  • Summary

  • Lester Kiewit spoke to Katie MacDonald, our correspondent in Australia, for this week’s Pacific Dispatch, covering key stories from the region. As antisemitic incidents rise in Australia, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has vowed that perpetrators will be "hunted down and locked up," though many question whether he’s up to the task. Meanwhile, New Zealand is making moves to attract global talent by relaxing visa rules for digital nomads, positioning itself as a remote work hub. And in a landmark decision, Mount Taranaki has been granted the same legal rights as a person, following in the footsteps of the Whanganui River in recognizing the deep cultural and spiritual significance of natural landmarks.
