Jane and UK Independent (i-News) journalist Max Meltzer discussed the imminent, surprise visit to Moscow and Kyiv by President Trump’s envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. A permanent ceasefire or peace agreement could prove elusive.

Jane’s explainer article was published by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) in ‘The Strategist’. Jane argues that the world has entered an unstable new era where safeguards on the deployment of nuclear weapons no longer apply.

The Independent UK’s online news journalist Max Meltzer quoted Jane in his comprehensive article about President Trump’s call to scale back a major US-South Korea military exercise underway on the Korean Peninsula.

Jane participated in an in-depth study to develop closer cooperation between the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and the NATO partners, the Indo-Pacific 4 - Australia, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand.

Philippines journalist Michaela Del Callar quoted Jane in her article previewing the ASEAN foreign ministers’ meetings getting underway in Manila. Top ASEAN agenda items, the Myanmar civil war and halting return to democracy, and the South China Sea, are unlikely to resolve quickly. But all the ASEAN Dialogue Partners including the US, Russia, India and Australia are expected to converge on Manila.

Adrian Zorzut from NEWS.COM.AU discussed with Jane the daily tit-for-tat hostilities playing out between the US and Iran, potential effects for all trading nations and particularly for Australia.

As US and Iran hostilities broke out again in the Strait of Hormuz and the region, Jane and news.com.au reporter Adrian discussed a range of immediate and likely future impacts on Australia.

Nearly a decade since the UN treaty whose signatories declare that nuclear weapons should be banned (the 2017 TPNW) and Australia’s Government has not signed on. Why? This seems a motherhood position. Jane discussed the issues relating to the TPNW and the largest and oldest treaty to control nukes, the UN Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (1970 NPT), with Kyle Evans from ABC online news.

Jane was interviewed by news.com.au’s Adrian Zorzut. Since the US and Iran signed a ceasefire MOU on 17 June, negotiations have been stop-start and once again hostilities and the price of crude oil are spiking.

Jane spoke with NEWS.COM.AU reporter Adrian Zorzut about options for diplomatic practice when bilateral tensions arise. Adrian’s article describes a range of responses to comments made by the People’s Republic of China Ambassador, in Canberra.

In an interview with Russian media outlet TASS, Jane canvassed the immediate and potential long-term effects of the US-Iran ceasefire memorandum of understanding, including on nuclear weapons ambitions around the world.

Jane’s wide ranging conversation with The Diplomat’s Grant Wyeth explored the US-Iran conflict’s wider impact.

Jane spoke with PIVOT, the flagship publication of the Monash International Affairs Society, exploring her three-decade long career within diplomacy and DFAT.

Writing for the Daily Straits, Jane examines why Australia's foreign aid program is a strategic investment rather than a simple outflow of capital.
