The Pacific Elders Voice group of highly renowned present and former leaders has issued two strong statements in relation to major regional and global issues - new security moves by the Australian government and its partners in the AUKUS agreement, and the recently released Working Group II 6th Assessment Report of the IPCC.
Both these statements of the Pacific Elders Voice set out clearly and deliberately the real security issues for Pacific Island nations and the ways these concerns have been sidelined and largely ignored by their so-called friends, especially by Australia, which regularly prides itself on being part of "the Pacific family".
You can read the statements here (Pacific Security and AUKUS) and here (IPCC report).
