have no bearing on the employee’s main work is an unreasonable restraint of trade that disproportionately affects low income people. |
https://t.co/OOAgK62vZe #Robodebt isn’t just a problem for domestic public policy, though: |
https://t.co/w7qL7jKoSr Spot on from @latingle here |
https://t.co/5IOldwyWJs @JDWilson08 Calippo to Feral Hop Hog is a very strong progression "Consigning a taboo status to basing access inhibits US allies from approaching it as a legitimate form of reciprocity for an external defence guarantee from Washington—and communicating that to the public." |
Enjoyed this thoughtful piece from @graham_euan @bridirice @AusForeign Good to see the matchbox cars of liberalism doing jumps over autocracy! Proud to see @JMIPublicPolicy continue to grow with @UNSW & @CharlesSturtUni coming on board, alongside @Sydney_Uni @UTSEngage @westernsydneyu An extremely timely and useful piece of research here by @USSC @pklee27 @SophieAlexMayo & Alice Nason 👇 See below for full text 👇 https://t.co/kWj3eqp7N0 Could this be a first step towards an "international policy graduate program", as we suggest in @AsiaPacific4D's latest Options Paper? |
https://t.co/f1EmFnEno1 Interesting to see @dfat & @Austrade running a joint grad recruitment process, though the programs themselves remain separate |

https://t.co/WOO1AbX3kV @benraue @NSWPolAlerts @thetallyroom Yes agreed, it’s a curious one @benraue @NSWPolAlerts @thetallyroom Given shifting demographics to higher SES, especially in Balmain, do you think the seat could become competitive for the Liberals in future elections? @mfullilove @AUinUA Should develop a standalone chancery too - not just rent a room from the Canadians @JDWilson08 https://t.co/xcMIdx5e2t How would you explain the role of the “Marylebone Cricket Club World Cricket Committee on non-strikers leaving their ground early” to aliens 👽 (or Americans 🇺🇸, for that matter)? @JacobBerah I'm just not sure it actually is though? Hugh White has written like 4 QEs now on essentially the same topic... @JacobBerah The problem with this article wasn't the views themselves, it was that 4 blokes with essentially the same perspective were hand picked to make its conclusions seemingly irresistible. @JacobBerah PJK will PJK, of course, as you say. But there are less divisive and more constructive voices to ask legitimate questions about the alliance. Unfortunately, many outlets prioritise pithy quotes from "former PM" over considered analysis. PJK doesn't need another platform... @JacobBerah To a degree, but it’s wildly off the mark, and frankly insulting, to suggest that most pro-alliance Australian commentators are have lost sight of Australian interests. PJK uses Sheridan as a straw man to attack anyone he disagrees with. 🤦♂️ Thanks to everyone who contributed to this report - including @grantwyeth @MConleytyler @AliciaMollaun @benjaminsday @bridirice @csmccaffrie @dmandrews13 @fionatarpey Richard Moore, @SusannahCPatton @WillLeben2 @WilliamAStoltz + many others One of the most interesting parts of the report is our attempt to 'map' Australia's tools of statecraft 🗺️👇 https://t.co/bLiH9G1RcP You can read the full report here 👇 |
https://t.co/f1EmFnEno1 Great to launch @AsiaPacific4D's new report today on how Australia can better utilise all its tools of statecraft. |
@MConleytyler and I wrote for the @TheMandarinAU on some of the key findings 👇 |
https://t.co/sz7LZAx5Fy The point really is that in 2023 everyone’s problems are everyone else’s problems. This👇🏻 |
But in addition to inconsistency on values, it’s also a strategic error by the likes of 🇦🇺 & 🇺🇸 not to be more vocal about threats to democracy in 🇮🇳. A stable, liberal democratic 🇮🇳 will be a more reliable partner. “Canberra may worry that prioritising anti-corruption risks undermining bilateral relationships. But this stance gives too much weight to the perspectives of corrupt elites, and too little to that of ordinary people, ultimately leading to a less resilient region.” 💯 “Australia & it’s democratic partners should not seek to export democracy…but they have a responsibility to help end kleptocratic power by refusing to provide a haven for the stolen wealth that benefits corrupt elites & undercuts local reformers who want to improve governance” Do yourself a favour and read @GhazaviVD’s piece in @AusForeign on why 🇦🇺 needs an international anti-corruption strategy. |
This is what principled, pragmatic and effective foreign policy that takes a long-term, expansive view of the national interest looks like. 1/ https://t.co/4d4KcOAuni Just wait until they find out about Rugby League… A useful historical intervention on The Strategist @ASPI_org |
https://t.co/xXTY4OmQfV @erinwatsonlynn For reference, for the uninitiated: https://t.co/Czp2OXnnOA @erinwatsonlynn My life didn't really begin until I met my 🇲🇰 partner and discovered ajvar 🥹 This is the fourth instalment in The Policymaker's Anti-Slavery hub, which brings together leading voices on tackling this critical human rights issues through effective public policy. |
https://t.co/TcpB0FWWLa Great to publish Claire Morse and Conrad Townson from Project Paradigm today on the importance of multi-agency collaborations to tackling modern slavery in Australia. |
Read their article on The Policymaker @JMIPublicPolicy |

DFATID?" |
Enjoyed this from @chill_AID on @devpolicy |
https://t.co/gBlmZWCjyL @ProfTimStephens @IWCouncil Have to say I still shudder when governments refer to their people as “customers”. Surely “residents” or “citizens”, or even “Inner Westies”? @ambassthebault @SenatorWong @RichardMarlesMP @Egl_Staunton @AIIANational @AusAmbFR @AusCGNoumea @dfat Some thoughts from me on Australia-France ties post #FRAUmin earlier this week. |
tldr: breadth in the relationship is positive, but Australia needs to be clear eyed about prioritising coordination in the Indo-Pacific. |
https://t.co/CJVG9JbZAz Congrats 👏🏻 @AngelaCummine on publishing @JMIPublicPolicy’s first Policy Insights Paper An Australian Republic is about national dignity. |
But this comms strategy focused on highlighting royal scandal and gossip debases the republican movement. big boii 🦭 just wants to live "...it is becoming clear that the primary comparative advantage countries will have in the 21st Century is whether they allow their women to flourish, and whether they can help their men mature." 💯 Great read here by @tomdecent |
Sheffield Shield has 66 first class spots available at any time; County Championship has 198. |
Bigger opportunity cost for Australian players by subbing in o/s players; whereas o/s players bolster quality of the CC with local talent spread thinly BIG @dfat HOM syndrome energy Good reading here from @HayleyChanner & John Kunkel on harnessing means beyond the federal budget to resource Australian statecraft, especially defence. |
https://t.co/j2ixxfkcU6 🚨 JOBS 🚨 |
Join the great team at @ACFID working on policy and advocacy. Lovely people, important work |
Applications close 20 Jan. |
https://t.co/CH8Hj92hJK @DrTLeeBrown @SteveOkeefe7 I don’t think SOK’s fitness would permit this I suspect. But if he was 5 years younger and still playing first class cricket, he’d be the first choice left arm orthodox ahead of Agar. Is it actually too late to get @SteveOkeefe7 on the plane to India? |
#sok What are the options? |
1. Convince Australian judges to not take up appointments, if offered. Hopefully this helps create peer pressure in judicial circles not to do so. |
2. The nuclear option: enact laws preventing Australians serving on designated foreign courts. As I outline here, Australia’s strong position on 🇨🇳’s crackdown in 🇭🇰 means that the government must take active steps to prevent the institutional credibility of @HighCourtofAus (& state supreme courts) being lent to the 🇭🇰 system. |
