Bougainvillean President Ishmael Toroama has accused the Australian government of throwing its support behind the government of Papua New Guinea to destabilise Bougainville’s right to self-determination.
The PM delivered a speech recently about the rules-based international order that “allowed sovereign nations to pursue their interests free from coercion”. Less than three weeks later he warned the Solomon Islands not to take this idea too far. William Briggs reports.
