DEVELOPING DECENT WORK CONDITIONS: A STUDY OF EMPLOYMENT LAW REFORM FROM VANUATU by Anita Jowitt A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © 2015 by Anita Jowitt, School of Law The University of the South Pacific November 2015 DECLARATION ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to my supervisor Miranda Forsyth. Thank you to people who took the time to comment on drafts, especially Howard Van Trease and Ted Hill. A number of people helped to make sure this was completed. Thank you to Robert Early, Howard Van Trease, John Lynch, Kenneth Chambers and Tess Newton Cain. This thesis was initially conceived following a conversation with the then Director of the Suva Office of the International Labour Organisation, Werner Blenk in 2009. It had been almost entirely written by January 2012, and was initially submitted in December 2012. Since the bulk of the work was completed I have had the privilege of using my academic work practically as a member of the Vanuatu Tripartite Labour Advisory Council. I have the greatest respect for all the people who have worked, and continue to work practically on employment law reforms in Vanuatu, including colleagues on the Vanuatu Tripartite Labour Advisory Council, International Labour Organisation advisors, members of the Vanuatu Chamber of Commerce and Industry and trade union representatives. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to take work done to meet academic requirements and use parts of it in practice, hopefully for the benefit of all. i ABSTRACT In November 2008 the Vanuatu parliament passed a Bill to amend the Employment Act [Cap 160] (the 2008 reform), which significantly increased benefits for employees. -

I extend a very warm welcome to you all and thank you for joining us to celebrate Australia’s national day. 1 I would like to especially thank the Acting President and the Prime Minister for coming this evening. This is a special year for Australia in Vanuatu. Almost exactly forty years to the day, on 28 January 1978, the Australian Government, with the Hon Andrew Peacock as the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, requested the Consul General to Noumea, Bill Fisher, establish an office in the (then) New Hebrides. Our office was located temporarily in the Intercontinental Hotel, now the Holiday Inn, then downtown in Melitco House. Bill Fisher was confirmed as the first Australian head of post and built the house where his successors, including me, have lived to this day. Bill is immensely proud of having served in Vanuatu in this formative period and is sorry that he could not be here today. -
Vanuatu's 2008 Election
Number 1/2009 Briefing Note Vanuatu’s 2008 Election - Difficulties of Government Formation in a Fractionalized Setting Three months after the 2nd September 2008 Vohor, leader of the opposition Union of Moderate election, Vanuatu was still without a stable Parties (UMP), switched allegiance and joined government. In the wake of the September polls, the VP/NUP alliance, backing Natapei as Prime there was intense manoeuvring by the major parties Minister. That accommodation, however, contained involving accusations of ‘member stealing’ and the seeds of its own undoing. To accommodate Vohor allegations of the exchange of large sums of money to secure support. A government led by Edward Natapei was formed on September 22 based upon a coalition between the Vanua’aku Pati (VP) and the National United Party (NUP). With a slim 27 to 25 majority in the country’s 52 seat Parliament, the new government immediately faced a succession of ‘no confidence’ challenges, each moved by frustrated opposition MPs who had missed out on positions in cabinet. Maxime Carlot Korman - Leader of the Opposition (VRP) and the UMP with offers of ministerial portfolios, the government dropped some members of the VP and NUP from cabinet. Four rebelled, and joined with the opposition to table another ‘no-confidence’ motion. By 26th of November, when the consequent vote was held, three had returned to the governing coalition. Together with several independents, they enabled Natapei’s government to survive its second Ham Lini on the left (NUP - Deputy PM) and Edward Natapei on the right (VP - Prime Minister) challenge. Two days later, a third ‘no confidence’ motion was tabled. -
