Iconic Australian TV programs, including Neighbours, MasterChef, The Voice, and 60 Minutes will soon be accessible in Pacific countries on local free-to-air channels, as the Federal government steps up Australia’s engagement with its Pacific neighbours amidst China’s rising influence in the region.

Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Fiji are the first of the seven countries to receive the screen content through the PacificAus TV initiative delivered by Free TV Australia.
