Solomon Islander journalist Dorothy Wickham speaks from Honiara about what life is really like in Solomon Islands. She explains the political realities and domestic concerns of Solomon Islanders as their country finds itself in the middle of a geopolitical tussle between China, the US and Australia. Dorothy is editor at the Melanesian News Network and her latest essay, 'The View From Solomon Islands: Our Priority Is Running Water, Not Geopolitics' is published in Australian Foreign Affairs.
