PNG 'solution' a poll fix THE PNG "arrangement" is designed to do nothing more than last till an election, not stop the boats. After then, it will just unravel as it always does for Labor, after you've voted for them. First of all, this arrangement is not legally binding. It doesn't even have the standing of the Malaysian MOU that was found to be insufficiently binding by our own High Court. PNG can also pull out at any time. There is nothing preventing termination within the 12 month review.
