Despite being close neighbours, Australia and Papua New Guinea have only recently become formal allies through the Pukpuk Treaty. But what does this new alliance mean beyond government-to-government ties? In this episode of Lowy Institute Conversations, Dominic De Moura McCarthy, President and Founder of the Pacific-Australia Youth Association, and Sharon Bala Woruba, Environment and Sustainability Manager for PNG at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, join the Institute's Sarah Thompson to discuss the future of the bilateral relationship.They discuss PNG's forthcoming NRL team, the Chiefs; what real economic opportunity for small businesses and grassroots communities looks like; the underused potential of diaspora communities in places like North Queensland; and why formal exchange and education programs matter at every stage of life.The conversation lands on a bigger question: what would it take for everyday Australians and Papua New Guineans to feel genuine ownership of this relationship, rather than watching it play out at the top? Dominic De Moura McCarthy and Sharon Bala Woruba were participants in the Australia–PNG Network's 2026 Emerging Leaders Dialogue. You can read the recommendations of the emerging leaders in a joint communiqué published by the Lowy Institute.

Interview with Michael Murphy, Executive Chairman of South Pacific Metals Recording date: 22nd September 2026South Pacific Metals Corp. (TSXV:SPMC, OTCQB:SPMEF, FSE:6J00) is a Papua New Guinea-focused gold-copper explorer built around a straightforward thesis: hold ground on the same geological structures that have already produced some of the world's most significant gold-copper mines, and let proximity to proven systems reduce exploration risk relative to greenfield ground.The company's four projects sit within three established PNG mining districts. Kili Teke, acquired from Harmony Gold in 2023, is located roughly 40 kilometres from Barrick's Porgera mine and carries an NI 43-101 Inferred Resource of 237 million tonnes grading 0.24 g/t Au and 0.34% Cu, containing 1.81 million ounces of gold and 802,000 tonnes of copper (effective November 2022). Management argues this resource significantly understates the system's scale, since it is trimmed to roughly 650 metres from surface and excludes several higher-grade targets identified in historical and recent sampling including skarns returning up to 27.5% Cu at surface and an alkalic gold target with soil anomalies to 9,390 ppb Au. Drill-ready targets at these excluded zones are expected by the end of October 2026.Osena and Anga sit on the Kainantu Transfer Zone, the same structure hosting K92 Mining's high-margin Kainantu operation. Drilling at Osena's Megabe target has already returned high-grade intercepts, including 8 metres at 8.95 g/t Au (with 5 metres at 12.46 g/t Au inside that), and four step-out holes have extended the mineralised structure to over 300 metres of strike in roughly ten weeks since the first discovery hole, a pace Executive Chairman Michael Murphy pointed to directly. Four additional holes at the nearby Ontenu Central target are complete, with assay results still pending.May River, the company's fourth project, sits approximately 15 kilometres from PanAust's Frieda River deposit, one of the world's largest undeveloped copper-gold projects, and hosts historical drill intercepts including 19 metres at 11.47% Cu and 2.17 g/t Au.Management brings relevant credibility to this positioning. Murphy previously spent 12 years on the board of Torex Gold, which he built from a small shell company into a producer now valued at more than $4 billion. The board also includes Alex Davidson, formerly EVP of Exploration and Corporate Development at Barrick Gold, and CEO Timo Jauristo, a 40-year mining executive with senior roles at Goldcorp and Placer Dome.On the financial side, Murphy told Crux Investor that a financing of roughly $20 million backed by several established mining-sector institutional funds was in its final stages at the time of the interview, intended to fund the current work programme through year-end 2026. As at August 31, 2026, the company carried a market capitalisation of approximately C$65 million and a share price of C$0.93, with insiders holding roughly 45% of the register.For investors, the appeal lies in the combination of a defined resource with clear expansion potential, active drilling already producing high-grade results, a funded programme, and an experienced technical and capital-markets team set against the standard risks of early-stage exploration in a jurisdiction still working to shed its reputation for operational difficulty, regardless of the recent evidence to the contrary.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/kainantu-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com/subscribe

Just two weeks after the sinking of a ferry in Vanuatu there's been a boat sinking in PNG with one person dead and four others missing. And Christina updates us on how El Nino is affecting the region.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Webp is meant to replace GIF, JPEG, and PNG. Its features include: Lossy compression Lossless compression Metadata, including Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) and Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) Transparency (an "alpha channel") Embedded ICC (International Color Consortium) profile Multiple frames (animation) The typical expectation is to achieve equal or better visual quality as a JPEG or PNG or GIF, but with a savings of 25% to 35% on file size. This is famously difficult to measure, because if you concede to an equal file size, then the quality ought to be better, but there is a "ceiling" to quality that can be detected by the majority of human eyes. So the metric is the unmeasurable: How good does it look to you? If it looks as good or better, and the file size is smaller, then it can be said that the format is superiour. The best and most common test is to look at an image compressed with JPEG or PNG compression, and then look at the same image compressed by WEBP. If you can't tell the difference, and the file size of WEBP is smaller, then it's an improvement for disk space and bandwidth. WEBP is an 8-bit format (based on the VP8 video codec) and lacks support for 10-bit, 12-bit, or 16-bit colour. Specifically, WEBP is YUV420, where Y is Luma (brightness and darkness), and U and V are Chroma (colour). Each 8-bit pixel in the UV (Chroma) corresponds to a 2-by-2 block of 8-bit Luma pixels, or in other words, Chroma gets half the resolution of Luma. This is not uncommon, because how sharp an image appears to the human eye is mostly (not entirely, to be fair) influenced by Luma. Our eyes differentiate bright from dark better than our eyes perceive subtle shifts in hue. The ICCP chunk starts with a 4-byte declaration (the ASCII string "ICCP"), then a 32-bit integer representing the length of the payload, then the payload (the ICC profile specification according to the International Color Consortium), and then optionally a byte to pad the header. The embedded ICC profile can define any old colour space you want. If none is defined, sRGB is assumed. The libwebp library only parses the ICC profile, it doesn't actually handle conversion. That's left to the client application, which is why you might get a notice sometimes in GIMP or a similar application about a colour space mismatch. (It's generally safe to convert to your current colour space, and if it's not then you'd know it because you're working in a multimedia production house where colour spaces and colour profiles are significant.) Converting to WEBP is available in most applications, at this point, including Image Magick and the cwebp command. Image Magick: $ convert foo.tiff foo.webp Or using cwebp with -q for a quality 0 (low) to 100 (high), and -o for output: $ cwebp foo.tiff -q 60 -o foo.webp Test images are available from a Mozilla test suite. Or you can test on a Hacker Public Radio image, such as the screenshot of the upload form on the episode_show_notes page: $ wget https://hackerpublicradio.org/images/upload_form.png $ cwebp upload_form.png -q 50 -o upload_form.webp $ ls -gl -rw-r--r-- 1 users 308K Sep 16 13:56 upload_form.png -rw-r--r-- 1 users 79K Sep 16 13:57 upload_form.webp References Developers Google Salivity.github.io Mozilla Provide feedback on this episode.

If you need to export multiple layers from Photoshop as individual PNG files, this tutorial walks through a fast way to batch export Photoshop layers without saving each one manually. I demonstrate the workflow using storyboard panels that need to be exported from a PSD and brought into editing software to build an animatic, but the same Photoshop Export As workflow can be useful for designers, animators, storyboard artists, video editors, and anyone working with multiple layers that need to become separate image files.I'll show you how I prepare the Photoshop file before exporting, clean up unnecessary layers and folders, merge anything that needs to remain together, select multiple layers at once, and use Photoshop's Export As feature to export everything in one batch.We also look at how to change the image format, dimensions, scale, width and height, RGB settings, and export destination across all of the selected layers at once.

Topics covered in this episode: Web UIs for your reverse proxy Wagtail 8.0 is hot off the presses RISC-V is now officially supported by CPython Django's annual releases make every version an LTS Extras Joke Watch on YouTube About the show Sponsored by Logfire from Pydantic: pythonbytes.fm/logfire Connect with the hosts Michael: Mastodon / BlueSky / X / LinkedIn Calvin: Mastodon / BlueSky / X / LinkedIn Show: Mastodon / BlueSky / X Join us on YouTube at pythonbytes.fm/live to be part of the audience. Usually Tuesday at 7am PT. Older video versions available there too. Finally, if you want an artisanal, hand-crafted digest of every week of the show notes in email form? Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Michael #1: Web UIs for your reverse proxy Traefik, nginx, and Caddy all sit in front of a lot of self-hosted infrastructure, and all three are configured by hand-editing files. Three active projects put a control plane on top: Traefik Manager (Python + Flask), Nginx UI (Go + Vue), and caddy/ui (React + Node). All three are additive rather than replacements - none of them take ownership of your config away from you - which is the part that matters when the thing has write access to production routing. Traefik Manager is the Python one: Flask 3.1 and Gunicorn for the control plane, a lightweight Go agent for remote instances, currently v1.10.0 with an Android companion app. Nginx UI is a single Go binary at 11.3k stars, with a block-style config editor, an Ace editor doing LLM completion on nginx syntax, and an MCP server so agents can drive it. caddy/ui runs as two containers next to your existing Caddy, reads and writes your Caddyfile directly, and uses Caddy's /adapt API to validate before reload - no Docker socket required. Each one edits the config the underlying server already reads, so your files stay the source of truth and you can drop the UI without unwinding anything. Undo is a first-class feature across all three - timestamped backups with optional Git history, config version compare and restore, Caddyfile snapshots with one-click rollback. Observability is where they diverge: Traefik Manager does CrowdSec and a visual route map, Nginx UI does server metrics, caddy/ui streams access logs over SSE and pulls p50/p95/p99 off Caddy's Prometheus endpoint. Maturity spread is wide - Nginx UI has 11.3k stars, caddy/ui has 4 and was built in a single Claude session - and caddy/ui ships with auth off by default, so set CADDY_UI_USER and JWT_SECRET before it goes anywhere near a public interface. Calvin #2: Wagtail 8.0 is hot off the presses Link: https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/releases/tag/v8.0 Custom base page models are now supported, so projects aren't locked into subclassing Wagtail's Page as shipped (Matt Westcott). New v3 REST API handles both read and write CMS operations, a first for Wagtail's API. A global registry for permission policies, plus full customizability for the remaining page views via PageViewSet. AVIF and WebP images are no longer auto-converted to PNG by default, a real behavior change to watch on upgrade. Five security fixes: page admin API restrictions, document identification by SHA1 hash, descendant collections in the Documents/Images API, snippet copy permissions, and the page translation endpoint. Formalized Django 6.1 support, and CI now runs on uv with a lockfile. Sponsor: Logfire from Pydantic Your AI agent failed at 2am. Was it the model? A tool call? The database?

Calvin #3: RISC-V is now officially supported by CPython Link: https://blog.python.org/2026/08/riscv-now-officially-supported/ CPython added RISC-V as a tier 3 platform under PEP 11, specifically the 64-bit Linux target riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu. RISC-V is an open ISA anyone can implement, unlike x86 and ARM, and its market is projected to quadruple by 2032. The RISE Project donated real RISC-V machines for buildbots; the author's work was funded by a Sovereign Tech Agency fellowship. What changes: the port is now a maintained compatibility target, so CPython changes are less likely to quietly break it. What doesn't: no python.org installers, no binary wheel parity for native extensions. Next up: RISC-V runners in CPython CI for pre-merge feedback, then a push toward tier 2, plus architecture-specific optimizations. The ask is testing. If you have RISC-V hardware, build CPython, run your test suite, file what breaks. Tier 3 is the weakest support tier. PEP 11 tier 3 requires a core developer contact and a buildbot, but failures on tier 3 platforms explicitly do not block a release. Saying "ongoing CI/testing expectations" oversells it. The honest bit is "someone is now on the hook for it, and breakage gets noticed," not "it's guaranteed working." Worth the caveat that this is Linux SBCs, not microcontrollers. A VisionFive 2 counts, an ESP32-C6 or Pico 2 does not. Those are 32-bit non-Linux parts where MicroPython is still the answer. Michael #4: Django's annual releases make every version an LTS Starting with Django 2028, Django will move to one January feature release per year, adopt calendar-based version numbers, and support every release for three years. The old distinction between standard and LTS releases disappears, giving teams a predictable annual upgrade path that aligns more closely with Python's own release and support cadence. Every Django release becomes the safe, long-supported choice, so teams no longer need to wait for a specially designated LTS version or absorb two years of changes at once. Each release gets one year of mainstream bug fixes followed by two years of security and data-loss fixes. New releases support the three latest Python versions and add the next Python release during their first year. Calendar versioning begins with Django 2028, followed by Django 2029 and so on. Three Django versions will be supported at any time, giving third-party packages a clearer rolling target. Nothing changes before 2028, and existing commitments for Django 5.2 LTS and 6.2 LTS remain in place.

Why would someone who watched one deep-sea mining company collapse go back and try it again? That's the question at the center of this episode, and it's not hypothetical. It happened, with the same industry, some of the same licenses, and the same person at the center of it: Gerard Barron, now CEO of The Metals Company (TMC), one of the most prominent and best-funded companies pushing to start commercial deep-sea mining today. This isn't framed as an accusation against Barron specifically. It's a documented sequence of decisions, and by the end, you can decide for yourself what the motive looks like. Before TMC, Barron was an early investor and promoter behind Nautilus Minerals, a company that pursued seafloor mineral deposits off Papua New Guinea. Nautilus raised hundreds of millions of dollars, including investment from the PNG government itself, before its costs spiraled, it was delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange, and it filed for bankruptcy in 2019. Barron reportedly sold his shares years before the collapse, walking away with a return as high as $30 million, while PNG's government and environment were left holding the damage. Years later, people connected to Nautilus, including Barron, regrouped as Deep Green, which became The Metals Company, and picked up exploration rights in the Clarion Clipperton Zone that had once belonged to Nautilus. This episode traces that arc from Adstream to Nautilus to TMC, including TMC's push to trigger the ISA's two-year rule, its more recent pursuit of a US mining permit outside the International Seabed Authority process entirely, and Barron's consistent argument that mining the seabed is less environmentally damaging than mining on land. Whether that comparison holds up, and what it means that the environmental cost of Nautilus's failure barely factors into how Barron talks about it now, is the thread running through the whole story. Takeaways Gerard Barron, now CEO of The Metals Company (TMC), was an early investor and promoter (not CEO) behind an earlier deep-sea mining venture, Nautilus Minerals, which went bankrupt in 2019. Nautilus's projected operating costs of about $70 per ton reportedly grew to about $192 per ton, contributing to its delisting from the Toronto Stock Exchange and eventual bankruptcy. Papua New Guinea's government invested in Nautilus and, according to the country's prime minister, the country spent roughly 300 million Kina (about $72 million USD) on a project later called a "total failure." Barron sold his Nautilus shares years before the company's collapse, reportedly for as much as $30 million, while PNG's government was still invested. TMC, which Barron now leads, is pursuing a US permitting path through NOAA and the Trump administration, outside the ISA process. Long-term recovery data on deep-sea mining damage remains limited; some studies cited in the episode indicate no biodiversity recovery three to four years after mining activity occurred. Barron has publicly compared seabed mining favorably to land-based mining, but a specific biomass figure he's cited in at least one interview is disputed in this episode as inaccurate.

On July 6, a Chinese submarine fired a nuclear-capable ballistic missile out of the South China Sea. It likely overflew parts of the Philippines before coming down in waters between Tuvalu, Nauru and Solomon Islands, inside the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone. The 14 Pacific Island countries in whose region it landed were almost entirely skipped in Beijing's notifications. A month later, when Pacific Islands Forum foreign ministers met in Fiji, two of its members held up the response text.Kathryn Paik of the Center for Strategic and International Studies joins Ray Powell and Jim Carouso to explain what Beijing was signaling, and why the Pacific Island Countries couldn't answer with one voice. Paik wrote the first-ever U.S. Pacific Partnership Strategy at the National Security Council, following 23 years in the Marine Corps as a helicopter pilot and as a military attaché in Indonesia.In this episode:Why the missile's route mattered more than its range: launched from the South China Sea, overflying a U.S. treaty ally and landing in a declared nuclear-free zone hours after Australia signed its fourth-ever mutual defense treaty with Fiji. Paik's read: the message was that China "can militarily touch you anywhere it wants."How Nauru and Kiribati, two countries that recently switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing, frustrated an 18-member consensus bloc. Jim presses the obvious counter — the U.S. and France tested here for decades — and Paik explains what makes this launch different.How sports became a national security instrument in a deal to put Papua New Guinea in Australia's National Rugby League, and the commitment on security ties with Beijing that came attached.Australia's diplomatic surge: mutual defense treaties with PNG and Fiji, plus bespoke security pacts with Tuvalu, Nauru and Vanuatu.Why Kiribati patrols an ocean territory larger than India with a population of roughly 140,000, and what that means for fisheries, the seabed and undersea cables.Paik on why U.S. Pacific policy has always been somebody's side job: "In Australia they have 300 people in their Office of the Pacific. We have about a dozen." The 2025 damage to U.S. standing, including USAID's closure, tariffs and no resident ambassadors across the 14 Pacific Island countries.
