Description:

On a diplomatic visit to London last week, Foreign Minister Penny Wong told  her counterparts that Britain needed to be mindful of its colonial legacy if it wanted to be relevant in the Indo-Pacific.

Malaysian-born Wong invoked her own family to illustrate the imperial role Britain has played in history. The foreign minister’s comments raised eyebrows, but also underscored the changing view of Australia’s role in the region.
