@GordonConochie's A Tiger Rules the Mountain makes for some tough reading, even after 5yrs in #Cambodia, the brutality that occurred decades after the Khmer Rouge is just galling. You only have to Google Veng Sreng Boulevard to understand the impact this massacre had.

@SvaTom2003 @colin_meyn @MonashPub It's understandable to be despondent about democracy in Cambodia, but we should talk about those still striving to make change. They have not given up their pursuit

A Tiger is coming...as an audio book. Soon you'll be able to listen to A Tiger Rules the Mountain - Cambodia's Pursuit of Democracy on Audible & iTunes. I'm the narrator - cheap labour - so you'll get to hear Cambodian politics in a soft Scottish accent @MonashPub

Believe Pesutto & Walsh confirmed in a meeting w/ VACCHO that they wouldn't support a treaty. Will they stoke anti-Treaty sentiment, & abuse that Aboriginal people will get with it, just to gain a few votes?
VACCHO@VACCHO_org

Treaty is key to closing the gap. Today, on Close the Gap Day, we urge the Coalition to reverse their decision and return to supporting Treaty just like they said they would in 2022. #CloseTheGap #Treaty #Coalition #NationalClosetheGapDay #VACCHO #AboriginalHealth

@LowrieJohn @suecoffey21 It's a fair point John, the curtailment of NGOs and also of trade union activity are further knocks to the pillars of democracy

@suecoffey21 Yes but one omission to be added here: ● NGOs and community activists severely curtailed, intimidated or infiltrated. - @GordonConochie #Cambodia x.com/LowrieJohn/sta…

@DanielleRose84 @soriththeavy @MechDara1 2/ They are remarkably slow to respond to blatant events around them as independent #CivilSociety has been infiltrated and taken over by ruling party allied interests. So the money to go to original purposes and beneficiaries ends up in opposite direction. #more" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">anorthumbrianabroad.blogspot.com/2021/04/exaspe…

Cambodia's new PM will visit Australia for ASEAN talking reform. Back home, human rights worker flees to avoid jail. & PM's father becomes Senate President so family rule. Gareth Evans, ex-Aus FM & I ask how Australia should respond @MonashPub @ConversationEDU @latrobe @ANUmedia
Justin Bergman@justindbergman

Cambodia's new leader, Hun Manet, will continue his global charm offensive in Australia next week. Foreign Minister Gareth Evans and @GordonConochie argue Australia should use its leverage to push for good governance and real reform. @ConversationEDU theconversation.com/cambodias-new-…

British govt pays Drax £6bn to log old growth forests in Canada because UK's Drax power station is counted as carbon neutral because it uses wood pellets. Even though it emits 12 million tonnes of carbon p/a. Scandalous. bbc.com/news/science-e…

@ryeartemis @sstrangio @quinnlibson It can even be tough for Cambodians as some given names are often used for either sex! And Cambodians generally don't take offence if you're use the wrong pronoun, especially if you're speaking Khmer as it's the same pronoun for him and her

@sstrangio @quinnlibson Pretty sure it’s because he’s dealing with a lot of foreigners who obviously can’t tell male or female names lol

In case anyone doubts America's continuing cultural clout, I just received an email from an assistant to Cambodia's Foreign Ministry spokesman whose email signature lists his preferred pronouns.

Was in Cambodia recently & asked folk about importance of ASEAN. All dismissed it as a photo op so ASEAN much less influential than China. But I argue here its success is noticeable by what is not happening - no conflict between ASEAN members
9DASHLINE@9DashLine

How can ASEAN negotiate greater space for itself amid the intensifying great power rivalry? We ask a select group of experts to explore this key issue bit.ly/4bJ3LTJ | Our thanks to @ASEANWonk, @GordonConochie, Nazia Hussain and @hmarston4

Simple things hit me - 22,000 people sheltering in the hospital; women giving birth with no care; cancer patients unable to be treated; using the last dose of morphine so there's none left for the next people who come in channel4.com/news/doctor-in…
