 What would your ordinary day be like as ambassador in Kabul? Well, in some respects it's the sort of day that many office workers have here, but in other respects it's totally different and it depends on what the day will bring. So if there's a major security incident as happens from time to time, then my day is filled with trying to best respond to that and communicate what's happened back to Canberra crisply or it might involve travelling to one of the provinces that I did recently to Herat in the west of the country which is on the border with Iran and speaking to people there. Australia and Australians, you know, we take seriously our responsibility to support a country like Afghanistan and many other countries as well for security and to build stability and provide livelihoods and I think as well we don't forget that, you know, what happens in a place like Afghanistan can have direct implications for Australians at home and elsewhere and we know that many of, you know, the Jamiah, Islamiyah fighters that were responsible for the Bali bombings were trained in Afghanistan. My best day was, you know, probably my best day and also the most moving day in a way. Soon after I arrived I went to Tarencott, I got on a plane and flew down to Urazgan and arrived there and it was a hot and dusty and dry day but it was a day that was also filled for me with, you know, some emotion, thinking about the sacrifice and commitment and bravery of Australian Defence Force personnel. And Australia had a wonderful project of teaching girls to read in Tarencott. People still talk about what we did in Urazgan, you know, for young girls and for women. If you look at Afghanistan now and you think where will it be in, where might it be in 10 or 15 years then what we're doing, we, Australia and others, to provide educational opportunities is what is going to get them there in 15 years time. My worst day, Louise, I remember it very clearly, was the 31st of May and there was a very large explosion just really very close to the embassy. I was at work, I'd arrived, it was about eight o'clock, the building shook quite violently, it felt really more like an earthquake and then became apparent that it wasn't an earthquake, there was a loud boom and that was a bad day. So I fit, you know, very squarely in this sort of security area.
