Leaders looking into visa

 AUSTRALIA is working with Pa­pua New Guinea to address the visa issue facing citizens travelling between the two countries.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he and Peter O’Neill were looking at ways to resolve the visa issue
“Prime Minister O’Neill and I have discussed this now on quite a number of occasions and I absolutely accept the desire of the PNG government and people to have swift and easy and appropriate access to Australia,” Abbott said.
“I absolutely accept that we are working towards better processes.
“We’ve already got the ability of PNG citizens to apply for visas online.
“We’ve already got fast-track entry at Brisbane and Cairns airports.
“What we’re now going to work on is trying to ensure that the PNG system and the Australian system can inter-operate as it were, so we can have the level of information sharing that exists between Australia and New Zealand and which facilitates what is effectively visas on arrival for people from New Zealand.”
