The new US ambassador made clear she can command a room without raising her voice, gently telling off a male reporter for interrupting a female journalist.

“Personally, this means a great deal to me,” she said of her appointment. It’s a lesson for Australian politicians to keep in mind, as well as impatient male journalists at future press conferences. And her father was rescued by an Australian coast watcher and two Solomon Islanders while serving in the Pacific during World War II. “The fact it means something to people around the world makes me really proud and I want to be worthy of it and continue the values my father lived by.” Her uncle Bobby was shot dead five years later while campaigning for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. “It was like being ticked off by the headmistress!” he said afterwards.

US Ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy has chided a reporter as she arrives in Australia to take up her post.

“I try to live up to and and I think the fact that it means something to people around the world makes me really proud and want to be worthy of it and do what I can to continue the values that my father would like,” she said. “Between COVID and all of that ... we’ve also seen that people can work remotely and I think that there’s been a lot of work ongoing, even though there hasn’t been an ambassador. “I know there’s a lot of work to do in the Pacific. We’re putting our embassies back in and the Peace Corps coming, and USAID is coming back and we’re coming back. Ms Kennedy was nominated to be ambassador in December, confirmed by the Senate in May and sworn in in June. The embassy’s deputy head of mission, career diplomat Mike Goldman, has been serving as acting ambassador in the interim. ”We haven’t been there for a while, but I think ... that is all tremendously positive, and I think the US and Australia working together will make a big impact.” “I think the US-Australia partnership is really my focus and the work that we do together in the region, security, economic engagement, climate change, health, security, all those things,” she said.

We’re putting our embassies back in and the Peace Corps is coming, and USAID is coming back and we’re coming back,” she said.
