    Neighbours - Australia and the Pacific. A new vision of the way Australia might relate to its Pacific neighbours.

    Is being in a "family" the same as being a neighbour? Not according to author Joanne Wallis who has produced her (with Jack Corbett) must-read book on the subject. For diplomats, ADF members who have or are serving in the Pacific, and for anyone interested in Australia's history in the region, this chat with Joanne shines light on our dealings with our smaller-nation neighbours. We speak about our reaction to China's recent comments and moves on and within the area and our own colonial history in relation to our treatment of the Pacific. We speak about Australia's military capability to defend the area and whether other Pacific countries share our strategic interests.
