Article improvement[edit]

This article needs info on Stephen Smith's work as foreign minister as it's the most significant part of his career. LibStar (talk) 05:24, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This "From 1990 to 1993 he was an adviser to Paul Keating, first as Treasurer, then as Prime Minister" does not make sense, as Smith has never been Treasurer nor Prime Minister. Cormersau (talk) 04:49, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that something be added on his recent remarks at Brookings: http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/events/2011/0727_asia_pacific/20110727_prepared_remarks.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.88.112.217 (talk) 04:13, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
