Day 26 cont 🥔🤓🇮🇩

#Indonesia’s ambassador met with senior #Australian #diplomats on Tuesday as the nation was thrust into an election campaign debate about a potential #Russian military presence in the region – and on the same day #AnthonyAlbanese accused #PeterDutton of damaging the bilateral relationship.

Indonesia’s ambassador to Australia, Dr #SiswoPramono, met with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s (#DFAT) deputy secretary, #MichelleChan, who leads its south-east Asian policy division. One diplomatic source said Indonesia requested the meeting.

The meeting has been described by multiple sources as part of a regular series of engagements between #Pramono and #Chan, who is also responsible for managing the department’s diplomatic relationship with Indonesia.”

The Guardian

The US is literally Interrogating, Strip Searching, Forcing into Cold Showers, Illegally Detaining, putting into Cuffs & Detention Camps and "Disappearing" travelers now, and yet #DFAT here in Australia still says "Yeah it's fine, Travel advice for the US remains 'Green' and 'Safe'" ... WTAF?!!!

Sad developments in international development aid. Glad I'm no longer working in it

If #DFAT was serious about its travel advisory for the USA from now on.

At the very least Australia's #DFAT will have to upgrade its travel advisory for the US, not just for epidemics but greater dangers for women and LGBTQI+ people.

@fixatedpersonsunit

Another major #AustralianPublicService #APS failure on #Abbott / #Turnbull / #Morrison watches.

#EthicalBankruptcy was evident many years prior.

Friend meets with #DFAT Australia's Dept of Foreign Affairs and Trade and asks for action against a smaller #Genocide occuring in S.E. Asia.
Public servant asks, "How will us taking action improve trade?".
With there being no prospects of improvements in trade forthcoming the meeting was terminated.

Been building for years.

@kcarruthers And yet #DFAT’s advice to travellers to the USA is still ‘Exercise normal safety precautions’?

Not only did the #honoraryconsulate in #Kampala #Uganda give me the wrong forms etc after I got mugged and I had to urgently get a new passport, but as a result I got overcharged. Now it's taking months to get a refund. Although this is also #Nairobi now. Absolutely hopeless. But you'd love to have their jobs.

#DFAT #Australia #diplomacy #consularservices

Australian passport times still seem to be quite haphazard… 6 weeks and waiting for my daughter’s to be renewed #passport #DFAT
And as for the "honorary consul" who doesn't appear to have that great (if any) links to, history or association with Australia, that appointment is also questionable. But hope he can at least tell his staff to improve #honoraryconsuls #Kampala #Uganda #DFAT #honoraryconsulates #diplomats
