	Editorial: What is the Howard Government Up to with the Pacific Solution Mark 2?
		The justification for the long term detention of unvisaed asylum seekers on the Australian mainland and in the Pacific centres was the need to deter people from engaging people smugglers in their desire to seek a migration outcome by means of secondary movement once they had fled their country of persecution.
		It fell to Ruddock to defend the proposed extension of the Pacific solution in the wake of criticism by the UNHCR.

	Green Left - Cover Story: Howard's `Pacific solution' is neo-colonialism
		Howard has made it clear that he is determined to maintain his hastily put-together “Pacific solution” for the next term of government and even claims it is a great success, a sign of “renewed cooperation” in the region.
		The “Pacific solution” is an attempt to relinquish Australia's responsibility, as the wealthiest country — by far — in the region, to respond to cries of suffering and desperation of refugees.
		The Pacific solution should be scrapped, Australia's intake of refugees — especially from the Middle East — should be immediately increased, substantially undercutting the people smugglers' trade, and those asylum seekers still in Indonesia should be brought to Australia.

	CNN.com - Australia warned over 'Pacific solution' - August 14, 2002
		Prime Minister John Howard said he was grateful for PNG's help in implementing his government's "Pacific solution" and indicated the number of asylum seekers on Manus island was unlikely to increase.
		Howard, who is in PNG en route to the South Pacific Forum in Fiji, said Australia's aid budget to PNG had been discussed but said it was premature to discuss whether that amount might be increased.
		Some of the island nations consider Australia's tactic of paying Pacific nations to hold asylum seekers in detention to be arrogant and bullying.

	Pacific Solution mark 2 won't work - Opinion - theage.com.au
		The second idea is that the Government would move the claims process offshore, extending the Pacific Solution to all asylum seekers arriving without a visa.
		When thousands of Iraqis and Afghans were landing on our doorstep five years ago, the Government set up the Pacific Solution, excising offshore islands and granting only temporary (rather than permanent) protection visas.
		These policy changes, together with the mandatory detention of all unauthorised arrivals, were justified on the basis that these people engaged in secondary movement, seeking a migration outcome.

	Kronos Incorporated Customer Profile: Georgia-Pacific
		Over the years, Georgia-Pacific's decentralized business model led to the development and implementation of HR and time collection processes that were obsolete, inefficient, or lacked sufficient technical support.
		Prior to implementing any Kronos solutions, Georgia-Pacific's entire workforce management process — including collecting time and attendance data, processing payroll, and various HR and IT initiatives — was handled manually.
		Another benefit of the Kronos solution is its ability to integrate seamlessly with HR, payroll, and other applications with the Workforce Connect™ integration solution.

		Maclellan says Pacific countries are angry that the push for trade liberalisation in the region fails to address labour issues.
		They have the support of the Pacific Islands Forum secretariat, which in its submission to the Australian senate supports the development of a scheme to allow for the seasonal movement of labour workers as a "highly visible" form of regionalism.

	ncca - The Pacific Solution
		Churches were outraged at the prospect of a full-scale return to the Pacific Solution, a chapter in Australian history that many Australians though had been put behind them.
		Mr Howard’s amendments were intended to bring the Pacific Solution in line with international law and Parliament’s unanimously adopted principle of only detaining children as a matter of last resort.
		From now on, undocumented asylum seekers will be intercepted by the Navy and forcibly transferred to Pacific Islands such as Manus and Nauru and will be detained not only until their processing is complete, but most likely until a resettlement coutry is found that is willing to take them.

		Pacific societies are willing to contribute what they can to address the global refugee issue.
		However, the new policy of relocating asylum seekers arriving by boat to Pacific island countries - the so-called “Pacific solution” - was developed in a rapid and ad hoc manner, without support from regional bodies such as the Pacific Islands Forum.

	Guest worker scheme may be better Pacific solution for both Australia and region
		The governments in the Pacific Islands have been urging Canberra to begin a guest labour scheme that would allow unskilled workers to come to Australia for a few months each year in jobs like fruit picking.
		Howard's response at last October's Pacific Islands Forum in Port Moresby was simply to say this was not the way Australia handled migration, which was based on permanent settlement.
		The Pacific Islands Forum secretary-general, Greg Urwin, has also pointed out that unlike our usual migrants, many islanders would be content with work visits rather than permanent settlement, given that they share in land ownership, extended family groups, and have traditional status in their societies.

	Amnesty International Australia - The Pacific Solution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Australian government refused to allow the asylum seekers to land on Australian territory, instead approaching a number of countries in the Pacific region to receive the asylum seekers and establish offshore detention centres - this became the so-called 'Pacific Solution'.
		On 1 September 2001, Nauru (a tiny Pacific nation) offered to take in the Tampa asylum-seekers while their refugee claims were being processed.
		The real goal behind the UK proposal appeared to be to reduce the number of spontaneous arrivals in the UK and other EU states by denying access to territory and by shifting the asylum seekers to processing zones outside the European Union, where responsibility, enforceability and accountability for refugee protection would be weak and unclear.

		The move meant the Nauru detention facilities - the centrepiece of the government's so-called Pacific Solution for processing asylum seekers offshore - would no longer hold large numbers of refugee hopefuls.
		Senator Vanstone defended the Pacific Solution, saying it had been a vital part of the government's success in cutting the flow of illegal arrivals.

	Australia-Pacific: Offending human dignity - the "Pacific Solution" - Amnesty International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Two Pacific countries, the Republic of Nauru and Papua New Guinea (PNG), as well as the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) quickly accepted Australia's financial and aid incentives to detain asylum seekers in improvised, isolated camps run by the IOM.
		The constitutions of both countries include various safeguards against arbitrary detention, including the requirement for detainees to be informed of the reasons for the detention, the right to consult a lawyer of their own choice, and the right to seek a court decision on the lawfulness of their detention.
		In summary, Amnesty International believes that the motivation and rationale for the ''Pacific Solution'' is inherently flawed because, purportedly to combat the crime of people smuggling, it spends more time and money punishing asylum seekers (many of whom have been found to be refugees) rather than smugglers themselves.

	In Defence of the 'Pacific solution' - part 2 - On Line Opinion - 15/6/2002
		Last month, I suggested that the Howard government’s 'Pacific solution' could form the basis for a more sustainable, rational and humane approach to dealing with illegally-arrived onshore asylum seekers (aka 'boat people').
		Offshore processing of intercepted 'boat people' under the Pacific solution (or rather the Indian Ocean solution, as it will become when detention facilities on Christmas Island are completed) presents the possibility of a more humane and sustainable regime.
		A solution sometimes suggested by refugee advocates is to abolish mandatory detention, except for a limited initial period while identity and security checks are completed.

	Australia looks for Pacific solution to nuclear waste problem \| EnergyBulletin.net \| Peak Oil News Clearinghouse
		The decision came after Howard's Liberal colleagues expressed fears over the electoral implications of foisting the dump on South Australia in which three key marginal seats are under threat at the election due by the end of this year.
		Howard blamed a recent Federal Court ruling against the forced acquisition of the land and the failure of the states to cooperate with Canberra in finding a national solution.
		Howard's proposal was attacked by the Labor opposition as a desperate attempt to solve the nuclear waste problem by creating "Pacific solution II" -- a reference to the so-called Pacific solution by which unwanted asylum seekers were shipped to Pacific islands.
