 The second, Bob Hawkins, was recruited by the Australian board at the end of 1979 and edited three issues of the magazine – Elites (November 1980), Pacific Islands (produced in Papua New Guinea, July 1981) and Indonesia (October 1982).In the period 1979–1982, there was significant tension between the "New Internationalist" team in the UK and the Australian Board.The tension arose because, on the one hand, the Australian Board felt that there was insufficient Australasian content in the magazine during this period whilst, on the other hand, the "New Internationalist" team in the UK felt that the magazine had to focus on subjects drawing on examples from all around the world rather than concentrating on particular regions.
