  • Papua New Guinea's Emergent Longline Fishery
    Papua New Guinea's emergent longline fishery Two Hawaii-based fishing vessels are currently participating in the longline fishery in Papua New Guinea (PNG), in the south west tropical Pacific. The two vessels, which fish in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands for lobsters are on charter in PNG between lobster fishing seasons. PNG is one of the largest Pacific nations, straddling Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, with one of the largest EEZs in the region and abundant tuna resources. Like the rest of the Pacific, PNG is keen to expand its longline fishing industry for the lucrative fresh tuna market in Japan. Fishing trials in 1994 and 1995 in Rabaul, Finchaven and the capital city, Port Moresby, demonstrated the feasibility of a domestic fishery in PNG; although the productivity of the resource was evident from the long history of fishing in PNG waters by Korean, Taiwanese and Japanese longliners. From 1994 onwards various local companies began to establish fishing operations at various ports throughout the country, but with most activity centered around Port Moresby. A longline fishery management plan was developed by the National Fisheries Authority in 1995, which included a ban on foreign longliners operating in the PNG EEZ. Licensing guidelines were also introduced which included a minimum of 51% PNG equity in joint ventures, and short-term charter of foreign vessels to PNG companies on a 1:1 basis with the number of local vessels in a company fleet. Presently there are 20 longliners operating in PNG, with the majority of vessels being based in Port Moresby. Fishing companies outside of the capital include one in Alotau and the two others in PNG=s second city Lae.

  • Key Findings and Recommendations
    UNHCR FACT SHEET ON SITUATION OF REFUGEES AND ASYLUM-SEEKERS ON MANUS ISLAND, PAPUA NEW GUINEA 15 December 2017 Key Findings and Recommendations Operational Context 3,172 refugees and asylum-seekers have been forcibly transferred by Australia to ‘offshore processing’ facilities in Papua New Guinea and Nauru since the introduction of the current policy in 2013.1 Of these, some 800 remain in Papua New Guinea. Following the Australia-United States relocation arrangement, UNHCR has referred more than 1,200 refugees to the United States of America since December 2016. Another 500 people still require a review of their refugee status determination process by authorities in Papua New Guinea and Nauru, under the Australian arrangement. Long-term solutions remain needed for all people transferred by Australia to Papua New Guinea and Nauru. Neither Papua New Guinea nor Nauru are appropriate places for local integration for the majority of refugees and asylum-seekers, particularly given their acute needs as a result of prolonged detention and harsh conditions. PROTECTION Key Findings ■ Physical security remains a serious concern at Ward 1 of Lorengau, Manus Island, where both West Lorengau Haus and Hillside Haus are located. On the night of Saturday 9 to Sunday 10 December 2017, three separate incidents occurred in which aggrieved local residents approached these facilities and threatened refugees and asylum-seekers. This follows previous similar incidents on 17 November 2017 and 7 December 2017. 1 Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee, Parliament of Australia, Additional Estimates Hearing, AE17/170, 27 February 2017. www.unhcr.org 1 ■ The findings below are derived from consistent reports by refugees and asylum-seekers, local community members, locally contracted security staff and local police authorities.

  • Migration Amendment (Repairing Medical Transfers) Bill 2019 by Dr Tanya Mcintyre, 15 August 2019
    Submission to the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee inquiry into the Migration Amendment (Repairing Medical Transfers) Bill 2019 by Dr Tanya McIntyre, 15 August 2019 Submission overview and concerns This submission outlines my views on refugees and asylum seekers 1 in need of medical evacuation from Papua New Guinea and Nauru to Australia, as enabled by the Home Affairs Legislation Amendment (Miscellaneous Measures) Act 2019 , referred to herein as the “medevac law”. I am concerned that people who are physically and mentally unwell are denied medical treatment. I am appalled that this is done to uphold government policy that is explicit in its aim to inflict ongoing harm on one group of people to try to compel them to return to the harm they fled as refugees, and to warn others of the harm they would also suffer if they try to seek refuge in Australia. I am concerned about this brutal and inhumane treatment of refugees. It does not befit the fair, democratic and compassionate principles that we like to think underpin Australian society and polity. My experience with refugees in Australia’s offshore detention regime In 2012 I began visiting refugees in Australian immigration detention. In 2014 I completed a Graduate Certificate in Australian Migration Law and Practice. My other credentials include a PhD in Asian studies. Since 2014 I have met and communicated with refugees detained by Australia on Nauru and Manus Island after 19 July 2013 when offshore detention became more than a temporary processing regime and became a feature of the practice of permanent exile of people who sought protection in Australia.
