WILLIAM HAGUE WITH FORMER AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER, JOHN HOWARD, YESTERDAY.
William Hague is downunder, undertaking the first visit by a British Foreign Secretary to one of our nation's greatest friends and allies since 1994. Not one of Labour's Foreign Secretaries bothered. Extraordinary.
There is a report on the visit from the BBC's Nick Bryant here. It has the appropriate title Ending the diplomatic neglect.
DEFENCE SECRETARY LIAM FOX IS TRAVELLING WITH MR HAGUE. THEY ARE PICTURED ABOVE MEETING THEIR COUNTERPARTS, STEPHEN SMITH AND KEVIN RUDD.
