“Pale, male, and stale” has been a consistent lament when looking at the roll call of ambassadors from most Western nations. There have been frequent calls to include more women, more people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and Indigenous communities, and to avoid plum diplomatic postings becoming havens or rewards for retired politicians.
Building on its long line of work assessing Australia’s diplomatic network, Lowy Institute researchers have now tracked the course of key diplomatic appointments made by the Australian government since 1974 in the Lowy Institute Diplomat Database. Sourcing data from departmental documents, foreign ministers’ archives and other government and secondary sources, this newly compiled map incorporates 4937 data points, identifying all head-of-mission appointments made over the past 47 years. (The conventions for counting diplomats follow the methodology applied in the Institute’s Global Diplomacy Index.)

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - St. Josephâs/Candler started vaccinating their patients in phase 1A+ last week.
They did 920 shots last week, another 500 Friday, and have an additional 1,000 vaccine appointments next week for those over 70 years old.
We all know how high the demand has been for vaccination appointments. Well, St. Josephâs/Candler has been reaching out to their patients to get vaccines into arms.
âIt was easy, no problem,â said patient Charcy Bonner.
