Australia and the Pacific region need their own security pact to exclude non-resident powers from militarising the Pacific.
Australia’s focus on its Pacific neighbourhood has wavered over the years. But the latest round of attention, brought on by a far more aggressive approach by the Chinese Communist Party, is likely going to require far greater and more sustained attention than more recent pivots.
While Australia and the region work towards this more lasting solution, attention is also required on several online harms that are having an impact on the Pacific and its security or will soon.Australia is very familiar with these challenges in the Pacific.
Attacks on the information environment in any democracy matter, but they matter especially in places like Solomon Islands, where the Chinese Communist Party is attempting to use elite capture to try and secure arrangements that are against that country’s national interest and those of the wider population.
Countering disinformation is also not the end of the story. There are other tech challenges looming over the horizon.
