From Michael on Too little, too late? Securing PNG’s 2022 national election
Just how will the state enforce the new anti-gun law in tribal warfares in the highlands? Guns have been illegal for a long time but it hasn’t stopped warlords accessing it. Police:citizen ratio in PNG is one of the lowest in the world. There’s a need for increased police recruitment, training and equipping.
From Jeremie on The Solomons security shambles, and what it says about us
Excellent piece Terrence.
I particularly like your opinion on fostering respectful relationships between Pacific Island nations and larger nations. Such pathway may enable island nations to grow economically towards a better future whilst addressing challenges such as population growth and increased adverse climatic conditions.

Sad to hear of his untimely passing. As an amateur, he kindly published two of my stories relating to diabetic eye disease in Fiji. A gifted writer and an honoured friend.
From Gusman on Australia at risk of introducing a racist regional visa policy
Racist? That for sure ,if Australia offer Asian countries the same jobs as Pacific and Timor-Leste, why do they name the visa differently, why do they bother themselves creating a new visa with a lot of controversies and arguments among themselves.
If they use the same visa's name I believe Ag visa's worker had arrived in Australia since last year.
