While media headlines often highlight the plight of “climate refugees”, most displaced people in the Pacific have not crossed an international border. My report for islands Business @IBIupdate looks at the displaced community of Walande in Solomon Islands. islandsbusiness.com/latest-magazin…

With the US & UK retreating from foreign #aid, #Australia's new budget is more than numbers — it's a statement of intent. But what should Australia's role really be in the #Pacific? A quick, smart read here: shorturl.at/XV9yi @ANUBellSchool
