From the Lucky Country to Israel - Spring 2017 Salisbury Review

Here is my latest piece for the Salisbury Review: 

This past December I was fortunate to be a delegate at the Australia-Israel-UK Leadership Dialogue. The journey from the Lucky Country to Israel, while not as lengthy as the flight to London, reminded me of the endurance test of the latter. You can imagine my delight to hear Qantas’ recent announcement that from March 2018 they will have a non-stop flight from Perth to London. At 17.5 hours, it is still a long one in anybody’s terms, but it will mark an historical milestone: a new era of uninterrupted travel between the United Kingdom and Australia.
