This beach, Tufutafoe, is a sacred place in the Samoan culture, it is the pathway to the Fafa o Sauali’i – the gathering place of the Samoan spirits, the entry point to Pulotu, the spirit world. My final piece for The Guardian Pacific Project. 😔😢 theguardian.com/world/2022/n…

The climate crisis threatens to rob us not just of our living, but also of our dead | Lagipoiva...

As Pacific nations face the prospect of losing entire islands, the thought of leaving behind the bones of our ancestors is unbearable

Great to talk with @lagipoiva for this piece on Vanuatu's ambitious new climate plan. Australia should strengthen its own shift away from fossil fuels and provide new finance to help Vanuatu implement its plan. theguardian.com/world/2022/a…

More good analysis of the Pacific Islands Forum. As @MsKateLyons explains, behind the smiles remain tough questions and unresolved issues - such as Australia's growing fossil fuel exports and China's pursuit of new security arrangements. To be continued.. theguardian.com/world/2022/j…

Smiles and unity at the Pacific Islands Forum mask tough questions shelved for another day

While leaders presented a picture of harmony, more vexing topics like Australia’s fossil fuel ambitions and China were kicked down the road

Great get from my colleague @LiceMovono who has managed to finally get an interview with Manasseh Sogavare (who has repeatedly turned down interview requests from the ABC) for the Guardian. He says SI will only call on China if there is a security "gap" theguardian.com/world/2022/j…

Solomon Islands PM rules out China military base and says Australia is ‘security partner of choice’

Exclusive: In his first interview since the security deal with Beijing, Manasseh Sogavare says he would only call on China if there was a ‘gap’ that Australia could not fill
