Tagata o te Moana for 6 July 2019

Bougainville finds itself the centre of attention, only months out from an independence referendum; A frustrating latest round of international climate talks for Pacific leaders, with no emisssions targets set; West Papua independence fighters commit to stop using child soldiers after international exposure; And, fears that France's nuclear legacy is being whitewashed in Tahiti; The case against a group of Samoan pastors accused of dodging tax is thrown out; And the Pacific games are set to begin.
