An Introduction Message from Ambassador Caroline Kennedy

Caroline Kennedy is the 27th U.S. Ambassador to Australia.
Ambassador Kennedy served as U.S. Ambassador to Japan from 2013 - 2017. She played a critical role in the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, culminating in the historic visits of President Obama to Hiroshima and Prime Minister Abe to Pearl Harbor. She advanced realignment of the U.S. forces in Okinawa, promoted women’s empowerment in Japan, and increased student exchange. In 2017, she founded the International Poetry Exchange Project to connect students virtually in Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and the Bronx through the power of spoken word. In November 2021, she was awarded the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun, the highest honor for which foreigners are eligible, for her efforts to strengthen the U.S.-Japan alliance.
Prior to her time in Japan, Kennedy was at the forefront of education reform efforts in NYC, creating public-private partnerships to promote arts education, school libraries, and performing arts spaces. She served as CEO of the Office of Strategic Partnerships at the NYC Department of Education (2002-2004), Vice Chair for the Fund for Public Schools (2002-2011), and on the Board of New Visions for Public Schools.
An attorney and author, Kennedy has published 11 New York Times best-selling books on law, civics and poetry. She is Honorary President of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation. She served as a Trustee of numerous non-profit organizations, including the Carnegie Corporation, International Rescue Committee and NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, as Co-Chair of the Harvard Institute of Politics, and as a Director of the Boeing Company. She is a graduate of Harvard University and Columbia Law School.

Welcome to Australia Ambassador Kennedy, thank you for this lovely introduction. As a very proud Western Australian I do hope that you will at some point fly across the country to visit with us and allow us to show you our magnificent state. Please don't forget there is so much more to our great nation than just the east coast. I wish you every success in your new position.

[@margyduke1136]

Welcome to Australia and to Canberra! Its an honour to have you as our US Ambassador.

[@whitehousejayne]

It brings tears to my eyes to celebrate your ambassadorship and i look forward to your arrival. 🌟

[@terrydillon9323]

Love you Caroline, wish you the best. Thanks for all you have done for our country.

Welcome Ambassador Kennedy. I think I speak for many when I say we Aussies feel very privileged that your beautiful country has sent someone of your stature here as ambassador. The roots of our two democratic, freedom, peace loving countries are deep. Though we may 'drift apart' over time as the world evolves, no country can break the bonds we have formed together over time. There is no doubt our 2 nations are very much of the same mind and culture. Over the last 20 years or more I have often spoken to people in your country who love our country, as we do yours, and who have said they would fight for it if the need arose. As we have become more Aisa-ocentric US-Australian built motor vehicles have taken a side line to cheap asian imports. But it is those vehicles that are still admired, in demand, and highly valued here above all else. Don't let us become another Cuba. Sail your ships into Sydney Harbour & fly your flag high. And do the same alongside our ships as we patrol our coast. United we are a force that no country would try to undermine.

still so sad how she lost her Dad, but I think she'll be an excellent ambassador to Australia

[@patriciaschuster1371]

We all lost family in our life. Her brother was an arrogant man who took an innocent person down with him.

Just love Carolyn Kennedy. How lucky are we to have her here. Her father JFK was for me a great role model. Good luck Carolyn 🏆🌺👍🇦🇺

[@JoeMicalizziMPC]

What part did you admire about JFK's philandering ways? Was it his affair with MM???

[@joseluiszavaletaguzman8218]

Greetings for U.S. Ambassador in Australia Mrs. Caroline Kennedy: Respectfully, CONGRATULATIONS. I have a question for You: Could You please interposes your good Offices to ask PM of Australia Mr. Antony Albanese for opening opportunities to legally migrate to go working and studying in Australia to Salvadorans? Because there are no formal Jobs for older people over forty years old in El Salvador and my dream is to get married and live in Australia. Regards. Before hand, thank you U.S Ambassador in Australia Mrs. Caroline Kennedy. With love José Luis Z. from El Salvador. Have a Nice day.

[@ClivePotts-ns5hd]

Dear Ambassador Kennedy, I am sorry for being so rude and blunt. However, I do really feel that you have to do something for the Americans in Australia.

Congratulations to Carolina Kennedy and will become president of 🇺🇸.

[@abrakadabrah3031]

As a very ypung girl I wanted to be Caroline... What has she accomplished..butt...is just the daughter of JFK... So she gets strategically appointed by biden to be an ambassador to Australia.... example of one hand helping another. Her son is playing with horses...as the wealthy must... Too bad...we can't separate reality from what it's supposed to be. Just because you're related to a famous person... shouldn't necessarily anount you with privelege. Australia....safe place to be e ambassador Great money, status...like being on a long luxury cruise. Her mother was smart...remarried to a billionaire tycoon... These people know how to get money and elevate their ego.

[@noellarash367]

What happened to her “Loser” son?

[@tommyboy1435]

She’s sweet but she looks so old she’s 64 but looks 70 😮

[@mr.k1503]

Would you say this about a man?---a mix of ageism and sexism I detect.

[@tommyboy1435]

@@mr.k1503 yes I have plenty of times infact more then i have with women cause most look great in there 60s but reality is caroline does look older then she is but she’s sweet!

[@cryptomonkey6142]

An extremely rude and impolite comment, why would think it's OK to say this? Besides that anyone's appearance is completely irrelevant.

[@tommyboy1435]

@@cryptomonkey6142 I said it cause it’s true geez Karen ummm I never said she has bad looks I said she looks older then she is and In life appearance is everything if you didn’t know this then you have a lot to learn

[@kdtennis1]

She is very rich! She was never as vain as her mom ( trendsetter Jackie O) or even her aunt ( Lee Radziwill). Caroline was always more of a tomboy! She never cared about clothes or beauty ( she could care less)!

[@josef7525]

JFK raised her good.

[@mitchyoung93]

LOL...so that's where they stuck her.

[@tishkerrville8942]

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@ShannonFreng]

Just another highly paid sinecure, little different from senatorial appointments, here in Canada.

[@marywest6844]

Who are you kidding lady?

[@lynndaniels4135]

For Kennedy she's not very smart is she. I can't believe that she supports Biden and the Green New deal!
