In this weeks programme:
The Fiji interim government the constitution commission it appointed is undermining the rule of law; the continuing saga of a possible vote of no confidence in Tonga; the party swapping may already be underway in Papua New Guinea as horse trading among the new MPs begins; The number of Fiji troops deployed as United Nations peacekeepers has more than doubled over the past six years despite initial UN warnings a military coup would mean taking fewer or no recruits from Fiji; Financially struggling Norfolk Island has agreed to a motion that will bring it more directly under Canberra's control; The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation has described the situation in Tuvalu as catastrophic; Overseas museums are being called on to return all Pacific Island artefacts to enable the cultural economies of their countries of origin to grow; and A television commercial screening in Hong Kong based on the TV game show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" is looking to lure Chinese tourists and investors to Vanuatu.
