AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

China Security Review: Prime Minister Matthew Wale has started a review of Solomon Islands’ 2022 security agreement with China, promising “no more secrecy” and saying he was only allowed to read the deal one day before a Canberra meeting in May—he told Parliament the principle must apply to all treaties: no agreement should stand without Parliament’s informed consent. Parliament Watch (PAC): The Public Accounts Committee questioned OPMC’s proposed $2.5m SIBC supplementary allocation, while also hearing requests including OAG’s $6.7m for audit methodology upgrades and clearing provincial audit backlogs, and scrutiny of MEHRD’s $76.89m supplementary budget. Free Education Fight: MPs and Opposition are pressing for clarity on the 2027 free education rollout—Wale says full costing will come to Parliament in December, while critics warn the policy needs the “machinery” (teachers, infrastructure, funding plan) before fees are removed. Local Governance & Revenue: Guadalcanal will pilot a mobile revenue collection system for business licence fees and property taxes, aiming to cut cash handling and improve transparency. Land, Housing & Coastal Reform: Government is preparing five land and governance bills, including customary land governance, land dispute resolution, housing, land information systems, and coastal/marine governance. Regional Politics: Pacific foreign ministers failed to agree on a joint statement condemning China’s ballistic missile test, and Taiwan is set to attend the Palau leaders meeting after being blocked last year. Economy & Resources: CBSI projects a better 2026-27 outlook, and mining royalty rates are set to move with global gold prices, alongside plans for new labs to verify mineral exports.
