Great to see visa-free travel for Pacific Islanders gaining traction. It’s about time our so-called allies stopped with 3rd-class treatment for ordinary islanders while rolling out the red carpet for politicians because they can offer something in return: https://t.co/ECcf5SGwQX

As COP30 opens in Brazil the Pacific’s message is clear. It needs US$1bn a year to protect schools, health centres, infrastructure. As @sprasadfj warns, the world is heading for 3°C warming—a death sentence for reefs, food security & livelihoods. https://t.co/fADSr1gU2e

As Pacific's leaders and civil society prepare for the United Nations Climate Conference in Brazil (COP30), they also need to keep a line of sight to the subsequent COP31.

Always a pleasure catching up with Jay Caldwell, completing his PhD at the Australian National University on “Pacific Islands Universities and Security.” Pacific universities’ and academics’ work impact on security and it’s insightful to learn about Jay’s progress.

Exciting program in Suva with Indian vs. local boxers. I spot Indian the High Commissioner in the lineup, looking ‘ready to rumble’. Relax, he’s not fighting, just posing for a photo op. But with that stance, he’s a real heavyweight of Indian diplomacy! https://t.co/ldAmrHjRRJ

Proof that Australian conmen are as good those from any other country—gold standard😅. A plot for another blockbuster like ‘Wolf of Wall Street’. Fiji Audio Visual Commission, where are you? We didn’t pay you $68M in 2021–22, plus more since, for nothing! https://t.co/PmJ9JUBXvL

Fiji Football makes the international (NZ) news. But for all the wrong reasons:
rnz.co.nz
A former football administrator is calling for major reforms, accusing "a small clique of long-tenured officials" for keeping Fiji football "locked in a permanent slump".

Powerful dive into the Fiji Football’s systemic failures by Nilesh Lal. As a former @fijitimes sports editor, the article strikes a chord with me. It exposes a mafia-style operation serving the few — opaque & undemocratic. Can something be done? Or will this abomination continue?

Honoured to moderate the media session at National Scams Awareness Week 2025, opened by DPM Manoa Kamikamica — with Rosi Doviverata, @sun_fiji and Vijay Narayan, @fijivillage. Scams keep evolving, but the media remains a vital frontline defender. #ScamFreeFiji #Media #Journalism

Legislation isn’t enough to tackle online harm in Fiji & the Pacific. We need early education, national awareness & strong media partnerships. Shared this with fellow #USPJournalism alumni Stanley Simpson & Stella Taoi at the Cyber Crime & Online Safety workshop. #PacificMedia

Barred from a media conference on their own soil! As I told PacificBeat it’s unbecoming of Australia. An apology or explanation in order: You can’t preach openness & practice exclusion. It reeks of elitism & hypocrisy. Not only un-Australian but un-Vuvale

The good news is the former President is still alive—and probably kicking. Reports of his demise were clearly exaggerated, and someone somewhere is having a good laugh at fooling half the country. https://t.co/EdHZHXbxui
