Biography
I am a freelance writer bringing you all you wanted to know about politics, diplomacy, and development in the Pacific islands region. I have a contacts list that is hard to rival, based on more than 20 years of living and working in Vanuatu, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Tonga ... If you are looking for someone to write you a simplistic one-dimensional trope-laden piece, please move along. But if you want insight, nuance, and informed analysis, I am the journalist for you. Now based in Brisbane, I travel frequently to the Pacific islands region to keep up to date with what's happening, maintain existing friendships, form new relationships, and drink kava.

By Tess Newton Cain Verified| The Jakarta Post Verified When Solomon Islands and China signed a security agreement during Australia’s last national poll in 2022, they upended a tradition that foreign policy generally gets minimal bandwidth during election campaigns. Assuming there is no such disruption this time around, we can expect little or no mention of Pacific policy as voting day draws near. If there is a change of government on May 3, regional engagement could look quite different in the next three years.

By Tess Newton Cain Verified| The Jakarta Post Verified Strategic engagement between the nations of the Pacific and their partners has now well and truly switched to overt security transactionalism, from soft to hard diplomacy. The explicit position emanating from the United States under the Trump administration reflects what has already been happening in the Pacific, particularly with the region’s largest aid donor Australia.
