Last update: 9 hours ago

PALM worker backlash: A Timor-Leste father says an Australian farm job under the PALM scheme left him with just $1,500 savings after being made to work only half his visa period and repay large travel and accommodation costs—sparking fresh questions about how overseas labour programs protect families. Heritage on display: “Threads of Heritage” opened in The Hague, spotlighting Southeast Asian weaving traditions from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam—an upbeat reminder that culture is still a living, shared craft. Regional energy race: Timor-Leste’s Greater Sunrise push is moving from politics toward deadline-driven infrastructure planning as the project nears concept selection, with the stakes tied to monetizing remaining offshore resources. Diplomacy in motion: PNG and Timor-Leste agreed to open reciprocal embassies, aiming to deepen trade and people-to-people links. Health and research: Ochsner’s pediatric cardiologist was named to lead a $15m American Heart Association initiative with partners including Timor-Leste to improve early detection of rheumatic heart disease.
