So who is representing Australia at the Pope’s funeral?

The Governor-General, Sam Mostyn, was on her way to Türkiye for Anzac Day commemorations, but is considered to be “an appropriate representative”.

Former LNP MP Keith Pitt, who is the new ambassador to the Holy See, hasn’t been able to present his credentials to the Vatican because of the Pope’s illness, but he is helping with logistics.

Details are still being finalised by DFAT.
