Corruption claims in Timor-Leste’s PALM scheme recruitment | The Pacific | ABC News
For many across the Pacific and Timor-Leste, the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme is more than just a job opportunity – it’s a pathway to support families and build futures.
But in Timor-Leste’s capital, Dili some hopeful applicants say that dream is being undermined. Allegations of favouritism, nepotism and even scams are casting doubt over what should be a fair and transparent selection process.
Reporter Vonia Vieira and producer Gabriella Marchant uncover the growing concerns in this story.
‘The Pacific’ is hosted by Johnson Raela and Alice Lolohea.
