It was wonderful to meet The Hon Arthur Sinodinos AO tonight at Government House tonight. Mr Sinodinos is a diplomat and was the 22nd Australian Ambassador to the United States plus he was Prime Minister John Howards Chief of Staff prior to that. He gave a fascinating talk.

Addressing @AIIATAS, Dr Heather Smith argues the fundamental drivers of prosperity have been abandoned by nations, with fewer redistributed policies & rising inequality. This disillusionment poses a tricky task for foreign policymakers. via @TheMandarinAU bit.ly/3VEEfWU
