It's now been confirmed that if you have a job that meets the adequate means requirement.

No information, sorry. I agree it would be interesting.

This article raises important points about the global water crisis and some exciting solutions. I love the focus on small-scale desalination and reusing wastewater, which can really help communities in need.

I have a question and that is how is the PEV ballot being processed; as in are people still being approved? is the department going through each application to consider people to apply?

Thanks for outlining your findings so clearly. Super useful for me to better understand the context of our work in Bougainville.

It has taken a little while to catch up on the sad loss of Tony. I am Tony's cousin, Andrew Fraser. A very interesting article, containing many features I wasn't aware of regarding his many achievements and aims. Regards to all his family.

Hi' Thank you very much for the wonderful research done on issues relating to aid agencies support towards woman leaders in PNG specifically within Morobe Province. From my own point of view the construct idea that develops into the process of developing woman leaders should be contextualize in order to promote woman leadership potential in a more masculine dominate society. The concept should contemplate on the idea of woman values within the household and brought forward to a bigger spectrum. Culturally woman have their position in the community, leaders are formed in the womb of a woman thus significantly paints the picture of the value of a woman. If the aid agency look into how Melanesians value their woman folk and create a way forward that is relevant to the context than we can be able to emerge potential woman leaders in a male dominate society. THANKS & BLESSINGS

Hi James. It's really nice to connect with Colin's brother on his anniversary. I miss him so much too - doing this work without him is really hard, grindingly slow and vastly less joyful. He was a one in a million. It took me a long time to get better at living with his loss after my own brother passed (a long time ago). Thankfully the pain does recede eventually, but I completely agree, you never recover from the loss. I wish you and the family all the very best. xx Beth

Cool piece of reporting on ongoing research, James. Thank you!

Hi Fraser This is very good question for public consumption. To answer this question, the person named as next Prime Minister will not be substituted with any other person in the floor of the parliament in respect of the name of a person nominated as alternate Prime Minister. This in line with section 145 (3): "A motion of no confidence in the Prime Minister or the Ministry moved in accordance with subsection (2) (a) may not be amended in respect of the name of the person nominated as the next Prime Minister except by substituting the name of some other person". This means there cannot be nomination during the VONC, both government and opposition bring the numbers on the floor of the parliament to vote....

Thank you for this.. I am Colin’s brother. It will be a year today when we lost Colin. I still struggle. This is not something that you recover from, you get better at living with it. Reading this was a nice way to connect with him. Thank you.

Is there any information on the gender of the applicants? I just wrote a gender analysis on this visa for an ANU class...! Interested to know if there was a gendered bias.
