Rudd agrees to unknown millions for unknown facilities By Andrew Bolt A blank cheque for PNG in exchange for no facilities that are ready: PAPUA New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O’Neill says projects agreed to by Australia in exchange for expanding its asylum seeker processing capability have not been costed… Australia has a agreed to a raft of infrastructure programs in the university, roads, health and law and order sector. “The costings for the Ramu-Madang highway has not been done, design and costings for of course Lae hospital has not been done. So it costs into millions of Kina,” Mr O’Neill told journalists in Port Moresby… When asked where in PNG asylum seekers will be resettled under the plan he replied: “We’ll get there when we start processing them.” I have a strange feeling that this deal is no stronger than Rudd’s promise.
