Shouldn’t it be people like ex sec-state Hillary Clinton (D) or Condolezza Rice ®?

In Australia, it’s usually ex-ministers that are given ambassador roles - people who already know the ins and outs of Australian government, have served the Australian government and probably have networks overseas they can call favours from to assist/better the nation.
