Please advise when is the Draw for this Ballot?

Hi everyone, I'm new here, however that's not the case, we know many news popping up through Marape leading Government. If this an influential factor, we as a citizen of PNG needs to pray for the goodness of our country. Anyways, I think we should just hang on the fence - meaning not taking sides and thankyou for the above ideas contributed. Thanks very much. Let's look carefully to what's happening next.

Sir Julius Chan?

Thank you Kevin. I agree: it's sad to see NZ in this part of the league table.

Hi I am Marcelino. I am from Timor-Leste. I have been in Australia for 4 years. Now I got permanent contract from Inghams factory I am interested to apply PEV visa. Thanks.

Will East New Britain Province be included in the 'Information Session' in the future? It would be great. But I am interested in the ballot registration.

Really interested in PEV, need more information.

Since the start of this program, PNG have sent how many seasonal workers so far, 2024?.....

Fair analysis by Dr Henry Ivarature. Its good for public consumption for the population to make a fair judgement on historical issues.

Autonomy is the only solution for New Ireland under the current circumstances and moving into the future if it is to fully maximise its potential as a prosperous part of PNG. The more educated people in New Ireland and to an extent PNG become, the more informed they are about the current flawed system of governance and mechanisms on how wealth of a province is distributed. Fun facts about New Ireland: - New Ireland is certainly in the top 10 revenue generating province of Papua New Guinea. - Due to its low population density and few seats in parliament, NIP usually gets the lowest annual budget from the national government normally second last or third last. This is disproportionate to the revenue it contributes to Papua New Guinea which is very unfair for anyone. - New Ireland is the largest province in Papua New Guinea in terms of its geographical coverage (land and sea), the second one is Western Province. Most tuna and other fish caught in the waters in PNG for large commercial enterprises are caught in the seas of New Ireland due to its breeding ground for tuna, yet this does not translate to monetary gains for NIP. Papua New Guinea obviously will find it very difficult granting autonomy to NIP as well as ENB as it is like "killing the goose that lays the golden eggs". It will have significant financial implications to PNG.

However the slow the process is with internal and external challenges; New Ireland Autonomy is inevitable with strong sentiments in the province for this noble cause. If the old veterans like Sir Jay and Dr John Momis are advocating for strong autonomy and decentralization, that is a tree planted so to speak. Once an ideology is given birth to, it will not die out regardless of how much effort people will try to use to undermine it. Just few weeks ago from this comment Dr Momis again emphasized the idea of decentralization of powers back to the people for fair democracy and participation in the democratic process.
