Posting history

On 13 December 1970, the Australian high commissioner in Suva, Fiji, Robert Birch, was appointed as the non-resident accredited high commissioner to Western Samoa,[3] and accreditation was held by the high commissioners in Suva until September 1977. On 23 March 1977, during a visit of Samoan prime minister Tui Ātua Tupua Tamasese Efi to Australia, Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser announced the establishment of an Australian High Commission in Apia, with an acting high commissioner appointed on 20 September 1977 to hold office until the appointment of a resident high commissioner, which was achieved in October 1979.[4][5]
