I was happy to see that June started off with some much needed rain. Our New Jersey rivers are getting mighty low, mighty slow, and worst of all, mighty warm. Please, if you fish where water temperatures are over 70 degrees, use barbless hooks and bring the fish in and release them as quickly as possible. Fishing in New Jersey has been exceptional these last two months, but it will only continue throughout the year if we are careful.
Thanks again to Ed Sinning and his crew for float stocking the Flatbrook this spring. I've heard lots of folks say how nice it is to have the fish spread out..
My thanks to Mike Maher and his crew who had to work "overtime" to clean up "our" Berkshire Valley Road stretch of the Rockaway River on May 16th. It happens that on the same day many other stretches of the Rockaway were cleaned up by various local groups.
The Sparta Glen Brook Restoration project continues to move forward. Our Permit Application was sent to the DEP on May 19th. We had a booth at Sparta Day on May 16th. Sue reports that while cash donations were minimum, we were able to make many excellent contacts. Tim Good introduced the CEO of Eastern Propane to the project and Assemblyman Parker Space indicated that he would help us move our permit application through the process, if necessary. Last, we have scheduled to make a presentation of our project to the Sparta Kiwanis club on July 9th.
The Ausable River trip is scheduled for June 12, 13 and 14. Warren assures me that the Trout Gods assured him that the river would not be blown out this year and a good time was in store for everybody.
Other summer activities include:
· Running the Jefferson Day Fishing Derby on July 11th at Weldon Pond
· Participating in the Sussex County Fair on August 3rd
· A chapter picnic at Camp Mohican on August 15th
Finally, Our speaker for the June membership meeting is Chris Stewart. Chris calls himself the Tenkara Bum. If you're thinking about trying tenkara fishing, you've got to hear Chris' presentation.

The low resolution of early music videos – revolutionary in their time but primitive by today's standards – is a warning to contemporary content creators.
XR Killed the Television Star
Remember the moment when MTV changed the music industry? It was Saturday, August 1, 1981, when the network broadcast their first music video – Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles.
In I Want My MTV, The Buggles' songwriter and lead singer, Trevor Horn, writes: "It came from this idea that technology was on the verge of changing everything. Video recorders had just come along, which changed people's lives. We'd see people starting to make videos as well, and we were excited by that. It felt like radio was the past and video was the future. There was a shift coming."
With the rise of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality technologies (XR), we're beginning to see a comparable shift. There are some lessons about media innovation to be learned from MTV and The Buggles. Just as video killed the radio star, XR is killing flatscreens. Additionally, the low resolution of these early music videos – revolutionary in their time but primitive by today's standards – is a warning to contemporary content creators.
Unless XR creators shoot high-resolution video masters, their media will become obsolete when headset and camera resolution improve.
Resolution matters, especially for virtual reality
Resolution will continue to increase, just like we have seen with music videos jumping from 320 x 160 to 4K. As the next round of HMDs show up with higher resolution, the number of required pixels will grow very quickly. This is great news for intensifying the experience of immersion and presence, but poses some challenges for content creators.
Most VR video content is currently shot in 4K, which is the widely accepted standard for digital media delivery in the film and video production industry. While 4K content may look flawless on your HD flatscreen, it will be soft and blurry in VR.
Why? Because in your VR goggles, 4K video stretches to about 1K per eye.
The Case for 8K Masters
4K video appears fuzzy and pixelated, even in 2K headsets. Worse yet, it won't be possible to upgrade your masters to match the native resolution of the next generation of headsets.
If you master at 8K, your content will look better in today and tomorrow's headsets.
After your source material exceeds headset resolution, more pixels aren't actually displayed, but more image detail contributes to the final presentation. The difference in clarity is dramatic when comparing 8K and 4K content in a 2K headset.
We've developed a VR video delivery system for our SPIN Studio platform that utilizes Field of View Adaptive Streaming (FOVAS) to save bandwidth and optimizes huge media files into streamable bit rates. FOVAS projects the master into a series of 30 frustum-shaped streams that switch to maximize resolution depending on network speed and where the viewer is looking. Currently SPIN Studio accommodates up to 10K masters and FOVAS will handle source resolution up to 16K. We deliver the most resolution an HMD can deliver, with low latency switching of under 1/4 of a second between viewports on PC-based platforms, like Vive and Oculus, and minimal latency of under ½ of a second on mobile.
Let's walk through an example of how FOVAS handles an 8K master. When watching a VR video, the viewer typically has a 120-degree field of view. We begin with a resolution that is greater—8K—than what a 2K headset can handle and encode a focused portion of that for each field-of-view. By oversampling the view, we make sure you don't see aliasing and are able to deliver maximum native resolution across any headset in market today. For an 8K master, FOVAS encodes to meet native HMD resolution equivalent to a 1920 x 1280 video stream, or roughly 7% of the pixels from the 8K stream.
You'll see amazing results on SPIN Studio when you upload 6K or 8K master files.
The above image is a simulation of streaming resolution.
Optimize your content for today and protect for tomorrow
Ideally, creators should finish at the highest resolution their capture system can provide. More pixels means more rendering time and more time for detail work. As with anything, there is a tradeoff of quality and time. SPIN Studio utilizes the cloud so you don't have to make that tradeoff. Instead of spending hours rendering with desktop tools, you'll get quality results in minutes.
The lesson from MTV and The Buggles? Protect your content by shooting in as high of resolution as you can afford, so that your work lasts through the shifts to come. No one's killing your VR star on our watch!

As with their art, Italians have always enjoyed a stellar reputation in the design arena. The term 'Italian design' encompasses a wide range of creative endeavors, from fashion to furniture. Here are a few of the categories of Italian design that have caught the attention of an international clientele:
Italian Fashion
While Milan is considered the Italian fashion capital, many of Italy's top designers hail from other regions. Valentino began his career in Florence, before descending on Paris to conquer the French fashion world. Gianni Versace was born in Calabria, and Domenico Dolce, of Dolce and Gabbana fame, is a native of Sicily. Along with Giorgio Armani, Guccio Gucci and countless others, they have made the term Italian fashion synonymous with style and flair.
Related categories include Italian shoes, Italian handbags, purses and luggage, Italian sunglasses, Italian lingerie and Italian jewelry, all of which are highly sought after by fashionistas worldwide.
To read more about Italian fashion, please visit Italian Fashion Designers.
Italian Cars
The Italian automobile industry produces some of the most prestigious sports cars on the planet. Think Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini. While Fiat dominates the car industry nationally, the sports car manufacturers have a 'sexier' image, attracting high-income clients and celebrities. Italian race cars were traditionally painted race red (or rosso corsa), which was the customary national racing color of Italy.
Related categories would include Italian motorcycles, dominated by Ducati, Italian bicycles, and the Italian Vespa, which has been regaining popularity after a decades-long slump in sales.
To read more about Italian cars, please visit Italian Car Designers.
Italian Interiors
Italian-designed kitchen and bathroom fittings are in great demand worldwide. These include counter tops, cabinets, wall units, tiles and tap fittings, as well as soft furnishings such as curtains, wallpaper and rugs. Floor coverings such as Italian marble and wood are also popular.
Italian dinnerware and glassware enjoy a high demand.
Italian Furniture
Popular Italian furniture includes bedroom suites and closets, bar furniture, living room furniture such as couches, chairs and coffee tables, dining room suites, bookshelves and doors.
Italian office furniture is also highly regarded.

Assist programs that work to ensure reliable power supply to rural and urban populations. The focus is on energy access, installed electricity generation capacity, and overall electric power consumption. Support will include the following:
New photovoltaic panels or "micro-grids" and thermal technologies.
Assist initiatives that enhance rural and urban health care facilities and capacities; provide training to health professionals; promote access to health care services, including effective prevention of diseases.
We respect the diversity of value systems and will assist efforts that encourage a strong sense of self-identity through culture, including oral history research, cultural heritage beliefs, cultural landscapes, institutions, popular theater, cultural and symbolic systems.
Support initiatives that empower women, men and youths, including vocational skills training and life skills training; promote equal access and control of economic assets; and enhance entrepreneurial capacities of all groups so they can succeed as leaders in business and trade.
Understand that each country has a different development constraint and as such may not be a suitable recipient for the same technology. Where technology is deemed appropriate, there must be a corresponding level of skills for utilizing it. To this end, we support efforts that introduce appropriate and affordable technology into rural areas.
Support initiatives that develop and sustain rural marketplaces; strengthen farmer-to- market linkages, including good roads that facilitate transportation of goods from rural to urban centers; assist farmer organizations to be more productive; promote agricultural trade in domestic, regional, and international markets; improve food security; and increase the capacity of associations, cooperatives, private enterprises, and nongovernmental organizations.

I've helped a couple of friends book flights recently and they had zero idea that you can earn between 4.4% and 5.14% cash back every time they book a flight. Perhaps you didn't know that either….here's how: (with screenshots!)
For Chase Sapphire Preferred cardholders, the Chase Ultimate Rewards Mall offers 2X points when you book your travel through Travelocity. Doing the math: you earn 2X points when you use the Sapphire Preferred for booking travel. You earn 2X points by booking on Travelocity through the Mall. When you redeem Ultimate Rewards points for travel booked through their travel portal you get an extra 25% bonus, so 40,000 points can be used to pay for $500 worth of travel. Plus you get 7% back for the points you spend each year. Whew. That works out to 5.28% cash back (good for travel) when you book your flights through Travelocity this way.
Now I know others consider using your points to buy travel to be a poor use of points. Sometimes that's true, but sometimes it's not. It may make sense for car rentals. It can make sense for hotels without points programs. It can make sense for coach airfare if the fare requires fewer points to outright purchase with UR points than to redeem a standard award (in other words: if a ticket to Europe is $625, it would require 50,000 Ultimate Rewards points to purchase; or 60,000 Ultimate Rewards points if you transferred them to United). It can make sense for inter-island trips in Hawaii. It makes no sense for business class.
They don't make it wildly obvious to get to their shopping portal. Log in at ultimaterewards.com, then choose "Earn Faster" and click Earn Points at the Bonus Mall. On that page, click on the Travelocity logo (screenshots will help):
Another option is the The Barclays Arrival Card, which offers 2% cash back (when you redeem their points for a travel purchase) and a 10% points bonus when you redeem the points. So you effectively earn 2.2% cash back with each purchase. You may not have noticed that Barclays also has a mall and also offers 2X points when you buy airfare through Travelocity. Booking your airfare this way earns 4.4% cash back. Here's how you do it: Log in to your Barclays account and make sure you click on the Arrival card in your account. Then click on "Rewards Boost" and search for Travelocity on that page.
It may not make sense to book your travel this way if you have no status on the airline you're traveling and you need to check bags. If you have no status but you have the credit card for the airline you're traveling (I have this situation coming up with a trip on Delta), you're best off just using the airline's card to save yourself the baggage fees.
And remember: you do NOT need to use a Chase card to earn the bonus points when you purchase through their mall (that is true with Barclays as well). You will earn the points regardless of which card you use.

Wild Men of the Woods
- / Wild Man of the WoodsA name for the Drúedain in Rohan.At the end of the Third Age, a remnant of the Drúedain still lived beneath the feet of the White Mountains, and in the lands westward.Theirs was a strange and ancient race of Men, with an unusual affinity with nature, and unique powers. The Northmen who settled in Rohan, though, knew nothing of their ancestry and imagined them to be hardly more than beasts, at least until the time of the War of the Ring. For this reason the Rohirrim called them the Wild Men of the Woods.

The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Böhm Bawerk, Eugen von
BÖHM (bėm) BAWERK, Eugen von, Austrian economist and statesman: b. Brünn, 12 Feb. 1851. He studied law in Vienna and political economy and social science at the universities of Heidelberg, Leipzig and Jena. In 1880 he became privatdocent in the University of Vienna, later assistant professor at Innsbrück and professor there in 1884. He was next chief of department in the Ministry of Finance and in 1895 became Minister. In 1897 he was Ambassador at the German court and in 1904 became, for the second time, Minister of Finance. In 1899 he was elevated to the Upper Chamber; in 1907 became vice-president and in 1911 president of the Academy of Science. He is honorary professor of political economy in the University of Vienna. Böhm-Bawerk's greatest influence has been wielded in the field of economics to which he has contributed many works of the greatest merit, which have raised discussion to a high level and have been a constant and powerful stimulus to investigation in this important field. His 'Geschichte und Kritik der Kapitalzins-Theorien,' was a notable contribution to the critical literature of economic science. It was made available for English students in 1890 by Prof. William Smart of Glasgow. In the United States it has had a great vogue. Abundant proofs of Böhm-Bawerk's influence are furnished by our literature. A glance at the files of the Political Science Quarterly, the Quarterly Journal of Economics and the Annals indicates that a large proportion of the articles treating of economic theory are either directly upon some phase of Böhm-Bawerk's work or theories, or have been clearly influenced, if not directly inspired, by them. He is a proponent of the separate existence of the abstinence and the use theories of capital and interest and opposes the theory of productivity. His works include, in addition to the work mentioned above, 'Karl Marx and the Close of His System' (a criticism, London 1898); 'The Positive Theory of Capital and its Critics' (in Quarterly Journal of Economics, April 1895); 'Recent Literature on Interest, 1884-1899' (Eng. trans. by W. A. Scott, New York 1903).

(CNN) - A Massachusetts judge Friday rejected a request from state Republicans to delay the appointment of Paul Kirk as the late Sen. Ted Kennedy's interim replacement.
Kirk was formally appointed to the post Thursday, a day after the Massachusetts legislature approved a measure allowing for Gov. Deval Patrick to name an interim replacement until a special election is held in January.
But the legislation was not set take effect until 90 days, and Republicans argued Patrick exceeded his power by formally declaring an 'emergency' and appointing Kirk immediately. Massachusetts Assistant Attorney General Peter Sacks argued on behalf of the governor, saying previous rulings have made clear Patrick has broad authority to declare an emergency as he see fits.
Judge Thomas Connolly dismissed the case after hearing arguments from both sides Friday morning.
Kirk will be sworn in by Vice President Joe Biden Friday afternoon.
This is a sad day indeed when Ted Kennedy himself introduced the legislation to prevent this very thing from happening should John Kerry become president. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, the policy is suddenly reversed. Non-partisanship under a new administration? Hardly. It leads one to wonder if this could be one of the causes of the sudden popularity of the new movement.
Republicans should do what the dems did in Texas assembly quite some years ago. The Dems left and went to another state. In our case the republicants should leave for anohter state, but not return! 🙂
Massachussets is a laughing stock, they can't get out of their own way.
Why because he is not a Kennedy?
2010 can't get here fast enough...so much for 'draining the swamp.
What emergency?
Having your party temporarily lose it's filibuster proof number in the senate is NOT an emergency. This is just one more example of Democrats making rules and breaking them before the ink is dry.
For the record, the reason Massachusetts did not have a rule allowing the governor to appoint a replacement is because of a bill passed by Massachusetts Democrats 5 years ago.
You see, Mitt Romney was governor at the time and John Kerry, the junior Senator, had a decent shot at vacating his seat for a bigger chair. Terrified that the Governor might appoint a Republican to replace Kerry, Massachusetts Democrats passed a law requiring a special election. Now that there is a Democrat in office, Massachusetts Democrats don't need to limit his power anymore and therefore are changing the rule again.
And the funny part is...
Even after changing the rule to suit their own purposes, they still break it by waiting 89 days less than is required to act on the new rule.
Just out of curiosity, how stupid do Democrats think we are?
"MA judge denies GOP request to delay Kirk appointment"
Of course he would. This is news? Partisan politics at its filthiest.
Yes. Because he is only another Kennedy.
Gee! these Republicans are really desperate!!
It never ceases to amaze me that the republicians have no spine, when it comes to elections. We've had Gore vs Bush the outcome the was biggest Heist the GOP has pulled off. Then we get Al franken Vs Norm Coleman another GOP debackle. Sarah Palin goes on record saying that Ted Stevens should get a special election because he lost? Let me give some free advice to the GOP. We win elections in this country when you get more votes than your rival.... This country will no longer be as great as it's been. If we let our elections become similar to what happens in Iran! This country is great due to our free speech, freedom of press etc. But there are some repubilicans that want to muzzle the mouths and rights of those they oppose
The Republicians just never know when to stop. Their whole party should be thrown out of congress, Sure would make a better world.
That makes me feel real good to know that this guy is going decide the future for me and my kids. What a joke Massachusetts is, they don't even get to elect who they want to represent them. I guess democracy is dead in that state.
WTG judge Connelly. To hell with the party of "no".
Wow! Hypocrisy in action!. I love the photo you chose to use which shows Kerry in the background. Kennedy used his warped political influence to have the Mass. Legislature change the law so that a Republican Governor could not replace Kerry's potential empty seat and then that same legislature gives the exact same power back to the Democratic governor. Why does Massachusetts even have a legislature? Just let the Senator make all the laws. Even from the grave!
Republicants do NOT want health care reform. They just want delay, delay,delay. Losers....
now lets get busy

No surprise the Republicans tried to stop this just like they did with Al Frankin and President Obama's replacement for IL
They are such poor losers. They will lie, cheat and terrorize people to try to hang on to power. I am happy to see the Democrats back to the magic 60. Now it might be possible to get something done.
What a shock, more Democrats working the system the way they want it instead of what's in the best interest of Americans. You don't like the rules, you change them, then you don't like your new rules and find a loophole around them. Classy act, that progressive party. Makes the Mafia look like school children when it comes to ethics and corruption.
This is the same party that can't throw Rangel out after 10 months of investigations.
Typical Republican obstructionism. They kept Minnesota from having 2 Senators for 9 months because their candidate would not concede his obvious defeat. Now they want MA to be without 2 senators as well.
They are SO NEGATIVE and DESTRUCTIVE to our nation. They do nothing to help America, just block all progessive legislation, and try to tear the country apart with their lies and fear tactics.
And they claim to have "values". Trying to cause our President and our country to fail for political games is no American value. They are unpatriotic and dishonorable. Since they contribute nothing to America's success and recovery, it's time to get rid of more these constantly negative do-nothings in 2010. Republicans do not work for the People who elected them but for the insurance industry and all greed corporations who abuse Americans.
MA deserves proper representation replacing a Democrat with a Democrat.
The rest of the nation deserves intelligent and hard-working members of Congress who will work for US. That is very clearly not any Republican.
Just watch healthcare. They will still claim they are for reform but they will whine ans criticize all the way and then all vote NO. Why is it they all use government-run single payor healthcare but refuse to let Americans have access to the same excellent coverage they readily use???? They are hypocrites who cannot be trusted.
More than 70% of Americans want real reform that INCLUDES the PUBLIC OPTION – just like what these Senators have – but they think they are more entitled than us and deserve what they will not let Americans also benefit from. All that vote against reform with the public option should have their goverment healthcare jerked away from them and let them live in the private insurance world hell like the rest of us!
The Party of No trying to delay again? Shocking I tell you–healthcare obstructionists would never do that (end sarcasm).
I take it the judge gave a reason why he denied the GOP request right? Probably because the Guv has authoritiy to call an 'emergency' when he sees fit.
Can anyone honestly look at this with a straight face and not see obvoius corruption? Isnt this the same state where they changed the law so Romney couldnt appoint someone if Kerry won the election, now change it back again when its a Democrat govenor????
Someone throw those nasty Republicans out of office! They've proven they do NOTHING for the people...only their party. I'm tired of Republicans wasting our tax dollars!
Good for Mass. and Kirk! Hurray!
A roadblock from the Repubs !!!!!! --- Just another NO from the party of NO.. It surprises NObody
Idiot_Pelosi – The shoe was on the other foot for the previous eight years. How does it feel?
The governor should have waited the 90 days, but the judicial branch in MA ruled in the executives favor. Activist judge?
Did the dems try to slow things down or obstruct the repub agenda in the 1990's. Sure. Did the republicans pay that back seven fold in the past two years? Oh yeah, and then some.
Republican party holds a grudge like I've never seen before. Never underestimate the rage, anger, resentment and ill will that possesses the RNC and it's members.

Outstanding Article Discussing What Sarah Palin And Hillary Clinton Brought To The Political And Social Arena
Posted by M.Joseph Sheppard At Palin4President2016 on November 17, 2012
Here is an outstanding article discussing what Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton brought to the political and social arena through their various strengths and forbearance in the face of intense and unfair pressure.
By Linda Baeil writing at the San Diego North Country Times
What's behind GOP's problem with women voters
What do women want? This is one question Republican candidates and strategists must be asking in the wake of the 2012 election. A 10-point gender gap, the largest since 1996, gave President Obama a thin margin of victory. While women gained a record number of seats in the House and Senate, the number of those congresswomen who are Republicans dropped from nearly one-third to less than a quarter on election night.
The perception of a Republican "War on Women" may be overblown. But the disconnect with women voters in policy and rhetoric, and the absence of women candidates in the presidential race from either party, might cause us to reflect on the debates and issues that engaged women in 2008.
Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin not only served as role models who cracked the glass ceiling of presidential election politics, they also embodied different perspectives and choices regarding women in leadership. Clinton's experiences of media coverage in the Democratic primary demonstrated the continuing double-bind women candidates find themselves in with regard to gendered assumptions about power. In order to be perceived as competent, she downplayed traditional femininity and was seen as having a "likability problem." When she teared up in a New Hampshire coffee shop, women voters responded positively to her feminine display of emotion, but it reinforced all of the pundits' fears and questions about female leadership as tough enough for the Oval Office.
For her part, Palin brought the "mommy wars" and conversations about what it means to be a good mother into the national spotlight, and women across the electorate responded. Palin did not just give voice to a pro-life position on abortion; she embodied it – while also claiming to be a feminist. Cradling her Down syndrome infant at campaign rallies, Palin scrambled the notion that women candidates and voters are pro-choice; she was applauded by Republicans' social conservative base because she herself had made the choice to carry her pregnancy to term at great personal cost. Palin also presented a new face of the Republican Party: one of a young working mother.
As questions arose about her seriousness and policy knowledge, Palin faced a familiar dilemma both for female candidates and women in society: being dismissed as merely attractive, valued for sexuality but not intelligence. While Sarah Palin was the Voldemort of the 2012 election, "She Who Must Not Be Named," and dismissed by most pundits as an embarrassing mistake by John McCain, the phenomenon of Palin in the 2008 and 2010 elections might clue her party in to some of what was lacking this year.
In 2012, Republicans have been criticized repeatedly for comments made about women – from Rush Limbaugh's calling Sandra Fluke a "slut" for seeking insurance coverage of contraception to Senate candidate Todd Akin's comments about "legitimate rape." Many of the sound bites in this election season spoke about women as if they were reducible down to their reproductive organs.
In the 21st century, women – conservative or liberal – view themselves as much more than this. In an economy when most families need both working parents just to make ends meet, and 40 percent of women contribute as much or more to their family's income than men, these essentializing assumptions appear antiquated and tone-deaf. Silence on issues of pay equity only reinforces this perception among women – particularly young women and single moms – that the Republican Party may not see them as the strong and multidimensional citizens that they are.
In 2008, the presence of Palin on the ticket, and her juxtaposition with the narratives of other women like Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama, offered women an opportunity to discuss issues that are complex and relevant to their lives: motherhood, sexuality, work, family, power and femininity. Sarah Palin should not be ignored as simply a failed candidate. Her "hockey mom" persona offered one possible image of power with a womanly face: pit bull aggressiveness with feminine lipstick. Palin may have been our first "third wave" feminist candidate, posing the contradictions of women's progress and its limits in our political sphere. Palin's embodiment of those paradoxes did more to energize women voters – both those who loved her and loathed her – than all of Mitt Romney's "binders full of women." If only we had had such compelling narratives of women and power in this election.

If you have a new credit card, one reason you might have gotten it is so that you can use it to finance purchases you might otherwise have had a hard time making. You may also have secured the card to help you rebuild your credit standing.
If that's the case, there are a few things you should know about how to manage that account to boost your score as quickly as possible. Perhaps the most important thing is to only use your card for payments that you don't make every day. Putting lunch or a cup of coffee on your credit card might get you into bad spending habits and cause you to put more debt onto the card than you can reasonably afford. In fact, you might want to consider only spending as much on the card as you can pay back every month to keep yourself headed in the right direction.
Along those same lines, if you do end up racking up more debt than you can pay back in a single month, it's important that you at least pay back more than the minimum. Again, this is to ensure that you don't get into bad habits, because only paying the minimum every month will keep you in debt much longer than you'd probably like.
As a general rule of thumb, you should try to keep your debt to 10 percent or less of your card's total credit limit. That's because 30 percent of your credit rating is based on just the amount of credit you use at any given time, and the less you utilize, the better. There is a myth that lenders want you to have at least some debt outstanding all the time, but it's not true; the closer your balance is to zero, the better off you'll be both financially and in terms of a maintaining a strong credit rating.
Of course, when you're opening a new credit card account, you should take a look at all the ways in which it might affect your finances. Consider things like whether you're able to make all the payments you need to—on time and in full—as well as if it might affect your ability to pay other bills.

30 September 2015
This Aid Investment Plan (AIP) sets the strategic framework for the provision of Official Development Assistance (ODA) administered by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to Papua New Guinea (PNG). Other Australian Government agencies will provide strategic input to policy development and oversight programs in particular sectors in consultation with DFAT. The purpose of this AIP is to inform discussions between the Government of PNG and the Government of Australia to develop an Aid Partnership between our two countries. This AIP will be updated to reflect the finalisation and the signing of the Aid Partnership where appropriate.
Australia implements an integrated set of foreign, trade, security and development policies to advance our interests in PNG. It is in Australia's interest to support PNG's development to economic prosperity.
Australia values its longstanding ties with PNG – we have a shared history and a shared geography. As our nearest neighbour and close regional partner, a stable and prosperous PNG is clearly in Australia's interest. In 2015, PNG celebrates the 40th anniversary of its independence. Over time, our relationship has matured into one of economic and strategic partnership, and in March 2014 we signed a new Economic Cooperation Treaty.
Australia has consistently been PNG's largest aid donor but our relationship is evolving, reflecting a more mature, focused and innovative response to PNG's development needs.
In line with the recommendations of a 2014 PNG Aid Assessment (A new direction for aid in PNG: refocusing Australian aid to help unlock PNG's economic potential), and consistent with the objectives of the Economic Cooperation Treaty, Australian aid will be aligned with PNG and Australian Government priorities to ensure our aid program delivers assistance that supports sustainable economic growth and equitable development in PNG.
PNG has experienced robust economic growth for over a decade, with expanding formal employment opportunities and strong growth in government expenditure and revenues.
This economic performance has been driven by high international prices for PNG's mining and agricultural exports, and in more recent years construction activity related to the liquefied natural gas (LNG) project. In 2015, PNG's gross domestic product (GDP) growth is estimated at 11 per cent on the strength of the first full year of LNG exports, although non-mining GDP growth estimates remains more subdued at a forecast 3.3 per cent.
Given PNG's dependence on the natural resources sector, it now faces significant fiscal challenges with declining international commodity prices and increasing public debt levels.
PNG's strong overall growth has not translated into equitable development for Papua New Guineans. PNG's poor law and order, lack of infrastructure, complex governance arrangements, weak public service, inequality between men and women, poor health and education services, and rapidly growing population are challenges to its future prosperity.
PNG is vulnerable to natural disasters including earthquakes, volcano eruptions, and extreme weather events, such as droughts. Natural disasters can take a severe human toll, reverse development gains, and impede economic growth. Disaster risk is taken into consideration for decisions on aid investments, and Australia is ready to help PNG respond to emergencies should it request our assistance.
PNG will not meet any of the Millennium Development Goals. Over three million people– or 40 per cent of the population - remain poor and/or face hardship:
Despite these development challenges, PNG is seeking to achieve upper middle-income country status by 2050 (Vision 2050). Sector priorities, as set out in the PNG Government's 2012 Alotau Accord, include education, health, law and justice, infrastructure and sustainable economic growth. PNG's economic growth agenda focuses upon investments in 'high impact infrastructure' - key roads, ports, power, and hospitals; job skills development; and partnering with the private sector, including supporting its role in service delivery.
PNG has a strong focus on improving service delivery at the local level through the introduction of District Development Authorities (DDAs). While this process is intended to consolidate greater financial resources at the district level, providing effective assistance at the sub-national level may be challenging.
PNG's decade of economic expansion has led to a reduction in the comparative size of Australian aid. At independence in 1975, Australian aid represented 40 per cent of PNG's budget, but today it represents around 8 per cent, even as Australia remains PNG's largest bilateral aid donor. As such, Australia's aid investment must increasingly focus on assisting PNG to mobilise its own resources for equitable growth and human development.
The Australian Government contribution to development in PNG is valued at approximately 68 per cent of total Official Development Assistance. The other bilateral donor countries are New Zealand, Japan, the European Union, and the United States of America. It is likely that China will play a more significant and active role as an emerging donor in the future. Multilateral partners are critical to development in PNG including, the Asia Development Bank, the World Bank and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
The Australian aid program in PNG is currently implemented in accordance with the PNG-Australia Partnership for Development and the Joint Understanding between Australia and Papua New Guinea on further bilateral cooperation on Health, Education and Law and Order. Together, these set out the mutually agreed priorities and commitments for Australia and PNG to work together to improve development outcomes for all Papua New Guineans. The 2014 PNG Aid Assessment considered ways in which Australia's aid program could more closely align with both Governments' priorities. This included options to better address key constraints to economic growth and equitable development in PNG. The recommendations of this assessment were agreed by the Australian and PNG Governments and represent a strategic shift in Australia's approach to aid in PNG. Consistent with the directions as set out in Australia's aid policy Australian aid: promoting prosperity, reducing poverty, enhancing stability, this shift in Australia's aid investments will guide where and how Australian aid is spent in PNG in the coming years.
Given PNG's sovereign responsibility and financial ability to undertake basic service delivery, Australia is increasingly focusing its efforts in the health, education, infrastructure and law and justice sectors to further develop PNG's own capacity to deliver services to its population using its own resources.
As part of the shift in Australia's aid investment agreed between our two Governments, we will increase initiatives focused on private sector-led growth and aid for trade to 30 per cent of the program over the next three years.
We are also increasing partnerships with the private sector. This will include increased engagement with business. Australia is also increasing support to initiatives that empower women to take on greater leadership roles in public and community life, and participate in the economy.
Recognising the importance of the rule of law and effective governance to PNG's prosperity, we will augment our policing and public sector capacity building assistance.
Our aid investments in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville will support the effective implementation of autonomy arrangements under the Bougainville Peace Agreement.
As agreed between the Australian and PNG Governments, aid investments in Bougainville will rise.
From 2015-16 to 2017-18, Australia's aid program in PNG will encompass the following three strategic, and interlinked, objectives which are in line with PNG's priorities and where Australia can add value:
As a cross-cutting issue, all programs will effectively integrate gender equality.
Governance affects virtually all aspects of a country's prosperity. An effective public sector and functioning, predictable institutions provide the foundations for economic growth, private sector investment and trade.
PNG continues to experience weak capacity at all levels of the bureaucracy, severely limiting its ability to set policy and implement high priority programs. This impacts the achievement of outcomes across all sectors. There is little accountability and transparency in planning and budgetary decision-making. State-society relationships are weak, with limited opportunities for civil society engagement with government. There are an estimated 110,000 public servants in PNG across the national, provincial, district and local government levels, but the capacity of government to deliver services is being challenged at all levels.
Australia will continue to assist PNG to build an effective public service by partnering with the PNG Government to establish a new Pacific Leadership and Governance Precinct, and investment in government-to-government advisory support.
The Precinct will see support provided to the University of PNG and the PNG Institute of Public Administration, with a view to establishing high performing professional PNG institutions that promote and strengthen the core capabilities and ethical behaviours of the public sector in PNG. In particular, the Precinct will support the Government of PNG to progress its commitments to gender equity and social inclusion.
Australia will complement this by increasing engagement with PNG champions who support reforms for more accountable and better functioning national and sub-national governments. The Australian Bureau of Statistics is assisting the PNG National Statistics Office to improve its governance and leadership, and the collection and release of economic data. Support will also be provided to the PNG Government to prepare for the General Elections in 2017
Australia will also support more effective partnerships and working arrangements between the PNG Government and the private sector, civil society, NGOs, and churches, to help meet communities' needs.
An effective law and justice system is fundamental to the authority of the state. Weak governance and under-resourcing means that the capability of law and justice agencies, including the police, has not kept pace with population growth and increasing criminal caseloads. PNG ranks 145th out of 175 countries in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index for 2014. Community and business surveys indicate low levels of trust in law enforcement and the judiciary. PNG businesses consistently identify law and order as their highest reform priority and insecurity imposes high costs on businesses.
Family and sexual violence is endemic, with some of the highest rates of violence against women and children in the world. It is the most common form of violence experienced by women, many of whom live in fear of attack. Violence appears to be increasing as a feature of criminal activity, as does the use of firearms.
Australia has provided direct assistance to PNG's law and justice agencies for over 25 years and is the major donor to the sector. Australia has a strong national interest in supporting justice and law enforcement outcomes in PNG. We share a border, economic interests and common legal frameworks with PNG. As the two largest countries in the Pacific, we share security interests and are committed to working together to address regional law and justice challenges.
Australia will continue to support the building of strong institutions that have a direct role to play in promoting stability, economic growth and poverty reduction through the work of a number of agencies including the Australian Federal Police, the Attorney-General's Department and the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC).
This will include continued support for PNG's efforts to combat corruption and to implement the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force, which will improve investor confidence in PNG.
A reshaped Australian Federal Police engagement in PNG aims to increase the professionalism of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary. Australia will maintain a strong program of support for building the capacity of the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary to manage law and order including through the deployment of Australian Federal Police officers in advisory, training and mentoring roles and expanding the training opportunities for Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary members in Australia.
Australia's renewed investments in the law and justice sector will continue to focus on strengthening access to justice and local conflict resolution mechanisms to promote community safety and security and address family and sexual violence.
Despite a sustained period of high economic growth in PNG, the country ranked 145 out of 189 economies on the World Bank's 2015 doing business ranking and has rated particularly poorly in the category of 'enforcing contracts' (181 out of 189). PNG's growth is heavily dependent on the mining and petroleum sectors and needs to diversify if it is to withstand future price shocks.
Australia's aid can be a strong catalyst for more inclusive economic growth in PNG. This includes assisting the PNG Government to implement an effective Sovereign Wealth Fund to manage the returns from natural resources, and by fostering an environment conducive to private sector development, led by both women and men.
In recognition that inadequate and poorly maintained infrastructure creates significant costs to doing business, and constrains economic growth, Australia's aid investment in economic and social infrastructure in PNG is set to increase, from 37 per cent of the program in 2014 to approximately 50 per cent by 2017. Our infrastructure investments may include both construction and maintenance activities as appropriate to the context of the sector and local environment.
As PNG moves towards larger scale infrastructure investments we aim to move towards a greater focus on provision of infrastructure policy and analytical support. Recognising PNG's growing capacity to provide routine road maintenance services, this will be accompanied by an increased focus on high impact, complex capital works.
Within the PNG transport sector, Australia will focus its support predominantly on the rehabilitation of PNG's priority roads; improvement of aviation and maritime safety and security standards; and operational reform of the transport sector agencies.
Australia will increase support for the rural livelihoods of both women and men in recognition that about 80 per cent of Papua New Guineans reside in traditional rural communities and secure their livelihoods from agriculture (including crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry).
The Australian Centre for Agricultural Research (ACIAR) will invest in agricultural research to lead to enhanced livelihoods and to provide a means to increase agricultural productivity, reduce post-harvest losses, and make supply chains more efficient. This will enable PNG to increase its participation in domestic and international agricultural trade.
A new Private Sector Development Framework identifies a range of investments to help reduce costs, reduce risk and increase the productivity of the PNG economy. Australia will improve the enabling environment for business through infrastructure support, including a new phase of the Incentive Fund open to the private sector, and a competitive Innovation Facility to encourage social entrepreneurship and business-led investment.
Australia will also support technical and vocational training to address gaps in key technical skills identified by the private sector. Opportunities should exist to partner with the private sector to provide targeted support to develop markets, generate new economic opportunities and improve access to finance, particularly for women.
PNG has valuable offshore tuna resources and is successfully developing its onshore processing capacities. However, transparency and governance in the sector has been variable leading to real concerns over lost revenues and poor controls over foreign and domestic fleets. Australia will seek opportunities to advance this agenda through more regular dialogue and targeted support where appropriate.
Australia will provide targeted aid-for-trade support to build PNG's capacity to deal with cross-border trade issues such as quarantine and customs to help PNG access international markets. This will be undertaken through the Pacific Agreement on Closer Economic Relations (PACER Plus) negotiations and support to PNG to comply with agreed mutual international trade and investment obligations, to which PNG is a party. We will also support PNG's preparations to host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in 2018.
Australia will increase aid investments in youth skills training and job placements, technical and vocational education and training, and higher education, responding to businesses' and government's need for more skilled employees.
Australia and PNG will continue to work together to further our shared interests in the Kokoda Track, including keeping the Track open and safe, supporting economic and social development, and protecting the local environment and heritage.
Economic growth is a necessary pre-requisite for poverty reduction, but its impact on poverty reduction is not assured. Measures to improve people's access and participation in quality health and education services can help ensure that growth is shared. PNG continues to face enormous challenges in providing access to quality health services and education opportunities for all Papua New Guineans.
Australia's support for human development in PNG will progressively shift towards building PNG's capacity to deliver services to its citizens, and away from direct service delivery.
Australia will assist PNG to achieve a more effective system which can deliver health services that are responsive to all people's health needs - targeting improvements in maternal and child health and communicable disease control.
We will continue to support essential maternal, newborn and child health interventions including through increasing the quality and quantity of skilled birth attendants, and developing capacity to deliver routine immunisations. We will work with PNG to strengthen tuberculosis (TB control and prevent the spread of drug-resistant TB through maintaining investments in Western Province, and expansion of our support into the National Capital District, which is the primary TB 'amplifier' in PNG. Our investments in HIV will progressively shift to PNG Government responsibility; however, we will maintain a focus on most-at-risk populations.
We will continue to work to make inroads against malaria, including through partnerships with other donors, (including the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria), and the private sector. We will maintain partnerships with multilateral agencies, develop a stronger engagement with the private sector and the faith-based health services, and explore co-funding approaches to maximise the recent programs in priority health areas.
Australia's health assistance will continue to focus on a number of priority provinces and districts based on need to maximise the influence of our investments and demonstrate their impacts on health service improvements.
Australia recognises the value of quality education in creating a thriving economy and in developing PNG's future leaders. Our efforts will support more students, particularly girls and children with a disability, to enrol in and complete school, to further their education through university or technical college, and to enter the workforce with the skills that they need.
We will encourage gender equality in education in PNG.
We will continue to support students to have better access to primary school by increasing the number of accessible school classrooms, teacher accommodation and ablution blocks.
We will identify and work with well performing secondary schools to expand opportunities for girls to complete their education and to progress to tertiary studies. We will also work with PNG to improve teacher training colleges, implement education quality standards, and strengthen education management so that students benefit from more well trained teachers and stronger school leaders.
We will seek opportunities to work with business, including other education institutions, in the higher education and the technical and vocational training sector. We will facilitate further twinning arrangements between PNG and Australian universities. We will collaborate with the private sector to revitalise and expand PNG's technical colleges in Port Moresby, Lae and Bougainville to build capacity and raise training standards to enable more graduates to gain accredited trade qualifications that meet industry requirements.
Australia Awards scholarships will continue to be a key element of Australia's education investment. These scholarships will assist Papua New Guineans to obtain higher education qualifications at Australian institutions, and for the priority areas of health and education, at PNG training institutions. We will ensure that women and people with disabilities are given increased opportunities for education through scholarships and fellowships. Australia will assist the expanding alumni base to remain active in building networks, mentoring new students and recent alumni, and in furthering their own leadership development.
Australia and PNG people and institutional links will be complemented through the roll out of the New Colombo Plan in PNG.
Australia recognises that gender equality and women's empowerment are critical to PNG's economic and human development. The Australian-funded Pacific Women Shaping Pacific Development program has added critical investments to support these objectives.
The Business Coalition for Women has been developed to support the mentoring of women business leaders and to facilitate connections across the Pacific. We will expand support to improve women's leadership, economic opportunities and safety in PNG. This includes through the Australia-Pacific Women Parliamentary Partnerships program, supporting access to services for survivors of family and sexual violence, and by addressing constraints to women's effective participation in labour markets and agribusiness through financial literacy, microfinance programs, and building safe markets.
Australia has strongly advocated for disability inclusive development with the PNG Government and our implementing partners. We will continue to do so in line with our new Development for All 2015-2020: Strategy for strengthening disability-inclusive development in Australia's aid program and the PNG National Policy on Disability.
Australia is committed to integrating disability-inclusive measures across Australia's aid program to PNG, addressing the vulnerabilities of people living with disabilities. Australia will also work with the private sector to identify ways in which workforce participation for those with disabilities can be further supported.
We will also increase our focus on children and young people. PNG's population is highly youthful, with 41 per cent of the population under 15 years old and 59 percent of the population under 25 years old 1. The development challenges for children in PNG are stark: 13,000 children a year die before the age of five, more than half of the survivors of sexual assault are under 15 years old, an estimated 40 per cent of children are stunted, and one in five children are not enrolled in school. Youth (young people aged 15 to 25 years old) face their own development challenges, particularly around gaining employment. Australia is committed to integrating approaches that are sensitive to children and youth into our investments in PNG, including developing a PNG Youth Strategy, enhancing our focus on child protection issues and supporting the PNG Government's implementation of the Lukautim Pikinini Act (2015).
The Autonomous Region of Bougainville, as elsewhere in PNG, faces a range of constraints to economic growth and human development. Bougainville continues to face additional challenges as a result of its nine year (1989 to 1998) civil conflict. The five-year window (2015-20) in which Bougainville will hold a referendum on its future political status, as mandated by the Bougainville Peace Agreement (BPA), will present a range of challenges for the PNG Government and the Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG).
In consultation with the PNG Government and the ABG, Australia is increasing its aid to Bougainville to support stability throughout this period by strengthening governance and service delivery, promoting social cohesion and economic growth, and empowering women and youth.
Supporting effective governance remains a priority for Australia's aid to Bougainville, as we aim to improve the capacity of the ABG to implement the BPA.
We will expand our economic assistance for Bougainville to support private sector engagement in agriculture. As part of a new program of research for development on transformative agriculture and enterprise development in PNG, we will support the strengthening of rural communities through the restoration of profitable cocoa production on Bougainville.
We will also enhance our investments in health, education, transport and law and justice. Increasingly, these sector activities will aim to build capacity within the ABG to take a greater role in service delivery.
Australia will continue to support the implementation of the Bougainville Gender Investment Plan, which aims to reduce gender-based violence, strengthen women's leadership and improve women's economic opportunities. We will work with NGOs to increase the positive social, economic and political participation of youth and people with disabilities in Bougainville's society and their contribution to its peaceful future.
Australia will continue to support the Bougainville Peace Building Program recognising its important contribution to reconciliation through traditional approaches and dialogue.
Australia will continue to support the PNG Government and ABG in their efforts to coordinate donor assistance to Bougainville.
Aid delivery in PNG is complex. Decisions on delivery mechanisms will be based on an assessment of how Australian aid objectives can be achieved as efficiently and effectively as possible, taking into account technical and political economy considerations as well as the long term focus of development work in PNG.
A range of Government departments and agencies are involved in implementing elements of Australia's aid investment in PNG. Led by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), key Australian Government departments and agencies will continue to play essential roles in delivering Australia's Official Development Assistance to PNG. This is particularly the case in the governance sector, where a range of agencies make important contributions to PNG public sector reforms policy and the delivery of law and justice. See Table 1 below for a list of whole of government partners and further information.
Australia will work with the Government of PNG, regional organisations and private sector to deliver the aid program. Australia will look for opportunities for PNG to fully benefit from the Pacific Agreement on Closer Economic Relations (PACER) Plus, when finalised.
Australia intends to consolidate the number of PNG aid program investments where possible. Consolidation will primarily be achieved through the introduction of the PNG Governance Facility (PGF), which will implement multiple, high priority governance activities through a single aid investment. While the law and justice, education and health sector programs have already been consolidated, further attempts will be made to reduce the number of investments being implemented (where appropriate).
Our key implementation approaches include:
To minimise risk and ensure the delivery of an effective aid program, Australia will continue to consider a number of safeguards when planning, designing, delivering and evaluating all Australian aid investments in PNG. Safeguards are mandatory requirements that apply to all of Australia's aid investments to ensure potential adverse social and environmental impacts are identified and adequately addressed. Mandatory safeguards requirements are in place for environmental protection, displacement and resettlement and child protection. Safeguards such as these are a key risk mitigation facet of the program to prevent harm to individuals or the environment, adverse legal consequences, and reputational damage.
The annual Australia and PNG Leaders' Meeting and Ministerial Forum shape the bilateral agenda and enable dialogue on key strategic issues. This meeting is preceded annually by Senior Officials Talks between Australia and PNG on the development program and broader bilateral issues.
The Australian and PNG Governments currently set agreed priorities for the Australian aid program to PNG and also agree mutual obligations for both Governments through the PNG-Australia Partnership for Development. A new bilateral Aid Partnership is expected to be developed in 2015. Australia and PNG will annually agree sectoral based schedules, which will be attached to the Aid Partnership, to record sectoral priorities, intended outcomes, targets, benchmarks, indicators for success and mutual obligations.
The PNG Government has released its Medium Term Development Plan 2 (2016-17).
The PNG Government is also developing a new Aid Policy 2015-20 that seeks to coordinate the engagement of donor partners across the development sectors. Australia will align our investment with these strategic frameworks.
Australia's consultations with business on development and the aid program, including with the Australia-PNG Business Council, will encompass broader economic policy issues in PNG.
Australia proposes the following performance benchmarks be used to assess progress towards the strategic objectives of the Aid Investment Plan. Australia will report on progress against these benchmarks through annual Aid Program Performance Reports (APPRs). Future year performance benchmarks will be determined following the review and analysis of the APPRs.
Women: 2,680
Men: 4,000
Total: 6,680
Women: 13,720
Males: 280
Total: 14,000
Women: 12,900
Men: 17,100
Total: 30,000
* Excludes number of police and law and justice officials trained.
** These benchmarks reflect results from Australia's programs across PNG, including in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville.
***This performance benchmark captures not only our aid for trade investments but also our investments in private sector led growth, such as support to the Asia Pacific Technical College-PNG .
Australia will deliver development assistance in support of the aid objectives and performance benchmarks identified in this AIP. We propose Australia and PNG agree a set of mutual obligations for the aid program, to be confirmed through discussions on a future Aid Partnership. These mutual obligations will be updated in PNG's Aid Investment Plan once agreed.
Australia commits to progress development priorities identified in PNG's Medium Term Development Plan 2 (2016-17). This will include supporting ongoing reform efforts, led by the PNG Government. Australia and PNG will discuss the Aid Partnership on an annual basis, to review progress against performance benchmarks and determine performance benchmarks for the following year.
Australia's aid in PNG is aligned with the Government's performance framework for Australia's aid program Making Performance Count: Enhancing the Accountability and Effectiveness of Australian Aid. This approach ensures effective and efficient use of Australia's aid and enables a stronger focus on results and value for money. It will strengthen the way performance is assessed at all levels. Under the new performance framework, program performance will be assessed against 10 strategic targets, PNG program specific benchmarks and mutual obligations. Australia will systematically review and report on the performance and results of Australia's aid program and investments in PNG, to continually improve aid effectiveness.
Australia will review the performance of PNG program contractors, investments, sectors and the overarching program annually, using Partner Performance Assessments, Aid Quality Checks, Sector Performance Reports and an Aid Program Performance Report. These reports will continue to provide frank, evidence-based assessments of progress and include management actions. This approach will help the Governments of Australia and Papua New Guinea understand what works and what does not, informing decisions made by departmental staff and delegates, and promoting public accountability for the use of taxpayer funds.
Australia has 44 significant investments in PNG, 24 of which are valued at $10 million or more. Appropriately, we have scheduled up to 25 investment reviews or evaluations to occur over the life of this Aid Investment Plan. To enable the efficient and effective review and evaluation of the program and its investments, DFAT and our implementing partners will continuously monitor program and investment performance and collect data to verify success.
Overall responsibility for the strategy and the Pacific aid budget will lie with DFAT's First Assistant Secretary, Pacific Division. Australia's High Commissioner to Papua New Guinea will have responsibility for in-country leadership and delivery of the bilateral aid program against the objectives of this Aid Investment Plan.
DFAT in Canberra is responsible for policy development and guidance, drawing on the expertise of thematic specialists, as well as the DFAT PNG Development and Solomon Islands Branch, Papua New Guinea and Fiji Branch and Post. Staff at Post will have primary responsibility for program analysis, design, management, monitoring and evaluation. Roles will be adjusted over time to reflect new investment priorities, with resources following functions. Other Australian Government agencies, including the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, Austrade, the Australian Federal Police and the Attorney-General's Department, will provide strategic input for aid investment in particular sectors and have programming responsibility for their contributions on those sectors in consultation with DFAT. Designing, implementing and evaluating aid investments requires highly skilled staff. We will maximise our capability through innovative and flexible use of resources and by investing in staff training and development. Where appropriate we will procure specialist expertise to assist with our changing program.
Australia's aid to PNG is delivered in a challenging environment. By their nature, aid investments contain a high degree of risk, which require careful management. The PNG program will monitor and manage risks at the implementing country level. Staff in Canberra and in PNG will be responsible for identifying and managing risks and elevating risks to the attention of senior management when appropriate. Australia will continue to review risks and treatments for all investments at every stage of the aid management cycle. Australia remains open to accepting a reasonable level of risk in order to achieve on objectives and effective outcomes, and we acknowledge that it is not possible to seek to eliminate all risk before embarking on an aid investment.
In PNG, governance fraud and corruption continue to be challenges. As outlined in the DFAT Anti-corruption and Fraud Control Strategy for the PNG bilateral program, DFAT is committed to preventing, detecting and rapidly responding to fraud and corruption through Australia's aid program in PNG. DFAT's longstanding zero tolerance approach to fraudulent and corrupt actions against Australia's development program in PNG requires that for all instances of alleged, suspected or detected fraud DFAT will: investigate the matter to determine the nature and extent of the fraud; apply appropriate administrative or contractual penalties, including termination of engagement; seek prosecution of offenders and the application of appropriate penalties, including through referral to local police overseas and/or the Australian Federal Police; and seek the recovery of misappropriated funds or assets. Disaster risk will also be factored into our decisions on significant investments.
The following is a summary of the risk management documentation and monitoring requirements that will be implemented by the Australian aid program in PNG:
