Updates on Kanaky New Caledonia are still simmering. President Macron is there to try find a solution. We spoke with frustrated Kanak youth who’ve been out amidst the unrest.

Check out the mythical story about the lost island of Teonimenu which has been told for generations in central Solomon Islands. Scientists now believe they’ve pinpointed the exact location of Teonimenu. @HugoNHodge more 🙌🏽⬇️

Legend has it a jealous husband used a wave curse to sink Teonimenu island into the ocean forever. Scientists have worked out what really happened and the suspected location is still visible on Google Earth. abc.net.au/news/2024-05-08/t…

We looked into how many Pacific ancestral remains are in Australian museums and universities. Found nearly 1500 across 13 institutions and very few plans to return them home. Read: abc.net.au/news/2024-04-26/a…

New story out today with @Volodub & @ThecklaGunga about the important work of two women, Dorothy Jolly & Lisa Ijape, helping tribal violence victims recover destroyed ID. It's an issue often overlooked in relief efforts. 1/3

For victims of tribal violence, reclaiming their identity when government-issued documents are destroyed is a difficult process.
It's an issue often overlooked by authorities, but two Port Moresby-based women are leading relief efforts.

The Eastern Highlands provincial disaster office had zero reports of lost ID. Dorothy & Lisa estimate at least 270 ID documents have been lost preventing access to employment, banking, and education. They plan to travel to Goroka to identify others. 2/3

With peace negotiations and the restoration of essential supplies and services taking priority, the issue of ID recovery has flown under the radar of authorities. But it is essential for people to get on with their lives. Great to see Dorothy & Lisa doing something about it. 3/3

It’s difficult to grasp the scale of suffering Timor-Leste endured in its fight for independence.
21 years of freedom is cause for celebration.
But the anger and pain in Armanda’s eyes as she remembers that time shows it came at a great cost. abc.net.au/news/2023-05-20/t…

It was a pleasure having the Dili Allstars and Timor Oan'S in the studio for music conversation about the time they covertly smuggled cassettes into East Timor, an action which cemented them in the nation's independence narrative. Radio special: abc.net.au/pacific/dili-alls…

Happy Restoration of Independence Day Timor-Leste! 🇹🇱

Tribal fighting has long been a persistent and devastating part of life in the PNG highlands.
ABC presenter @wayne_hilda recently visited the highlands and spoke to those affected by the violence.
She heard horrible stories of devastation - but also glimmers of hope.
