Griffith University’s Asia Institute reports Vanuatu, Australia’s Pacific neighbour, has adopted a new cybercrime law.

Cybercrime Bill recognises clear terms and definitions for cyberbullying threats and hate crimes while providing free speech, the public good and identity protection.

Vanuatu’s new cybercrime bill is said to shed light on a new standard for Pacific Cybercrime legislation with empowering law enforcement to act more decisively.
