TUVALU: New PM vows to lift restrictions on media freedom

Tuvalu's new prime minister has vowed to lift what he says have been restrictions on press freedom in the country. Apisai Ielemia has accused the previous government of gagging the media, especially the government-run Radio Tuvalu. Mr Ielemia has just taken over as prime minister after an election which saw almost all ministers in the previous government thrown out of Parliament. He says there will be some immediate changes in government transparency. (ABC Pacific Beat, 17 August 2006)

Two Ways to Boil a Frog

By Tarcisius Tara Kabutaulaka. "In the past couple of years, following the country's civil unrest, Solomon Islanders seem to have developed a high degree of tolerance for the law and (dis)order situation and other social problems in their country. In a way, tolerance is a good thing because it helps people survive in a difficult situation. But, it ceases to be a good thing when people begin to accept their appalling situation as 'normal' and is not bothered to change it." Tarcisius Tara Kabutaulaka, Chief Negotiator for Guadalcanal Province and the Isatabu Freedom Movement (IFM) at the Solomon Islands Peace Conference in 2000, is a leading expert on the Solomon Islands.
