A must-read piece for those implementing Australian aid funded programmes and those working in the development space in the Pacific. I read with much intrigue and totally concur with the two authors' (Dame Meg Taylor and Soli Middlebay) analysis of the Australian aid support to the Pacific and how it's delivery has lost its effectiveness and efficiency over the years owing to three key factors highlighted in this piece (extract below) Findings (by Taylor & Middlebay) We see three clear shifts in Australian aid over the last decade: (1) aid has become more politicized, deployed to support Australian interests; (2) aid has been increasingly privatized as much of the aid has been spent through four large Australian and international corporations—with local Pacific companies marginalized; and (3) aid has been increasingly contested by the peoples of the Pacific. Such changes have encouraged donors to tighten their grip on power. They have encouraged intermediaries to act as their agents, performing high levels of “interpretive labour.” They compete for donor custom and favour. Recipients of aid have been left with few options: they can comply with donors, thanking them for their generosity. They may resent the way they have been stripped of agency, perhaps looking to China for a different relationship. Aid of this character is not development. Rather, it is an unchecked donor-driven system, beset by excessive power and control to benefit the system and its agents. Such aid may result in some success, but it systematically fails to empower Pacific agency
For The Readout, Lab CEO Bridi Rice sat with Former Secretary General of the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat Dame Meg Taylor, and discussed her and Soli Middleby's piece on the nature of aid in the Pacific. Listen here 👉 https://ow.ly/sgox50QfmEk Read here 👉 https://ow.ly/t9ga50QfmEl

Human Rights' conditions Investigative research analyst, monitoring, documenting and reporting Human Rights' abuses.
Empowering Democracy: A Conversation with the Honourable Brian Peckford *** I am excited to hear about the special episode of Dialogue over Division featuring the Honourable Brian Peckford!** Mr. Peckford is a true Canadian icon, and his role in drafting the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is one of his many remarkable achievements. The Charter is a cornerstone of our democracy, and it has helped to protect and promote the rights and freedoms of all Canadians. I believe that Mr. Peckford's insights on the importance of being active and engaged in democracy are more important than ever before. In today's world, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the challenges facing our democracy. But it is important to remember that democracy is not a spectator sport. It requires the active participation of all citizens. There are many ways to get more active and involved in upholding democracy. Here are a few ideas: *** Educate yourself about the issues.** The more you know about the issues facing your community and country, the better equipped you will be to make informed decisions about who to vote for and what policies to support. *** Get involved in your community. There are many ways to do this, such as volunteering for a local organization, attending town hall meetings, or writing to your elected representatives. *** Vote in elections. This is the most fundamental way to participate in democracy. But don't just vote because you think you have to. Do your research and vote for the candidates and policies that you believe in. Canada deserves better, and it is up to all of us to make it happen. By getting more active and involved in democracy, we can help to ensure that our country remains a beacon of freedom and opportunity for all. Thank you for sharing this important message with me. I am looking forward to listening to the episode and learning more from Mr. Peckford.

Sociologist and geographer, Professor of Sociology, Director International Migration Institute, author of HOW MIGRATION REALLY WORKS
In the light of the 'asylum pact', it would be wise to reflect on the likelihood that the (rather predictable) effect of more stringent asylum policies is to drive more migration underground. See for instance this research paper by Czaika and Mogens. https://lnkd.in/eZeDRz_E
