Where is the Solomon Islands-China relationship controversial? Controversial to who? Solomon Islanders or Australians who are meddling with SI domestic politics?

Leave him alone he is our chosen leader,father of our nation.

For an untold story, it's pretty well known about the support of the Pacific people

Oops…. look like you forgot to turn the comments off!!!! I was just doing a comparison between the ABC and the BBC and I was surprised that you can comment on all the BBC videos. Absolute boongpoo

The sole biggest threat to the positive and progressive development of solomon Islands is "CORRUPTION." It has permeated the very fabric of our society, so much so that it has become not only systemic but also systematic The new government that comes in must make it a priority, to fight corruption, to reduce and contain it, if not eliminate it. Fighting corruption must be one of the very first things that the new government should do. Nafu nao for lie long mifala people. So much for lip service. Tumas na. The new legal regime that was put in place by the last two successive governments, which was launched with so much fanfare in early 2020, is nothing but a joke, to say the least. If the latest Disclaimer Audit Report by the AGO is anything to go by, then we are in big trouble. If Vanuatu and PNG could successfully prosecute those thieves, why can't we? I believe we have similar criminal laws that deal with corruption, haven't we? God bless Solomon islands, from shore to shore.

usa is going to become Usv

American/western values based democracy are disastrous, economy and developments are going nowhere. Argentina is a very good example , fully us ideology democracy.

Corrupt government and Chinese influence Leaves Australia not knowing what they should do!

I suppose life would be simpler and easier if the people of PNG would decide to revert to living the lifestyle before their European encounters.

Sad.

Get rid of him guy's

Change "allegiance" - really? you want to go with that? So that means that since Australia (and the US, and all except a handful of small countries) recognise the PRC as the legitimate govt of China (which includes the island province of Taiwan) they somehow also have our allegiance?

Welcome to U$ sponsored propaganda, it is only legitimate voting if people support to bow to U$A. What a pathetic media!

Interesting - many SI living in Australia to find alternative life choices.

I smell political corruption. Consider voting out your Ownership and Unity Party. Seems obvious they are not responsible for the people.

Love it, was a soundtrack for 90's weird Austin Texas

😊❤

Love those voices - the voices of my youth

You need tough jail sentences for corrupt politicians and councillors plus bring in overseas help from honest country’s to over see transparency of these funding

Excellent report from these two women in Solomon Islands. Are they publishers, or campaigners?

Im sorry but, "china" and "anti corruption" just does not seem to sit well as a sentence

Australian Government should put Australian Broadcasting Corporation up for sale.
