What communities have had to shift? It’s a proven scientific fact that sea levels have not risen or threaten Southern Pacific Islands. The Islands want compensation money from Australian taxpayers to cover their “Non existent Threat” some Islands have actually increased in size

Is this visit just so that the terrorist who was stripped of his citizenship can be given a Fiji passport? Throw him in jail in the country of his birth - Australia if he ever returned.

Souths supporter 😁👍

Where is this happening due to climate change and not subsidence?

Did Scott take his lump of coal with him on this tour?

Rising seas have been “threatening” for a while haven’t they? Maybe they are “all talk and no action”? Nonsense

Lol..if only the seas would fucking rise! Meanwhile just keep filling the Fijians pockets. They must think we are stupid

TOTAL RUBBISH. there has been NO rise in sea levels. Just another way of getting money from us

Bullshit. Just wants to keep the $$$$ rolling in.

Try this for news...

This just shows how little fiji know about the uses of coal! Yes some is burnt for power generation. But Aus coal is highly needed for steel manufacturing due to it's high quality. I guess fiji want to live in grass huts forever.....

PM looking to soothe tensions, offset China influence in Fiji, Vanuatu visitScott Morrison will try to patch up diplomatic tensions with Fiji over the Neil Prakash citizenship blunder during a visit to the Pacific nation this week. auspol Nice way to reinforce ties with China. It's like the LNP think foreign diplomacy is somewhere you charge tax-payers to go on an overseas holiday. Looks like Dutton is in the Dunce Hat again then. Given how well ScoMo has done recently 'soothing' Australia Day issues, this should be highly entertaining. auspol Australia
