I didn't notice anyone else talking about this, so I thought I'd post it. It seems he speaks a little less RW sounding when he's over there..or maybe that's just my take on it.

He's over there talking about security and alliances. The Australian Defense Minister announced that they will boost their presence in Afghanistan. It's a training role involving some 300 personnel.
