The Australian budget wont focus significantly on our role in PNG and the South Pacific - that will take time

By Jeffrey Wall - posted Friday, 21 October 2022

The only figure I will be looking for in the budget documents is the total provisions for PNG and individual South Pacific countries.

If in a tough fiscal environment there is a modest increase in development assistance and other funding we should be satisfied.

The government deserves time to reassess what we fund in our region.
