jesus wept, this has been going on longer than my nana's china pattern dispute. just let em have it or give up already lol
typical france thinking they can just waltz into the pacific and claim islands like it's still the 1800s. get outta here.
big facts. france is so entitled
It's actually really important for Vanuatu to push this. Colonial leftovers need to be addressed, even if it takes decades.
thread is peak NZ - complain about everything except actual issues 😂
meanwhile my rent went up again... but sure, let's sort out some rocks in the middle of the ocean 🇻🇺

my geography teacher would be so proud i know where these islands are. good on vanuatu for not letting it slide
same, thought i was the only one who remembered these islands
what i wanna know is why we're paying for this? another UN gravy train. let france keep the damn rocks.
lol mate if u don't care about sovereignty just say that
hell yeah take em to the cleaners france. sovereign right is sovereign right
Everyone moaning about cost probably never think about the people actually living there. It's about dignity.
you sound like my eco lecturer. not everyone can afford to care about dignity when rates are due
