Palau switch off from Radio Australia's FM service

"Australian government cuts to the ABC have led to Radio Australia's FM radio service being switched off in the North Pacific, a move which has not gone down well in the offices of the President of Palau.

Tommy Remengesau Junior has been rising on the international stage in recent times as he continues to promote his widely publicised environmental campaign.

It's a message that has driven up tourist numbers, but Bernadette Carreon in Koror says while the President is keen for people to enjoy what Palau has to offer, it has to be done in a more controlled fashion."

The report may be found at the Radio Australia website.
