| dc.description.abstract | In his 2012 New Year’s address to the nation, Solomon Islands’ GovernorGeneral Sir Frank Kabui warned that land tenure had become the issue most likely to spark conflict within the scattered archipelagic nation. He went on to outline a number of issues he perceived to be a problem, including: the ‘communal’ ownership of land by kin groups and the need to register land in order to make it ‘marketable’; the inequitable distribution of natural resource rents; and the ‘illegal occupation’ of land in the vicinity of the national capital, Honiara, by migrants from other islands. He exhorted Solomon Islanders to ‘adjust our mindset’ or remain ‘caught between our cultural way of life and the cash economy’ (Damosuaia 2012). | en_AU |
