American Embassy is the American embassy in Australia. The embassy is considered American soil.
History[edit]
During the diplomatic dispute caused by Bart Simpson's prank calls to Australia, the American Embassy in Australia served as the Simpson family's protected residence while negotiations with Australian authorities took place. Embassy officials, including Ambassador Averell Ward and State Department representative Evan Conover, coordinated Bart's planned public apology and repeatedly reminded the family that the embassy grounds were legally considered American soil. After tensions escalated following Bart's refusal to accept punishment from Australian officials, the family fled back to the embassy, where U.S. personnel sealed the gates and later evacuated them by helicopter as an angry crowd gathered outside.
