Mark,
Thanks for the query. The data are from an official source, provided to me through a third party.

Hi Richard, wondering what is the source of the data on SWP arrivals by sending country?
From Eli on Does MP funding work (politically) in PNG?
This is an interesting finding as it nullifies the hypothesis of public perception that PM(s) use DSIP to consolidate power. It would be exciting to know about the factors that bind a government cabinet together.

Thanks Amanda.
From Dr Amanda H A Watson on Why we need to start worrying about next year’s elections in Papua New Guinea
Thank you for this thoughtful and informative blog post.
I support Dr Terence Wood’s recommendation that the Papua New Guinea Electoral Commission should hold off from introducing biometric technology until after the next election. This would be a complex undertaking that could not be done within the available remaining time. If it is attempted but not done well, there would be a risk that some eligible voters may be barred from voting.
Thanks again for this interesting read,
Amanda

Thanks for sharing the useful information. Yes DSIP must be used for the intended purposes, not for campaigning.

From Loudeen Parsons on I-Kiribati female seasonal workers in New Zealand: lived experiences
I agree with your perspective. I had a similar concern when RSE workers were stuck here over a year ago now owing to the lockdown situation. They were forced to pay for their own accomodation and many in one team I know of - lost NZD$1k at least. This meant they lost at that time WST$1700. No one was willing to take responisbility at all - so the teams had no choice, they were given letters outlining they had to meet their accomodation costs despite their longer stay not being their fault. When I commented (Radio NZ) . Fortunately shortly afterwards the teams got shipped out more quickly so they returned home. It would be good to have more transparency around contracts from the NZ side though so its important to raise this further when the RSE teams are all poised to re-enter once again. There needs to be standardised approaches developed across this sector.
