As news and images of the bushfires disaster\ncontinues to spread throughout the region, individuals, communities and\ngovernment leaders have offered their support. The deputy Prime Minister of\nVanuatu, Jotham Napat, announced that his country would donate VT20 million\n(approximately $250,000) to support the work of firefighters. Prime Minister\nScott Morrison of Australia telephoned Mr Napat on Monday to thank him for the\nsupport. In Papua New Guinea, the government has set up a fundraising\nsecretariat and already received a pledge of K50,000 (approx. $20,000) from a\nBougainville politician. PM James Marape has also offered 1,000 defence\npersonnel to assist. The leaders of Fiji and the Federated States of Micronesia\nhave sent messages of support, including <em>via<\/em> social media. Private\nsector enterprises have also joined the efforts, pledging takings and offering\ndonations of products for fundraising activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Samoa ends state of emergency<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In Samoa, the state of emergency\nthat was declared in relation to the measles epidemic has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2019\/dec\/29\/samoa-ends-measles-state-of-emergency-as-infection-rate-slows\">lifted<\/a>.\nThe state of emergency had been in place for six weeks. During that time\nmedical teams from Samoa worked alongside colleagues who joined them from\noverseas to get the infection under control. Part of the work was a mass\nvaccination programme. More than 5,600 people were infected with the disease,\nwhich is approximately 2.8% of the population of the country. There were 81\ndeaths, with the majority of those being of children aged under four years old.\nAs the country comes to term with the aftermath of the emergency, there have\nbeen some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2019\/dec\/18\/these-babies-should-not-have-died-how-the-measles-outbreak-took-hold-in-samoa\">calls\nfor an inquiry<\/a> into the quality of the response on the part of authorities.\nThere have been measles outbreaks in other Pacific island countries, including\nTonga and Fiji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Palau moves to protect marine environment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The New Year saw Palau introduce\nnew measures to protect its marine environment. As of January 1 2020, Palau has\nbecome the first country in the world to ban the use and sale of <a href=\"http:\/\/islandtimes.us\/pr-sunscreen-ban\/\">sunscreen products<\/a> that\ncontain any of 11 ingredients considered to be harmful to coral reefs. This brings\ninto force a law that was enacted in 2018. In addition, 80% of the waters\nsurrounding Palau are now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/pacific-nation-palau-first-to-ban-reef-toxic-sunscreens-to-save-coral\/a-51855112\">closed\nto all forms of fishing<\/a>. Tourism is a crucial part of the economy in Palau\nwith much of the sector focused on the dive industry. President Remengesau has\nexpressed his confidence that these measures will not have an adverse effect on\nthe industry. In 2017, Palau introduced an \u2018eco-pledge\u2019 that all visitors to\nthe island are required to sign. It requires them to \u2018tread lightly, act kindly\nand explore mindfully\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">US to investigate Runit Dome<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A US law passed at the end of 2019\ndirects the Department of Energy to conduct an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arkansasonline.com\/news\/2020\/jan\/01\/new-us-law-requires-probe-of-marshall-i\/?news-arkansas-nwa\">investigation\ninto the Runit Dome<\/a> in Marshall Islands. The dome was constructed to\ncontain contaminated soil arising from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/congress-demands-probe-into-us-nuclear-waste-dump-in-marshall-islands_3189371.html\">nuclear\ntesting<\/a> conducted during the Cold War. Congress has ordered that the\ninvestigation into possible leaks and resulting contamination be completed by\nJune. The terms of reference include an examination of the impacts of rising\nsea levels on the viability of the dome. This is an issue that Marshallese\npeople and their leaders have been concerned about for many years. The\nannouncement of the inquiry was welcomed by Rhea Moss-Christian, who is the\nchair of the Marshall Islands National Nuclear Commission. This announcement\ncomes at an important juncture in relations between the US and Marshall\nIslands. Negotiations relating to extending the Compact of Association are\nexpected to progress this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jacinda Ardern named Pacific person of the year<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The leading regional magazine <em>Islands\nBusiness <\/em>has named the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, as\ntheir \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/national\/politics\/118624134\/prime-minister-jacinda-ardern-named-pacific-person-of-the-year\">Pacific\nPerson of the Year\u2019<\/a> for 2019. Although New Zealand\u2019s foreign minister\nWinston Peters is very much the face of the \u2018Pacific Reset\u2019, Prime Minister\nArdern has had an impact in the region in her own right. Samisoni Pareti,\neditor and publisher of <em>Islands Business<\/em> said the award was to make\nparticular recognition of Ardern\u2019s contributions at the meeting of Pacific\nIslands Forum leaders in Tuvalu. She was credited for working to maintain\nrelationships during what became a very <a href=\"https:\/\/devpolicy.org\/trying-times-in-tuvalu-20190820\/\">tense meeting<\/a>\nin order that a degree of consensus could be achieved. Pareti also made mention\nof the leadership that Ardern had showed at home during the Christchurch\nmassacre. Ardern is only the second person of non-Pacific island heritage to\nhave received this award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"author label\">AUTHOR<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tess Newton Cain<\/strong>&nbsp;is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Griffith Asia Institute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TESS NEWTON CAIN\u00a0 |\u00a0 \u00a0 Pacific nations offer support to Australia Pacific island countries and their peoples have offered support to Australia.
