Last update: 9 hours ago

Drug Crime: Australia’s biggest cocaine bust—2.7 tonnes worth about A$816m—has led to the arrest of two Samoan men, Andrew Whata Fepulaei (21) and Kristian Faiumu (25), charged with possessing a commercial quantity of an unlawfully imported drug; they face life in prison. School Safety: Samoa’s Education Minister Loau Keneti Sio condemned a brutal gang attack on a mother outside Vaivase Primary School and says school-ground violence prevention policies will be reviewed. National Security Skills: 30 women from Samoa’s border and security agencies graduated from the Pacific Women’s Professional Development Programme to strengthen leadership against transnational crime. Governance & Media: Prime Minister Laaulialemalietoa Leuatea Schmidt axed weekly press conferences for all media, citing “peace,” and flagged a Cabinet directive leak investigation. Sports & Culture: Pacific Strongest 2026 wrapped in Apia with Laauoleolaimalua Fereti Sao winning Men’s Open; and Catherine Laga’aia spoke on representing Samoa with pride ahead of her Moana Journey. Community & Health: Aki Ah Dar received successful heart surgery in Fiji and has returned home recovering well.
