Episode Synopsis
In the final episode, we journey into the French Pacific, uncovering the region's complex political and social landscape in a part of the region that few Australians pay much attention to. We discuss the crucial role of language and media in understanding regional issues, and the relationships between Australia and France. We also address the devastating impact of historical nuclear tests on the community, featuring a first-hand account from a community member. As we wrap up our statecraft journey, Professor Joanne Wallis and the team reflect on what surprised them, what they learned, and the mysteries that remain. They discuss the challenges of breaking old habits in policy-making and the importance of storytelling in understanding the human side of statecraft.
