Which English-speaking country has uniforms that look like that? That looks Russian or Spanish or something.
Australia
Australian Army, like the other comment said. The shoulder insignia look to be a LTGEN if I count the pixels right; seems to be a crown and crossed sword and baton on her shoulder.
Compare: https://www.army.gov.au/about-us/ranks
Edit: Found her: Lieutenant General Michelle Irene McGuinness, CSC, promoted to lieutenant general and appointed National Cyber Security Coordinator in February 2024.
She was cited in an article about the incident: https://dailysecurityreview.com/news/medisecure-data-breach-update/
NGL, kinda proud I figured out the rank before I thought of looking for news articles.
Well done, good sleuthing.
It's the red patch on the lapel that looks really out of place for what I'd expect of a British-derived uniform.
This is the kind of uniform I was thinking of
Some searching leads me to think these are called "gorget patches", but I'm not sure of all the details.
Gorget Patches sure seems to fit
It's a cap from an Australian news channel (you can see the Parliament house in the background). Looks like an air force uniform but not an expert.
Australian Army dress uniform with gorget since they are high ranking
