Choose your way through this task of advising your minister on her upcoming speech about Australia’s food security.
Imagine that you are an APS Level 6 officer directed to write speech notes for your minister. She has agreed to deliver the keynote address at an upcoming international conference on food security, hosted by the Royal Societies of Australia.
You don’t have time to do much original research, so you must rely on contacts and your opposite numbers in other departments. You also scan the newspapers, knowing that the minister is likely to frame her remarks within the headlines of the week.
