Australia's former ambassador to Israel warns his old department that it risks irrelevance unless it overhauls its digital diplomacy and reporting.
Australian bottled wine exports to Japan were worth $37.2 million in 2018, an increase of 8% compared to 2017.
And he warns in the paper that the department's influence in Canberra is waning because it largely communicates via electronic"cables" that are too hard for other agencies to access. "DFAT's continued reliance on this system … needlessly restricts its audience and increasingly deals it out of policy influence in Canberra, where many of the national security agencies don't access or don't bother to read DFAT's cables."
