Aid questions remain over PNG deal

Description:

The Federal Opposition says the Prime Minister must explain why his PNG counterpart believes he now has control over Australia's half a billion dollar aid budget for PNG. The Government is continuing to defend its plan to send all asylum seekers arriving by boat to PNG as the best way to stop people dying at sea. One aid group says it doubts all aid control would be handed over to PNG, but ActionAid Australia says it is worried that funding from the overall foreign aid budget will be diverted to pay for the PNG deal.
