CONFIRMATION OF US AMBASSADOR TO AUSTRALIA
THE HON TANYA PLIBERSEK MP
Labor welcomes the confirmation of Arthur B. Culvahouse Junior as US ambassador to Australia.
 
America is one of Australia’s closest friends and staunchest allies. This relationship has been one of the central pillars of Australian foreign policy since the end of the Second World War and will remain so into the future.
 
Labor looks forward to continuing to work closely with the US to advance bilateral ties and our mutual interest in peace and stability in our region.
 
Labor also pays tribute to Chargé d'affaires James Carouso who has been acting in the role since the departure of Ambassador John Berry in September 2016.
 
Mr Carouso has been a great friend to Australia and wonderful advocate for his country and we thank him for his magnificent service to Australia-US relations, and wish him all the best for the future.
