1. Kevin Rudd has the title of "Foreign Minister". This role involves the conduction and supervision of foreign and diplomatic relations with other states.
2. Kevin Rudd's main concern is that Australia, and Northern Territory in particular, may be under threat of nuclear attack form North Korea
3. He was at the ASEAN regional forum
4. North Korea recently 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. The direct threat to Australia is with the long range missile that North Korea have been working on for over a decade
6. I think that Rudd is trying to warn and gain the companionship of other countries also possibly under threat. Australia is in a very strong position in the region and is acting almost as a leader.
7. This relates to Australia's major allies because they are also strongly against the use of nuclear weapons by North Korea
