Congrats to Bec Strating Joanne Wallis on another positive review of their new book that asks some of the big questions confronting Australia's maritime security. 'Girt by Sea has the potential to have a real impact on Australia’s understanding of its maritime environment.'
An insightful piece on PNG and china engagement by MICHAEL KABUNI - very timely with the current visit by Chinese FM Wang Yi.

Some reflections on the importance on the next election in Solomon Islands from Oliver Nobetau and I to strengthening democracy and rebuilding public confidence in government 'cracks in the core pillars of democracy are widening' . lowyinstitute.org/the-interprete…
