China and Australia re-affirmed their support for a comprehensive strategic partnership this week, so are we strategic partners with China or strategic competitors? Penny Wong responds on #Insiders #auspol

Mobility is good. It’s a choice that every individual has the right to make, with or without climate change. But when Australia turns mobility into a geopolitical weapon & calls it climate justice, it’s ugly! Thank you Taukiei Kitara for this excellent piece. toda.org/global-outlook…

Today marks the 34th anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and also the first time in history that Kiribati’s 🇰🇮 most iconic building on the island - Te Maneaba ni Maungatabu, is lit-up in blue as a symbol of support for #WorldChildrensDay 💙

Tears flowed and a lengthy rousing ovation during final plenary just now for AOSIS Chair #AnneRasmussen, as she delivered an emotional response filled with unsparing observations about the final outcomes from #COP28UAE

Heartiest congratulations to HE Dr Dr Hilda Heine on her election as President of the Republic of Marshall Islands. As the Founding Chair of PEV, she demonstrated her unique leadership qualities which is much needed, not just for RMI but for the entire region. Best wishes.

The real #FlyingFijian is OtterCapt 🇫🇯🇰🇮 She’s traversed our vast ocean continent, bridged the divide & connected our islands & peoples. On one of my island hops doing research in mobility, I captured her at work. Ko rabwa DiSa n am beku. Tekeraoi, Kalougata tiko 🙏 #Kiribati

Only the Australian media could go from labelling what happened in Bondi as an Islamic terrorist attack, then upon seeing the murderer is white, change their tune and interview the killer's clearly distressed father saying his son killed women because he 'wanted a girlfriend.'

Prime ministers James Marape and Anthony Albanese “strolling” along Kokoda Trail. The other picture is me “walking” the Kokoda Trail 😂 for the second time. The Kokoda Trail is a 96km beast.

Kiribati Chief Justice should accept the decision. This issue has persisted for many years, undermining the judiciary’s integrity. Unlike PNG’s CJ sedition experience or Nauru, having a spouse as the Opposition Leader places the CJ in an untenable position in Pacific context.
