AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Bauxite Accountability: The Attorney-General’s update on 33 Rennell Island bauxite shipments says key records from 2019–2021 are missing or incomplete, Central Bank payment records can’t be found, no MoU or supporting correspondence is located, and even refinery certificates/assay reports are absent—raising fresh questions over royalties, permits, and oversight. Political Transparency: Opposition is challenging a SBD$100,000-a-month Forestry rental tied to a property registered to PM Matthew Wale, while another dispute over Solomon Islands Mineral Holding Ltd (SIMHL) has prompted Government to admit an “honest administrative mistake” and correct Company Haus entries. Health Policy: Government launched the National Malaria Elimination Roadmap 2026–2040, targeting zero malaria deaths by 2030 and elimination by 2038, with WHO certification by 2040. Tax Reform Consultation: GREAT released a draft Formal Tax Policy Work Programme 2026–2028 for public input, outlining priorities and a process for sequencing tax and legislative changes. Regional Economy: PM Wale and PNG PM Marape pushed a PNG–Solomon “growth corridor” at an investment forum, aiming to turn Melanesian ties into bankable partnerships, trade, jobs and downstream processing. Labour Mobility: PALM reported 13,000 Solomon Islanders now working in Australia, reflecting growing demand and LMU recruitment and preparation efforts. Governance & Appointments: Transparency Solomon Islands warned the scale of political appointments is “deeply concerning,” citing rising costs and fiscal pressure.
