Jean Trémoulet, the Unloved Consul-General, MARGARET BARRETT "... Roger Loubère, the chancellor of Sydney’s French consulate-general in 1940, had just four good words to say of its head of mission, consul-general Trémoulet. He was ‘exceedingly intelligent’ and ‘deeply cultured’.
For the rest, Loubère portrays the Vichy consul-general as a man who, abusing his gifts, abrogated his duty both to the citizens he served and to France itself...
....
Loubère himself was well known among Sydney’s French residents, and after five years with the Free French air force became the first post-war consul to be appointed to the newly reopened French consulate in Melbourne. His tenure lasted from 1945 to 1951. Reports of his activities published in the Melbourne Argus attest to his popularity and lively participation in Victorian society."
