La Embajada de Australia en 1601 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC

El Embajador de Australia a los Estados Unidos es un oficial de la australiana Departamento de Asuntos Exteriores y Comercio y el director de la Embajada de Australia en el Estados Unidos de América en Washington, DC . Es el tercer puesto de embajador más antiguo de Australia, después de las Altas Comisiones en Londres (1910) y Ottawa (1939). El cargo tiene el rango y el estatus de Embajador Extraordinario y Plenipotenciario y actualmente es Arthur Sinodinos , quien ocupa el cargo desde el 7 de febrero de 2020. ^[1] El trabajo del embajador es asistido por múltiples consulados en todo el país que tienen responsabilidades de visita y presentación de informes, así como asuntos consulares y comerciales para la embajada.

El 26 de mayo de 2019, el primer ministro Scott Morrison anunció, junto con las nuevas nominaciones al gabinete, que recomendaría al senador por Nueva Gales del Sur Arthur Sinodinos para reemplazar a Joe Hockey como embajador en los Estados Unidos cuando el mandato de Hockey finalice a principios de 2020. ^{[2] [3 ]} Sinodinos reemplazó a Hockey en febrero de 2020. ^[4]

Historial de publicaciones

Estados Unidos y Australia han tenido relaciones diplomáticas oficiales desde el 1 de marzo de 1940, cuando Australia estableció una legación en Washington como uno de sus primeros puestos independientes. Antes de eso, Australia había estado representada por la Embajada Británica en Washington , ya sea a través de un representante del gobierno australiano o simplemente por funcionarios británicos en nombre de Australia. Durante 1929, el Primer Ministro Stanley Bruce nombró a Herbert Brookes como "Comisionado General de los Estados Unidos", con el mandato de promover "los logros australianos en los campos económico, musical, artístico, literario e intelectual". Sin embargo, Brookes fue llamado al mercado al año siguiente por James Scullin.(Sucesor de Bruce), como medida de ahorro durante la Depresión. ^{[5] [6]} Durante 1937, Joseph Lyons (sucesor de Scullin) nombró a Keith Officer como oficial de enlace destinado en la Embajada Británica , con el rango diplomático de "Consejero". El oficial continuó en el trabajo hasta febrero de 1940, cuando se convirtió en el encargado de Negocios , a la espera de la llegada de Casey como primer ministro. ^{[7] [8]}

Establecida por primera vez como una legación dirigida por un enviado extraordinario y ministro plenipotenciario , el 19 de julio de 1946 el representante diplomático fue ascendido a embajada y el ministro australiano, Frederic Eggleston, se convirtió en el primer embajador. El trabajo se considera muy deseable y los nombramientos políticos se publican con regularidad. Varios australianos distinguidos se han desempeñado como embajadores en los Estados Unidos, incluido un futuro gobernador general de Australia ( Richard Casey ), un futuro presidente del Tribunal Supremo de Australia (Sir Owen Dixon ), un futuro gobernador de Tasmania ( James Plimsoll ), dos exlíderes de la oposición ( Andrew Peacock y Kim Beazley ), y ex Tesorero de Australia ( Joe Hockey ). ^[9]

After its closure, the consulate's reporting responsibilities for the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina were transferred to the Australian Embassy in Washington.^[15] From 12 September 1994 to his death on 11 June 2017, there existed an Honorary Consulate in Denver, Colorado, held by Mark O'Regan, an Australian-born Denver realtor and former civil servant in the Territory of Papua New Guinea.^[16] From 7 December 1999 to his death on 6 November 2013, the Honorary Consul in Miami, Florida, was Thomas Flynn.^[17] Flynn was appointed as an Honorary Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for his service as honorary consul in 2005.^[18]
