Re: Solomon Sogavare - LP - 05-05-2022
All the media coverage is ignoring the extreme displeasure that the locals have about the situation. Just like Fiji and most Pacific Island nations, the locals see Chinese and Indians as job stealers that weasel their way into local businesses and bureaucracy with filthy lire by buying politicians.
There is no prim and proper political correctness in these regions, they don't even like the tribe down the road!
Do not disregard the distress and distrust this will cause on those islands, possibly the only way Sogavare can survive this for any length of time is inviting the devil in as his bodyguard and that also seals his fate!

A perfect recipe for civil unrest. I think the population deserve a helluva lot more than this blatant corruption.

It was interesting to see the former Australian high commissioner to the Solomon Islands manhandled by Scotty's protection detachment when he tried to speak to Scotty about the Government's inept handling of the CCP's incursions into our neighbourhood. Apart from another example of Scotty refusing to listen to folk who know a hell of lot more than he and Mr Potato Head, how is it that our PM's protection detachment can assault a harmless, elderly fellow?
Our new Government will have quite a challenge in turning the Solomons situation around.

Samoa the latest Pacific nation to be bought off by the Chinese Yuan, doesnt matter what Governement is running Australia we cant compete with the offerings of the Chinese and these poverty nations will fall like dominoes as the Chinese ramp up their interest and military position in the Pacific.
The Federated States of Micronesia......?never heard of it?, either had I, but they are not so keen on any Chinese partnership but thats understandable given the USA subsidize this collection of states that join as a country.
Wonder how many more Pacific islands will become part of the Chinese empire.....

Penny Wong’s trip seems to have paid off. Hopefully we will continue to engage with our Pacific neighbours and encourage them to be cautious in their dealings with China.
Wang Yi must be just a little p1ssed off that our new government wasted no time in getting on the front foot with the region.

Sounds like China were interfering in our election.

If so, they didn’t get the outcome they were after.

Maybe they did.
Labour have sold themselves in the past as China's gateway to Australia.
