Reader riposte: Who's footing the RAMSI bill?

by Reader riposte - 16 August 2010 7:36AM

Paul Cotton has some questions that readers may know the answers to:

May I once again use The Interpreter as a means of finding an answer that I can't find elsewhere?

As interest in AusAID peaks once again, could you please tell me whether the long-running Australian RAMSI operation is billed to AusAID? If not, which branch of government is picking up Australia’s share of the tab? I wonder too if Australia is paying for the Tongan and Papua New Guinea contributions. I'd like to think that New Zealand is paying its own share.
