Can Australia do everything for Papua New Guinea, cause Aussie you only talk but no bench marks, I think that's the reason why China is coming into Papua New Guinea

it's ok to find jobs or employment outside of PNG if your attitude is right you will sustain your self. PNG is blessed with tones of opportunities to start your own business....I wonder why travel so far to make ends meet... I love my small sme.....soon getting somewhere

From Darian on Equipping Australia for development impact
Yes, absolutely spot on - management will need to show leadership, ownership and engagement.

Firstly, thanks so much of the initiatives to create employment to unemployed population. Now, if you could clarify this includes skilled labours as well.
From Lisa Denney on Foreign officers are not the answer to PNG’s policing problems
Thanks Miranda and Sinclair! Also interested to hear your thoughts on to what extent the more explicit promotion of a mixed-model/hybrid approach might be suitable, where 'community policing' type groups (that in many cases already exist) collaborate with the police to extend their reach into communities. Helpful/viable or adding layers of complication?

Thank you for providing the additional links that further justify the need for PNG to agressively step up its efforts in exceeding the 8,000 by 2025 targe. An increase in the target numbers should be the next step once systems to scale are in place.

The challenges highlighted in this blog regarding the recruitment and deployment of Papua New Guinea seasonal workers to Australia and New Zealand are significant. It's crucial for PNG to address the issues of equitable access, infrastructure, and financing to ensure the success of its labor mobility program. Additionally, improving communication, providing resources, and fostering connections between employers and recruitment hubs can play a pivotal role in achieving the target of sending 8,000 workers by 2025. This initiative has the potential to benefit both PNG and the host countries, addressing labor shortages and providing opportunities for PNG citizens, but overcoming these obstacles is essential for its success.

Some documentations are relief of helping tough situations within our beautiful country. The well being of an individual also depends on a single DECISION from our government. Most qualified applicants are wishing to be Change through this path way. How long will it take to bring these exciting news to those applicants. Some fake hub has taken these opportunities to reap some good money from the people. Fingers crossed.

Great article Heather "we don't have another decade to waste"!
From Dr Amanda H A Watson on Paperwork in PNG
Many people who live in PNG or have spent time there would relate to the tale relayed in this blog post. Thank you Fr Joseph for sharing it. Another similarly interesting story is Dek Joe Sum's account of trying to secure NID cards and passports for students selected to travel to Australia for a summer school.
