There's always been restrictions around who meets Pacific Leaders & 4 how long. Amazingly France seems to enjoy the access that even Pacific CSOs don't have. This is why a Pacific Peoples Forum is necessary, Malo Aupito @CSFTonga. Kemudou tu ga! @Pacific_2030 #FreeKanaky

Not Vuvale/Family when Fijian workers are exploited & abused in Australian abbatoirs & industries 😔😔 @ForumSEC @MEconomies #VuvalePartnership #ConVuvaleTreatment
More needs to be done to ensure greater protection of our people in Australia and NZ. It is crucial that our workers are well versed in knowing their rights, otherwise they become modern day slaves.

1. “Intellect is not wisdom”
• Most modern intellect is the ability to memorize information
• Intellects worship access to information rather than the application of the lessons
Without execution, information is useless. It turns information into wisdom others can learn from
