SUBJECT: AUSTRALIAN REPLY TO PAKISTAN'S IDP CRISIS 
 
REF: STATE 50276 
 
Classified By: POLITICAL COUNSELOR: JAMES F. COLE FOR REASONS 1.4 B AND 
 D 
 
 ¶1. (SBU) May 18, poloff delivered reftel talking points on 
the worsening crisis among IDPs in Pakistan to David Holly, 
Assistant Secretary for South and West Asia Branch at 
Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), 
Lisa Rice Madan, Director of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Central 
Asian Republics Section, at DFAT and to Peter Waddell-Wood, 
Director of the Afghanistan/Pakistan Task Force at AusAID. 
 
¶2. (C/NF) Mr. Holly told poloff that Australia plans to 
donate AUD $6 million (USD $4.6 million), which Foreign 
Minister Smith will announce the week of May 25. This amount 
brings to AUD $12 million (USD $9.2 million) that Australia 
has contributed to Pakistan for its refugee crisis since 
October 2008. Further funding options are being explored as 
the crisis situation continues.He asked that the information 
be kept very close hold. 
 
¶3. (C/NF) Mr. Waddell-Wood, who reiterated the 
confidentiality of the information, explained that the AUD $6 
million was divided into three tranches: $2 million for the 
World Food Program, $2 million for UNICEF (for education, 
etc.), and $2 million for UNHCR (for shelter and water 
purification, etc.). 
 
¶4. (C) Comment: All of the Australians made the point that 
any aid given to ameliorate the situation in Pakistan is a 
vital contribution in support of the military, political and 
economic effort in Afghanistan. This is the central reason 
that Australia will continue to channel funds to the IDP 
problem in Pakistan as needed.
