Ian Kemish in conversation at Muse

Join Ian Kemish at Muse bookstore, Canberra, for an in-conversation event as he discusses his new book The Consul.

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 negotiating the release of Australians unjustly detained abroad.
