Australia, Diplomatic Neglect?

Reading Nick Bryant's blog on this topic I recall the massive and successful New Images (newIMAGES) project which ran throughout 1997, and involved about 200 events throughout Australia.

If I find some of the extensive evaluation reports of the project, I may blog on this topic again. There are still lessons to be learned. newIMAGES succeeded in changing and modernising mutual perceptions between Australia and the UK, but for how long, without adequate follow-up activity?

Update, 24 January: another good blog from Nick Bryant today, on Australian Identity. 

And another! 25 January.
