Richard Broinowski

Richard Broinowski was a senior Australian diplomat who served in Japan, Myanmar, Iran, and the Philippines before becoming ambassador to Vietnam, the Republic of Korea, and Mexico. He was general manager of Radio Australia in the early 1990s, and on his retirement in 1997 became an adjunct professor, first at the University of Canberra, and then at the University of Sydney. In 2006, he initiated a program to send many student journalists in Australia to work in the newsroom of English-language newspapers throughout Asia.

Since his retirement, Richard has published six books, two of which are on nuclear matters: two editions of Fact or Fission? (Scribe 2003 and 2022), and Fallout from Fukushima (Scribe 2012). He was president of the NSW chapter of the Australian Institute of International Affairs from 2015 to 2018.

Richard became an Officer in the Order of Australia in the June 2019 honours list. He lives with his wife, Dr Alison Broinowski AM, in Sydney.
