PNG suspends talks on Rudd's boat people "fix" Kevin Rudd's new plan to stop boat people - claiming he'd send them all to Papua New Guinea - was already being swamped. Just 382 of the 2883 boat people have since been sent to Manus Island, making Rudd's "fix" only 13 per cent successful. And now it could flop completely: PAPUA New Guinea has suspended discussions with Australia on the resettlement of refugees, as its most senior immigration official warned that serious breaches of the asylum-seeker undertakings could "jeopardise implementation" of Kevin Rudd's offshore solution... The PNG government has also warned the Australian government of new opposition to the reopening of the Manus Island regional processing centre, serious concerns from PNG companies and a lack of consultation that could threaten progress with the extension of the centre to house 3000 asylum-seekers. In a confidential letter obtained by The Weekend Australian, PNG's chief migration officer Mataio Rabura told Australia's Department of Immigration and Customs that Australian access to the building site at Manus and discussions on resettlement had been suspended. Mr Rabura complained about Australian officials not consulting him; tenders for work only being advertised in Australia, effectively delivering a snub to the PNG Defence Force that "can put up tents"; PNG companies not receiving the business suggested by Mr Rudd and PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neill; and hasty decision-making. He described the situation as one that could "jeopardise implementation of the agreement reached by our two prime ministers." Rudd says the correspondence is a week old and the issues have since been sorted out.
