Robbie Robertson, Arena

"David Robie's vivid and well-documented account is a powerful indictment of the foreign policies of the United States, France and Indonesia. Even New Zealand and Australia are implicated."
Nemani Delaibatiki, Waikato Times

"David Robie is one of the better known New Zealand-based journalists currently reporting on the Pacific. His investigative articles on issues and conflicts of the day have brought a new and welcome seriousness to writing on the politics of this region."
