AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Pacific diplomacy & honours: Australia named diplomat Ewen McDonald and Monash sonographer Peter Coombs to the Order of Australia, spotlighting renewed Pacific engagement and health/education links. Vanuatu–France sovereignty dispute: A “David vs Goliath” stoush over Matthew and Hunter (Umaenupne/Umaeneg) islands is back in focus, with France facing pressure over control of the territories and the wider precedent for maritime sovereignty. Regional security & policing: PNG, Fiji and Tonga senior leaders visited a Pacific-led police training program in Brisbane, underscoring skills for public order, search and rescue and regional stability. Ocean protection push: PNG announced a major Western Manus no-take marine protected area, framed as part of the Melanesian Ocean Corridor of Reserves linking PNG, Fiji and Vanuatu. Media accountability: Vanuatu’s VBTC content head urged Pacific media to stay transparent and accountable as social media misinformation increasingly shapes election choices. Women’s safety in Vanuatu: A new national survey reports intimate partner violence by husbands/partners fell from 44% (2009) to 35% (2024), with faster recent progress but still too slow.
