An absorbing insider' s account of leadership and service within Australia' s Consular service, through tumultuous events including the September 11 attacks, the Bali bombings and the Boxing Day Tsunami. As head of Australia' s consular service, Ian Kemish played a central role in the nation' s response to some of the most dramatic events of the early twenty-first century, including the September 11 attacks and the Bali bombings. He led the small band of Australian consuls as they confronted the new challenges of global jihadism, supporting families who lost loved ones, and negotiated the release of Australians unjustly detained abroad. In The Consul, Kemish offers a unique and personal perspective on Australia' s foreign affairs challenges of the last two decades, from hostage diplomacy to the political sensitivities of repatriating Australians abroad. This timely and engaging book also asks us to consider how world events have changed the way we travel now and in the future.
Ian Kemish AM served as Australian High Commissioner to Papua New Guinea, Ambassador to Germany, international adviser to the Prime Minister, and Head of the consular service in a diplomatic career that spanned 25 years. He was awarded membership of the Order of Australia for his leadership of Australia' s response to the 2002 Bali bombings. Ian moved to the private sector in 2013, and until recently was Chief Sustainability Officer with Newcrest, where he reformed the company' s management of its social, environmental and stakeholder responsibilities. He is an adjunct Professor in history at the University of Queensland, a non-resident fellow with the Lowy Institute and a New Colombo Plan business champion.
