Show Notes

Kevin Rudd has announced he will step down as Australia's ambassador to the United States at the end of March 2026 after three years in the role. Former Labor senator Stephen Conroy and former defence minister Joel Fitzgibbon are among the top contenders being discussed to replace him in Washington. Former ambassador Arthur Sinodinos suggests the position requires someone with ministerial experience and strong networking abilities, noting that Fitzgibbon has the personality, defence background, and established US connections that make him a strong candidate.
