PNG’s gambling obsession, New Caledonia at a crossroads, and fire dancing | The Pacific | ABC News

This week on The Pacific, we take a look at PNG’s growing NRL gambling obsession, are the country’s most vulnerable being put at risk?

And we’re in New Caledonia where locals are mourning two young Kanaks after they were shot in a skirmish with police — meanwhile France has a new Prime Minister who has left the door open for a different way forward.

We’re also in Brisbane for some fire-knife dancing at Australia’s first Siva Afi Festival.

And Chrisnrita Aumanu-Leong reveals the winner of this year’s Pacific Break competition.
