Accidental activist Isaac Nasedra: From university mix-up to fierce Pacific political voice
Published 2 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Born of Fijian heritage, but raised in the heart of Western Sydney, Isaac Nasedra accidentally stumbled into environmental forensics, due to a university admissions error, only to discover a lifelong calling to protect the Pacific.
From running for state parliament in a sulu, to challenging the status quo of "polite" activism, Isaac is on a mission to prove that Pacific Islanders are not just performers for consumption, but thinkers, philosophers and political forces.
Isaac speaks candidly to Wendy Mocke in this episode of Stories From The Pacific on ABC Radio Australia.
