  • First South Pacific Games Gold Medal the Inaugural South Pacific Games
    First South Pacific Games Gold Medal The inaugural South Pacific Games in Suva in 1963 saw a small team from the New Hebrides competing. The team won one silver medal in the Men’s Pole Vault. Jack Waewo jumped 3.50m, the same as the winner, Alipate Latu from Tonga, but lost the gold on a count-back. The 2nd SPG were held in Nouméa in 1966 where New Hebrides won two bronze medals. The first was to the Rugby Union Team (captained by Sokomanu) and the second to Football (led by Korman), where New Hebrides defeated PNG 5-2 in the bronze medal play-off. MaXime Carlot Korman made a name for himself in Football early on, but later entered politics. He became the first Speaker of Parliament after Independence. He was prime minister of Vanuatu on two occasions from 1991-1995 and again in 1996. He was one of the leading lights of the Football sport in the country, and in 1995 was made Patron of the Vanuatu Football Federation. He was PM when Vanuatu first held the Mini Games in 1993, and the main stadium is named in his honour. Ati George Sokomanu learned his Rugby skills at Lelean Memorial School in Fiji. Many members of the bronze medal winning team had lived in Fiji, or were Fijians living and working in the New Hebrides at that time. He later went on to become the first President of the Independent Republic of Vanuatu, a post that he held until 1984. Lelean has produced an eXtremely large number of Fiji Rugby legends, including the Sevens “Maestro” Waisale Serevi.

  • Title and Declaration
    DEVELOPING DECENT WORK CONDITIONS: A STUDY OF EMPLOYMENT LAW REFORM FROM VANUATU by Anita Jowitt A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © 2015 by Anita Jowitt, School of Law The University of the South Pacific November 2015 DECLARATION ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to my supervisor Miranda Forsyth. Thank you to people who took the time to comment on drafts, especially Howard Van Trease and Ted Hill. A number of people helped to make sure this was completed. Thank you to Robert Early, Howard Van Trease, John Lynch, Kenneth Chambers and Tess Newton Cain. This thesis was initially conceived following a conversation with the then Director of the Suva Office of the International Labour Organisation, Werner Blenk in 2009. It had been almost entirely written by January 2012, and was initially submitted in December 2012. Since the bulk of the work was completed I have had the privilege of using my academic work practically as a member of the Vanuatu Tripartite Labour Advisory Council. I have the greatest respect for all the people who have worked, and continue to work practically on employment law reforms in Vanuatu, including colleagues on the Vanuatu Tripartite Labour Advisory Council, International Labour Organisation advisors, members of the Vanuatu Chamber of Commerce and Industry and trade union representatives. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to take work done to meet academic requirements and use parts of it in practice, hopefully for the benefit of all. i ABSTRACT In November 2008 the Vanuatu parliament passed a Bill to amend the Employment Act [Cap 160] (the 2008 reform), which significantly increased benefits for employees.
