What title does Kevin Rudd have in the Australian Government? Explain what this role entails
Foreign Affairs Minister, the highest on the rank.
What is Kevin Rudd concerns?
Kevin Rudd's concerns are that he accused North Korean's nuclear weapons and missile programs are direct threat to Australia, the US, South Korea and Japan are blamed for provoking the current dangerous instability on the Korean Peninsula.
What forum was he at to express his concerns?
ASEAN Regional Forum
What actions have North Korea performed recently which have Rudd alarmed and the region lacking stability?
North Korea has been working for about a decade on its Tapodong-2 long range missile, with a reported design range of 15,000 km, torpedoes sunk Korean naval ship and civilians on the island. 
What is a 'direct threat' to Australia according to Rudd?
The 'direct threat to Australia according to Rudd is the development of the long range missiles that propose danger to the security of our nation, and Rudd would take leaderships and be participating on UN. And they can make lots of allies which is good for strong economy and technology.
What do you think that Rudd is trying to accomplish diplomatically by calling out his North Korean counterpart publicy? How does this relate to Australia's relationship and role in the region?
However a fired-up Mr Rudd said Mr Pak and his colleagues needed to re-engage with reality if their renewed discussions with the outside world were to bear any fruit. This relates to the relationship of Australia and the countries of the region because in the eyes of other nations Australia will be seen as a leader and many countries will have a positive perception of what Australia is doing, promoting the relationship with it's neighbors.
How does this relate to Australia's relationship to major allies?
This relates to Australia's relationships to major allies because in doing this Australia will demonstrates its loyalty and promotes its status with other allies.
