The seventh narco sub in Pacific waters has been discovered this week as the wave of methamphetamine becomes the latest crisis challenging the region.
1News Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver has spent decades reporting on the region from this country, including the drug battle and subsequent HIV epidemic in some countries.
Dreaver has released her memoir - Be Brave - on covering the Pacific through natural disasters, military coups and criminal activity.
She was detained and deported from Fiji before being blacklisted and not allowed to return for many years during former Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama's reign.
Bainimarama was recently charged with inciting mutiny over allegations they encouraged senior Fiji Military Forces officers to act against the military commander in 2023.
She's a well known face within in Aotearoa, and in much of the Pacific where 1News is screened.
