1. He's the foreign Minister of the Australian Government. A Minister of Foreign Affairs, or foreign minister, is a cabinet minister who helps form the foreign policy of a sovereign state. The foreign minister is often regarded as the most senior ministerial position below that of the head of government (prime minister or president). It is often granted to the deputy prime minister in coalition governments. A foreign minister's powers can vary from government to government. In a classic parliamentary system, a foreign minister can potentially exert significant influence in forming foreign policy but when the government is dominated by a strong prime minister the foreign minister may be limited to playing a more marginal or subsidiary role in determining policy.
2. That North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile programs are a direct threat to Australia.
3. ASEAN Regional Forum
4. having torpedoed a South Korean naval frigate, shelled civilians’ homes across the border and defied two UN
Security Council resolutions by pursuing an enriched uranium weapons program.
5. “If it’s a long-range missile which is developed over time ... then of course it represents a threat to Australia.” The threat of being bombed by long range missiles.
6. To make the issue public and to let others know of that threat, so it would be unlikely for North Korea to engage Australia with nuclear warfare. Australia's involvement in that region has been against the North Koreans, for example the Korean War, where Australian troops engaged the Northern forces, fighting along side the South Korean's.
7. Because since Australia is closely allied with America and America doesnt have the best relationship towards the North Koreans so naturally by siding with the Americans, Australia has now also become a target to the North Koreans.
