Earlier today, Dennis Richardson, Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, gave a Lowy Institute Distinguished Speaker address on the topic, 'DFAT: Who are we, and what do we do?'. A full podcast and video should be up on the Lowy website in the next day or two.
Before he spoke, I took the chance to interview the Secretary about how diplomacy has changed and some of the major challenges facing Australia.
