In this episode, we discuss what it was like to lead DFAT during the AusAID Integration, including Peter's thoughts on why the decision remains controversial. We discuss Australia's development leadership, including our development policy. And we also look at public sector versus private sector leadership styles during periods of change or crisis. Peter is always insightful and a privilege to learn from. I hope you enjoy the episode. Full bio: Peter Varghese began as Chancellor of The University of Queensland on 11 July 2016.

The relationship between Australia and Southeast Asian countries has grown substantially in the last decade, from a marriage of convenience to the development of regional agendas, strategic partnerships and shared economic interests. A global pandemic has shifted priorities, and vaccine diplomacy throughout the region has both shifted and strengthened existing allegiances. Has Australia's actions during the pandemic helped or hindered relationships with Southeast Asian nations? What will the post-COVID-19 regional order of Southeast Asia look like? The launch of the 5th issue of the La Trobe Asia Policy Brief. Speakers: Professor Caitlyn Byrne (Director, Griffith Asia Institute, Griffith University) Chen Chen Lee (Advisor (Diplomacy) to Asialink) Dr Huong Le Thu (Senior Analyst, The Australian Strategic Policy Institute) Dr Jeffrey Wilson (Policy Fellow, Perth USAsia Centre) Dr Bec Strating (Executive Director at La Trobe Asia)(Chair) Recorded on 7th July, 2021.

This episode is a special edition produced by Liquid Architecture and co presented by Contemporary Art Tasmania featuring interviews and audio from the recent instrument builders project as part of Mona Foma 2021 – a durational performance held at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, Launceston, Tasmania. Instrument Builders Project’s (IBP) avant-garde, transdisciplinary and socially engaged approach has, over its previous four iterations in Indonesia, Australia and Japan, generated many fruits for the artistic communities involved. In short IBP is where artists invent, build, present and perform using invented ‘instruments’ that mix traditional and contemporary forms including sound sculpture, installation, improvisation and performance through international residencies. Each IBP is configured differently, however pre-pandemic iterations have consistently worked with an intensive 3-week international residency model, whereby new and alumni IBP artists work in a collaborative setting, culminating in an in-situ performance/presentation. IBP5 is a partnership project presented by Contemporary Art Tasmania, Liquid Architecture and Volcanic Winds. Curated by Kristi Monfries, Joel Stern and Lisa Campbell-Smith, featuring artists Richie Cyngler, Julia Drouhin, Dylan Sheridan and Pip Stafford IBP5 is supported by Australia Japan Foundation, Asialink, Regional Arts Fund, Mona Foma and The School of Architecture & Design, UTAS With very special thanks to Mara Schwerdtfeger (sound producer) and Mish Szekelyhidi (documentation and audio.

In the GWH Summer Series, ACFID’s Bridi Rice takes you inside the Canberra foreign policy community to ask one key question: what does increased poverty mean for Australian international affairs?

Thrilled that the podcast is about to cross the 100,000 lifetime download threshold (thank you all!), Allan and Darren try something new this week – answering mailbag questions. Is the US a ‘failed state’, and would ‘strategic autonomy’ be realistic for Australia? Will the title of Allan’s book on Australian foreign policy, “Fear of abandonment”, be appropriate for the next 70 years of Australian foreign policy? Are there any lessons for Australia and the Indo-Pacific from the recent ‘Abraham Accords’ between Israel and the UAE/Bahrain? Is the Quad viable as an ‘Arc of Democracy’, and are there any major takeaways from the ministerial in Tokyo this past week? Allan and Darren have their strongest disagreement in assigning a grade to the Australian government’s China policy since 2017, and have an interesting discussion about what control any government can have over public discourse. Next, what will the DFAT of 2050 look like? And finishing with some ‘meta’ questions – is the podcast a useful vehicle to help discipline their thoughts, and has each changed the other’s mind? We thank AIIA intern Mitchell McIntosh for his help with research and audio editing and XC Chong for research support. Thanks as always to Rory Stenning for composing our theme music.

Seven of Australia’s top 10 trading partners are in Asia, with trading relations driven by a growing proportion of cross-border investment and people movement between Asian nations and Australia. The ability of all nations to turbocharge economic recovery post Covid-19 will depend on building trading and investment links between nations stronger than they have ever been before.  But, in the wake of increasing geo-political strain between super powers and intense competition for strategic advantage between nations, the fragility of links between seemingly strong partners has been exposed prompting the need to renew and refresh trading relationships. My guest today is Mukund Narayana Murti, CEO of AsiaLink Business, which has just released a landmark report on how Australia can respond to the challenges ahead and win in Asia. He is daring Australian business leaders, policymakers and investors to get coordinated and get active post pandemic and move into a new era of inter-regional trade. He says close Australia-Asia relations at a corporate level are just as critical as relations between Governments. What are the challenges ahead for Australia in Asia and what will it take to win?

Our environment’s changing so fast right now, this seems more important than ever … In these mini episodes we’ll feature the best from previous and future guests including brand new content. Plus, we’ll share ideas and great tools to try that we’ve put into action or experimented with ourselves. This week’s 'nugget' comes from investment banker Lindley Edwards who we had on the show about a year ago. Her episode was very popular and you could really tell from that, that Lindley is a deep thinker. Lindley runs a corporate advisory business called AFG Venture Group which specialises in cross-border investments and transactions, particularly between Asia & Australia. She’s also Chairperson for two startups and a Non-Executive Director of a Think Tank called AsiaLink.We love these insights from Lindley because:1) They seem so relevant now in these strange times of coronavirus and;2) Lindley shares some really helpful ways to think about the future… and that’s by building on the ideas and insights from the past;3) Plus, she talks about how to move forward and create change in new ways that will get traction and maybe even disrupt an industry. We hope you enjoy this first Future Proof Me episode… See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Indo-Pacific is both a place and an idea. It is the region central to global prosperity and security. It is also a metaphor for collective action. If diplomacy fails, it will be the theatre of the first general war since 1945. But if its future can be secured, the Indo-Pacific will flourish as a shared space, the centre of gravity in a connected world. Not only is the Indo-Pacific the area where the growing China-US rivalry seems to playing out, it is also home to a host of large and middle powers. These countries have a stake in that Great Power contest, but they also have ambitions and growing economies of their own. How can other countries respond to a strong and coercive China without resorting to capitulation or conflict? Professor Rory Medcalf (Head of the National Security College at the Australian National University) is in conversation with Dr Rebecca Strating (Executive Director, La Trobe Asia) at the Melbourne launch of his new book Contest for the Indo-Pacific: Why China Won't Map the Future published by La Trobe University Press. Introduced by Penny Burtt, CEO of Asialink. Recorded at the State Library of Victoria on 5th March 2020.

On this week’s episode, Allan and Darren kick things off with an in-depth discussion of Australian Prime Minister’s Scott Morrison's recent foreign policy speech, delivered a few days before his attendance at the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Osaka. Darren asks Allan to situate the speech in Morrison’s trajectory as Prime Minister, and to describe how speeches like this are prepared. The substance itself was especially fascinating, including China’s apparent new status as a “great and powerful friend”, Morrison’s argument that the post-war order has been an important protector of state sovereignty, and his claim that Australia retains agency to shape international affairs. The second item on the agenda is the results from the latest Lowy Institute poll of the Australian public’s attitudes towards foreign policy and international affairs. As the founding Executive Director of the Lowy Institute under whose leadership the poll was first developed, Allan outlines why he saw such a poll as being necessary and what we have learned from it over time. The latest results include generally positive sentiments towards the United States (excepting Donald Trump), but increasing scepticism towards China. Finally, the two finish with the seemingly gloomy outcomes of the G20 Leaders’ Summit, although Darren attempts to use game theory to try retain a glimmer of optimism. As always, we invite our listeners to email us at this address: australia.world.pod@gmail.com We welcome feedback, requests and suggestions. You can also contact Darren on twitter @limdarrenj Our thanks go to AIIA intern Charlie Henshall for his help with audio editing, Rory Stenning for composing our theme music, and Martyn Pearce for in-studio technical support this week.

Australia and India are at a key moment in their relationship. Both countries will have elections this year. India is poised to become the third largest economy in the world, and there are opportunities for both countries in broader co-operation in areas such as security and research. A report released by Australia’s Ministry for Trade, Tourism and Investment judged that no single market over the next 20 years will offer more growth opportunities for Australia than India. Despite much in common there are still cool reactions in some quarters. Resistance to investment from the Indian conglomerate, Adani Group, for the proposed Carmichael coal mine, in Queensland, is the latest episode in a history of faltering engagement. How can Australia and India develop closer ties to their mutual benefit? Panelists: Professor Ian Hall (International Relations, Griffith University) Dr Ruth Gamble (David Myers Research Fellow, La Trobe University) Mr Shabbir Wahid (Director at VFS Global Services) Moderator: Ms Ali Moore (Journalist and Vice-Chancellor's Fellow, The University of Melbourne) A La Trobe Asia event in partnership with Asialink. This event was held on the 19th March 2019 at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), Melbourne.

In 2018 Chinese tourists to Australia overtook New Zealand as Australia's largest outbound tourist market. On this episode we look at the massive influx of Chinese tourists who are making Australia their preferred holiday destination and evaluate how Australian firms are tailoring their tourism offering to meet the demands of its largest and growing market. Asialink Business Director Nick Henderson explains how and why a Chinese holiday maker decides to travel overseas and the process of planning for their holiday. We also discuss the particular needs of Chinese tourists, their spending power and the digital platforms, such as C Trip, Union Pay and WeChat, helping Australian firms connect with Chinese tourists.

with Gordon Stewart. Gordon Stewart from Asialink joins us to share some of the work they are doing and speak on Psalm 32:1-2.

In this episode, Andrew talks to David Schaefer about developments in space technology and how they are changing long-held assumptions about the military alliance between Australia and the United States. David Schaefer is currently a PhD Candidate at King's College London. When this episode was recorded in September 2017, David was based at the University of Melbourne, working for AsiaLink and Ormond College. We spoke about his research on how technological changes have impacted the US-Australian alliance in ways that haven't always been widely recognised in Australia's national security debates. We also spoke about how this potentially makes Australia's exposure to great-power conflict more complex and ambiguous than during the Cold War, particularly in the context of US-China rivalry and the prospect that any new conflict could open with cyber-attacks against information networks shared between Australia and the United States.

Please note, most of Gordon's message cannot be published online due to the nature of the work of AsiaLink. Please visit their website at asialink.org for more information.

Kate Shaw is a Melbourne-based artist who creates landscapes that are simultaneously sublime and toxic.  Formed out of ‘paint pours’ and collage techniques, her landscapes capture the transcendent beauty of nature.  She has had many solo and group exhibitions and currently her work is touring to museums throughout Asia as part of the Asialink curated exhibition Vertigo. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/kateshaw In this episode, Kate discusses: -How she got to the point she is at today in her artistic career. -The comfort and structure that a part-time job can provide while pursuing your creative passion on the side. -How nothing stifles creativity more than having to worry about necessities like food and shelter. -The power in finding a job that feeds into your creative passion. -The importance of relaxing the body and silencing the mind in order to get to homeostasis.  -Tapping into the creative energy of the universe so that you can more effectively communicate with people around the world. -Getting out into nature and unplugging from the daily demands of being a professional artist. -The surprise that many artists and creative people have as they discover that by becoming a professional artist, they are also becoming a small business. -The connection with nature in her art. -What people can do in their everyday lives to help climate change. -How she developed and invented her style. -The resistances that occur when you are inventing something new. -The strategy of putting something that you are struggling with aside until the next day. -How asking too many opinions of your work gives your creative power away. Kate's Final Push will inspire you to JUST DO IT! Quotes: “I find if the body is relaxed and the mind is relaxed, that’s when the creativity really opens up.” “I really believe in flow rather than push.” “It’s time and money.  That’s all we have in our lives is time.” “If I’ve been working on a painting for a long time and I don’t know what to do next, I just leave it and come back the next day.  There’s something about fresh eyes.” “You don’t want to be asking too many opinions because then you’re just giving all that away.  You, yourself, actually know the best.” “I think a lot of times people are just looking for reassurance because they are afraid.  But they actually know themselves if it’s good or not good.” Links mentioned: The Ethical Guide to the Anthropocene (The Guardian) Nestle and Deforestation (Greenpeace) Connect with Kate: Website / Facebook / Instagram

Leaders - and their businesses - who succeed in business in Asia will need to be 'Asia literate', have ‘deep experience’. How do you learn ‘Asia literacy’ and how do you best gain ‘deep experience’ that’s relevant to your business? In this month's Insight Edge, from the Australian institute of management we’re looking at international dimensions of leadership, with a focus on the world’s fastest growing market, Asia. How can leaders tailor their own skills and enable their organisations to take advantage of the Asian century, and what are some of the barriers? Today we talk to Megan Mulia, Director of Research and Education at Asialink Business. In 2014 Asialink business published the 11 critical capabilities for business success in Asia. What are they and how do Australian businesses stack up?
