COMMENTARY: By Rob Campbell In Pyongyang there is a public service which would appeal to our own Public Service Commissioner in Aotearoa New Zealand.

COMMENTARY: By Barbara Dreaver, Pacific correspondent of 1News The appointment of Baron Waqa, former President of Nauru, to head the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) next year was a jaw-droppingly poor decision and an insult to everything the regional body is meant to represent.
