New Caledonia's State of Emergency has lifted after two weeks of unrest.
Fewer than 20 New Zealanders are still there and wanting to come home, with one more flight today.
French President Emmanuel Macron has travelled to the French island territory and says lifting it allows political dialogue.
France correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking that all he seems to have achieved is agreeing to lift the state of emergency.
She says it's being seen as a sign that all parties that Macron spoke to there want to de-escalate the situation.
