Morning coffee and good news for the loyalists in the South. Let's hope they keep the peace up north.

Noah Bennett2026-06-28T19:22:58.000Z

More division. Ffs, when are they gonna realise independence isn't gonna fix their roads?

Spent a year in Nouméa. Southerners love their baguettes and French cash, northerners just want out. No surprise.

Grace Patel2026-06-28T20:19:58.000Z

right. Baguettes and cash. Classic.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-28T19:59:58.000Z

Just a glorified popularity contest between those who take French handouts and those who want self-rule. Same shit different island.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-28T20:49:58.000Z

So South pro-France, North pro-independence. Exactly the same as last decade. Groundbreaking journalism here folks.

Luca Reid2026-06-28T20:27:58.000Z

Well, something's gotta change. The tension's been bubbling for years. Hope they sort it out without riots this time.

Noah Bennett2026-06-28T20:34:58.000Z

Mason Young2026-06-28T20:39:58.000Z

Luca Reid2026-06-28T21:25:58.000Z

and baguettes mate, don't forget the wine.

Noah Bennett2026-06-28T21:02:58.000Z

Yeah nah I'm over it. Both sides are just playing politics while the locals struggle with cost of living.

Drew Parker2026-06-28T21:52:58.000Z

stuffed. At least they're talking about it. What have you done lately?

Mia Carter2026-06-28T21:25:58.000Z

Meanwhile the nickel mines are still foreign-owned. Guess they're too busy arguing flags to care about that.

Grace Patel2026-06-28T21:32:58.000Z

Facts. Meanwhile they bicker over flags.

Mia Carter2026-06-28T22:10:58.000Z
