As politics and religion are increasingly intertwined, who really speaks for the people?

from Pacific Soul Podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Across the Pacific, politics and religion are increasingly intertwined. Governments are making moves framed by Christian Zionism, like Fiji opening an embassy in Israel, as if whole nations can be declared supporters of Israel. But who really speaks for the people? Who decides if a country stands with Israel or recognises Palestinian rights? We meet Kristel Whippy, an Indo-Fijian lawyer and activist behind Tracking Democracy in Fiji.
