Alison Broinowski AM

Our special guest this week, Alison Broinowski, has initials after her name. Is that a first for the little radio show?.. Alison, who turned 80 years young recently, has lived a rather marvellous life travelling the world with her husband as part of the Department of Foreign Affairs, at a time when women were few and far between, and has lived and learned in countries as diverse as Myanmar, Iran, Philipines and Korea. Alison knows her stuff when it comes to Australia's relationship with Asia and has led a full life as a diplomat, writer, lecturer and journalist, to list a few of her capabilities. Alison grew up in Adelaide and is now the president of Australians for War Powers Reform. We thank Alison for being the first cab off the rank this year. Thank-you for your time, Alison.warpowersreform.org.au
