In Noumea David Hua has been teaching Pacific Islands media people about social media. But the one learning the most is me!
A suggestion from Manus people in Moresby is that the cheapest way to get back home now would be to jump in a dinghy and head to Australia!
Wonderfully amusing yarn from the Solomons - Govt House upset that the dress Kate Middleton wore was not from the Solomons but the Cooks.
Julia Gillard seated on a platform being carried by young Cook Islands men was quite a sight at the opening of the 2012 Islands Forum.
Zita Martel, Samoa's warrior princess, has captained the Don Bosco Fautasi team to win Samoa's 50th anniversay canoe final. See AusNet News.
Off to Samoa for its 50th anniversary of independence in a few days time. Hoping an item ofmine on Nauru will be on AusNet's NewsLine soon.
Stuart Dorney is the second best doctor I know. Susan, his wife, might be the best.
With the Australian Governor General on a 9 day visit to half the countries in the Pacific. Today it is Tonga and the King's funeral.
Turned 61 today but I've had some very flattering messages that I don't look a day over 60.
Australia Network's NewsLine could be running an item tonight I've done for them on recommendations to do away with PNG's Sorcery Act.
Will be great to see RA back broadcasting Pacific Beat through transmitters in Fiji. We've been denied local broadcasts since March 2009.
My feeble attempt at trying to understand the current PNG political situation may go to air on AusNet's NewsLine program tonight.
Lots or rumours PNG's election will be delayed. PM O'Neill tells me, 'No'. But adds he'll rely on advice from Electoral Comm police & DF.
Big turn up in the PNG Parliament today. 80 MPs gave the required 2/3s majority for some things but seats for women not put to the vote.
The PNG Opposition doubles its numbers. Dame Carol Kidu officially welcomes Sam Abal as Deputy saying it's been lonely sitting by herself.
Lawyers by the courtroom full testing the patience of the PNG Supreme Court Judges. The hearing on who is the real PM delayed again.
Looks like PNG's former Acting PM Sam Abal could be joining Dame Carol Kidu as Deputy Opposition Leader.
