Tankyu tumas Charlotte, this is a well-written snapshot of the complexities and opportunities for Pacific labour mobility during COVID, at the individual and national levels. Balancing economic opportunity, equity in vaccine access AND evolving border measures for our Pacific island states, whilst also safeguarding Pacific worker targets & commitments within the wider labour mobility sending markets during a pandemic is a huge task for NZ's Reset.

Information is power. Thank you for the great work done. Such information needs to get down to the people.<a href="https://pleasedwomen.com/" rel="nofollow ugc"> women </a>

Well do Gentlemen...our democracy is very much alive but certainly not well hence less political parties would be great concept to create stability and good governance and service delivery in our beloved nation by our elected MPs. Thanks

Thanks Thomas for providing some visibility on these movements.

Thank you. Very helpful. Please continue the good work. When we aspiring women candidates get into Parliament, we may know what to expect. Thanks. Mary

Thank you, job well done. Hope this coming elections will show us different and more convincing graphs how the structure of government will look like in this 11th National Government Parliamentary elections.

It's not easy to get to the report and I went from 1, to 2, to 3 links and finally found 'enhancing agency' as a possible heading where I thought I might find something about provision of family planning advice and contraception. And I still found nothing. How can economic empowerment be achieved without access to reproductive rights? Or have I missed something?

Excellent work, Thomas and Stephen.

This seems a sad decline in what was and needs to be a bipartisan commitment to assist the poorest of the poor. Let us hope that whoever wins the next election will resume the proper priority on this issue. It is true that a middle-power like Australia can't take a lead on everything, but this was an area in which we led and of which we could be proud.

A good read indeed. Thank you Anslem for sharing your personal experience and insights in regards to the rejection of getting the vaccine. Yes, life is somewhat normal here in PNG.

Excellent work! It would be even more interesting to show what government spending on different seats looked like at different points in time and whether party affiliation makes a difference. I know there is a difference between money being budgeted for something and actually being released/spent, but I'm wondering if you can tell that if the budget contains reports on what money was returned to consolidated revenue from each seat, at the end of each financial year.
