Feature: Christmas Eve memories of simpler timesCommunity Services (MoJCS) has launched its new sector strategy to strengthen the justice system, improve community access to justice, and boost service delivery across Vanuatu. The Justice and Community Services Sector Strategy (JCSSS) 2024–2030 sets out the sector’s strategic priorities and helps guide the 13 justice agencies in business planning and addressing systemic challenges. Building on previous strategies, developing the new framework draws on extensive consultations with sector leaders and representatives. This strategy is a vital step forward for the MoJCS’ commitment to delivering justice and community services that are accessible, equitable, timely, and of the highest quality for all people in Vanuatu. It reflects the sector’s collective vision and dedication to building a just, inclusive, and resilient society. The justice sector relies on collaboration across government agencies, communities, and international partners. One such partner is Australia, which has a long history of support with MoJCS. Joining the Director General (DG) of the MoJCS, Mr. Arthur Faerua, and the Heads of the Justice Agencies at the launch, Political Counsellor Mrs. Laura Frech Cardenas reaffirmed Australia’s commitment to Vanuatu’s justice sector. “Australia welcomes the launch of these important new strategies. As partners with the Government of Vanuatu, we share a mission of promoting justice, providing fair services, and protecting human rights,” stated Mrs. Cardenas. “This launch is a testament to the sector’s dedication to sustainable progress and the new framework will allow us to continue our efforts to strengthen the justice system, improve access to justice, and provide quality services for Vanuatu’s most vulnerable communities.” The JCSSS, aligned with the Vanuatu 2030 plan, is a roadmap for justice sector development. It focuses on improving community safety, advancing law reforms, and strengthening leadership and governance. Key strategic themes include climate adaptation, transparency, and rehabilitation, supported by actions like better infrastructure, data management, and inclusive services. As part of the launch, the MoJCS also introduced its Capacity Development (CD) Strategy 2024–2030, which is embedded within the JCSSS. The CD Strategy focuses on developing leadership and professional skills within justice institutions. DG Faerua highlighted the importance of capacity development to the sector. “We can strengthen the foundations of our institutions by investing in the development of justice professionals and leaders. By building these capabilities, we ensure that justice services are resilient, inclusive, and effective in the face of future challenges,” he said. The MoJCS acknowledges the invaluable contributions of its Heads of Agencies, development partners, and stakeholders in crafting the transformative strategies. Together, the JCSSS and CD Strategy represent a unified vision for a just, inclusive, and resilient Vanuatu. As implementation begins, the MoJCS remains committed to furthering collaboration, driving impactful reforms, and delivering justice services that meet the needs of all communities.

Three months before elections, Germany's embattled Olaf Scholz kicked off the campaign Saturday by attacking his conservative rival as cold towards the poor but a hothead who would play "Russian roulette" with Moscow. Weeks after his three-way coalition collapsed in acrimony, and lagging behind in the polls, the Social Democrat Scholz vowed to defeat the current frontrunner Friedrich Merz of the Christian Democrats (CDU). "Some have already written us off," Scholz told his SPD party faithful, before pledging a similar comeback at the February 23 vote to one that led him to victory three years ago when he took over from Angela Merkel. Merz, for his part, launched a withering attack on Scholz's failed alliance with the Greens and Free Democrats, accusing it of having driven Europe's biggest economy to the wall through ineptitude and over-regulation. He slammed the "messed up and wrongheaded" policies that were leading the economy into its second year of downturn, with many big companies shedding jobs. Merz, a millionaire and former investment fund board member, said that only strong and prosperous companies can create economic growth and employment -- "otherwise all the dreams ... will burst like soap bubbles". On Ukraine, Scholz pledged sustained support for the fight against Russia but also a prudent course that would prevent NATO and Germany being drawn directly into the conflict. Under Scholz, Germany has become the second-biggest arms supplier to Ukraine but has refused to send Kyiv long-range missiles that could strike deep inside Russia. Scholz said Merz "wants to present the nuclear power Russia with an ultimatum ... that if Putin does not do what Germany wants then from tomorrow onwards German missiles will be fired deep into Russia". "All I can say is: be careful with Germany's security, you don't play Russian roulette," said Scholz, who is campaigning under the label of "peace chancellor". But Scholz also condemned Germany's pro-Russian far-right and far-left parties who would seek a "graveyard"-like peace under Moscow's terms. He said only his SPD "clearly supports Ukraine and at the same time ensures that we are not drawn into the war". "In matters of war and peace, you need a cool head and a firm stance," Scholz added, while condemning "sharp-tongued" fringe party leaders and the "unpredictable opposition leader". Merz, at his own event, demanded a "fundamental change" in economic policy, without "this green-tinted interventionism in every area of life, in every company, in every industry". He railed against "monstrous bureaucracy" hobbling companies and people at the national and EU levels, singling out a recent "nonsense" idea from Brussels to ban smoking outdoors. Scholz slammed the CDU's demand for lower corporate taxes as "always the same recipe, no matter what is going on in the world". "It reminds me of a doctor who always prescribes his patients the same pills no matter if they have a cough or a broken foot," said Scholz. Scholz repeatedly pointed at Merz's personal wealth and promised to champion the working man. He advocated stable pensions, a raise of the minimum wage, and tax breaks for 95 percent of earners but a tax rise for the richest one percent. Scholz also evoked the legacy of Merkel, the more centrist CDU predecessor and party rival of Merz, a traditional conservative. "The Merz CDU has nothing to do with the Merkel CDU," charged Scholz. "Its social wing has been completely marginalised." The two candidates also outlined sharply different visions on immigration, a flashpoint issue that has fuelled support for the far-right Alternative for Germany, now polling near 20 percent. Merz vowed that "we must do everything to further reduce illegal migration to Germany" and reiterated his demand that those with no chance to gain asylum be pushed back at Germany's borders. Scholz condemned as "lies" claims that he had failed to act on irregular migration and charged that Merz is "only concerned with the election campaign and not with humanity and order". Scholz also said that Merz had failed "to accept the reality that Germany has long been an immigration country" where one quarter of people have a migrant background. Merz warned that, unless a new government can restore prosperity and stability, then by the next elections in 2029 "the populists from the far left and the far right -- especially the latter -- will become the majority in our parliament."Bike lane bill amended to protect Ontario government from cyclist lawsuits, NDP MPPs say
