As a matter of fact, Paragraphs 11 and 12 are fully about decolonisation , and comprise the star argument of the article. From “stop creating… “ to “… must end”.

To be frank, I do not know! But it is a good question to ask the Ministry of Finance, to share with the public. Ex-PM Sovaleni sought NZ legal advice in 2023-24 because he was sued as Prime Minster and head of Cabinet (and I think as Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs) by the Secretary for Foreign Affairs (who is also the Secretary to the Privy Council). This is what happens when there is an overlap between the executive powers that His Majesty retained and those that devolved to the Prime Minister and Cabinet in the constitutional reforms of 2010, And when there is a dispute, one resorts to the Supreme Court for direction. So far the Supreme Court has declined to take sides and would prefer that the parties resolve their differences through dialogue. Dialogue is not happening! But Dialogue is the only way out! Malo.

I am interested in working for the program

Hi Peter, Yes. Depending on the ages of your dependents they will be required to do a medical and police clearance that you upload into your immi account as part of your application. If you don't complete these steps for them, they will not have met the visa requirements. For more information about these specific requirements, check the "How to apply" tab at https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/pacific-engagement/pacific-engagement-visa-subclass-192#HowTo You will need to know where your nearest registered medical panel physician is and the days you can apply and collect your PNG police clearance. All the best, Natasha

Despite the hindrances there is still a possibility for other communities that doesn't like violence and tribal or election related problems. Be selective when offering contracts of partnerships.

This is hardly about decolonisation.

Thank you for this excellent piece. It needs to be said a thousand times.

Keep up the good work, guys. Exposing the truth is an uphill undertaking but remember the truth always prevails no matter what. Just don't give up.

How many taxpayers dollars has ex-PM Akilisi and ex-PM Sovaleni spent on NZ legal advice on various issues against the King?

Hi Natasha, I have a question. Apart from the primary applicant, will the dependants need to do medical and police clearance in order to lodge the PR application?

Hi Jonathan Pickering, I am from Papua New Guinea and interested in your funding. I am planning a sustainable livelihood improvement project for local communities who own their indigenous land for sustainable use from grandparents till now. The proposed area is a tropical forest that we taught of preserving it for biodeversity and in return we could get help for small scale project like food security, housing improvement and water supply project that would engage locals who can work and build their capacity on the job and managed the project thus to create employment locally. Thank you.

Thank you, Christopher Lockyear, for this blog. Australia has an absolute obligation to prevent genocide and is not doing nearly enough. Israel continues to act with impunity. It is shocking to read more information about the appalling situation from MSF. The recent Lancet article of an independent study adds to the horror, with an even higher death toll than known so far. The study’s best estimate was 64,260 dead by end of June 2024, with 59% being women, children and people over 65. The figure is only for deaths from traumatic injuries and does not include deaths from a lack of healthcare or food, or the thousands believed to be buried under rubble. Plausible genocide on our watch.
