After Samoa’s Prime Minister blacklists the Samoa Observer and refuses to answer questions from its journalists, the newspaper publishes a feisty editorial, refusing to take a backwards step in its reporting.

Hosting next week’s Pacific Islands Forum, the Solomon Islands government decided to restrict the annual summit just to Forum members, without the usual 21 Dialogue Partners (USA, China, EU, France, Italy, Turkey, Thailand etc etc etc). THREAD

I was honoured to sit at the table on behalf of the Norfolk Island 🇳🇫 people with esteemed leaders of Pacific culture during the 42nd CPAC meeting in Noumea
The 42nd CPAC convened today at SPC Headquarters in Noumea, beginning with a Customary Welcome Ceremony attended by the President of New Caledonia, H.E. Alcide Ponga, alongside traditional leaders and several Pacific Ministers of Culture attending in person.

Today, Australia’s 39 universities endorsed a dangerous and politicised definition of antisemitism which threatens academic freedom, will have a chilling effect on legitimate criticism of Israel, and risks institutionalising anti-Palestinian racism. They did so without meaningful consultation with Palestinian groups or diverse Jewish groups who are critical of Israel. The Jewish Council of Australia strongly opposes the antisemitism definition developed by the Group of Eight (Go8) universities and adopted by Universities Australia. By categorising Palestinian political expression as inherently antisemitic, it will be unworkable and unenforceable, and stifle critical political debate, which is at the heart of any democratic society. The definition dangerously conflates Jewish identities with support for the state of Israel and the political ideology of Zionism. Read our full response at jewishcouncil.com.au

This is awesome from Gael Monfils: Q: Do you think you can win the tournament? Monfils: 'Win? No... To be honest with you, it's not even a dream. My dream is to be old, with a lot of kids, and healthy. That's your dream, I guess, [for me] to win a Slam'

As Donald Trump prepares to enter the White House, it’s worth reading reports from conservative US think tanks, with ideas for a Trump 2.0 agenda to counter China in the Pacific Islands. Many openly argue for the prioritisation of US interests over Pacific island concerns. THREAD

No filmmaker, writer or artist should ever have to tell the story of their own extermination. Yet 22 courageous Palestinian filmmakers found a way to film their story this past year in Gaza using whatever tools they could pull from the rubble of their homes and cities. The extraordinary film FROM GROUND ZERO — for which I am proud to be an Executive Producer — is the collection of these short films, told all together in under 2 hours. The fact that this film exists at all is a human and cinematic miracle. Go see FROM GROUND ZERO — in theaters now!

Yesterday, the Solomon Islands addressed the #ICJ, speaking for those hit hardest by the climate crisis despite contributing the least. Hear from Mirriam Baega, a Solomon Islands student at @UniSouthPacific, birthplace of the #ClimateICJAO campaign. #ClimateJusticeAtTheICJ
