🇼🇸Samoan CrossFit coach and athlete Brandon Sefo recently sat down with ABC Pacific - That Pacific Show to share his journey and the growth of the sport in Samoa through Crossfit FatuToa, Samoa’s first CrossFit affiliate.

Brandon was in Australia to compete at the Torian Pro CrossFit comp over the weekend in the Pro Pairs Male division alongside fellow Samoan Xavier Martel.

In a field stacked with elite athletes from across Australia and New Zealand, only the top eight teams advanced to the finals. Brandon and Xavier earned one of those spots.

Among a sea of Australian and New Zealand flags, the lone Samoan flag made it all the way to the final floor.

Malo lava Brandon and Xavier!

Tackling organised crime isn’t just a law enforcement effort. Every person in the community, including you, has an important role to play.

That’s why today at the Pacific Transnational Crime Summit in Fiji, we supported the launch of Pacific Watch, a community-led approach helping protect the region from organised crime.

You know your community best. If something feels out of place, trust your instincts and take notice.

👀 Recognise. Be the community’s eyes and ears.

🧠Remember. Safely note what you saw or heard. Details matter.

📱Report. Tell Pacific Watch or someone you trust, like a church or community leader.

When communities come together and share what they see, small actions can make a real difference.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment kicked off National Environment today with National Clean Up Day. To show Australia's support for a cleaner, greener, and healthier Samoa, the Australian High Commission walked along the sea wall picking up rubbish.

National Clean Up Day is a good reminder for everyone to treasure the pristine natural environment we have been gifted.
