〔財經頻道/綜合報導〕太平洋島國瑙埃羅(Naoero,原名諾魯)2024年與台灣斷交、轉與中國建交,當年我外交部更揭露,瑙埃羅曾向台灣索求鉅額經濟援助,甚至拿台灣與中國提出的援助方案「比價」。不過,外交轉向北京逾2年後,真正長期在背後提供龐大資源的「大金主」卻另有其人。澳洲政府最新公開一份過去拒絕披露的完整協議,揭開雙方規模達25億澳元(約台幣570億)的長期移民安置安排。
澳媒《Crikey》7日報導,艾班尼斯(Anthony Albanese)政府改變先前保密立場,公開澳洲與瑙埃羅簽署的完整合作備忘錄(MOU)。這份協議涉及所謂「第三國接收安排」,主要用於安置澳洲境內部分無法遣返的非公民,雙方早在2025年8月29日簽署,但完整內容先前並未公開。

澳洲政府先前甚至曾以可能損害國際關係為由拒絕公開。最新文件顯示,澳洲內政部長今年8月3日仍主張「公共利益豁免」,認為公開MOU恐損害澳洲國際關係、不符合公共利益;但政府近日重新評估後態度大轉彎,認定公共利益已傾向公開,因此將完整文件交給國會。《Crikey》並指出,據了解,MOU最終曝光與法院訴訟程序有關。
這條「30年金脈」規模不小。澳洲國會先前披露的財務架構顯示,協議首年涉及4.08億澳元(約台幣92.6億),其中3.88億澳元(約台幣88億)注入雙方共同管理的信託基金,此後每年約支付7000萬澳元(約台幣16億),30年潛在總成本約25.08億澳元(約台幣571億)。不過,這筆錢並非一次性無條件金援,實際支付仍與安置人數等條件有關,並設有特定情況下追回款項的機制。
此次完整MOU公開,也讓過去未被完整披露的安置條款攤在陽光下。協議規定,瑙埃羅須讓被安置者享有工作及境內自由移動權,並提供適當住宿、交通、醫療服務及合理生活津貼。除非當事人可能對瑙埃羅公共衛生或國家安全構成「嚴重且立即的風險」,否則不得因年齡、過往犯罪紀錄、健康狀況等理由拒收;被安置者並將取得至少30年的長期居留簽證。雙方若發生爭議,也不得交由任何國內、國際法庭或第三方裁決,只能透過兩國政府協商解決。
值得注意的是,瑙埃羅棄台轉向北京逾2年後,澳洲依然是這個太平洋島國最重要的外部經濟夥伴。澳洲外交部資料明確指出,澳洲是瑙埃羅最大的雙邊援助國,也是其最大的貿易、投資、安全及發展援助夥伴。
從長期援助、經濟治理、基礎建設,到如今規模高達25億澳元的移民安置安排,瑙埃羅外交上雖已轉向北京,但澳洲仍在其經濟與公共體系中扮演難以取代的角色。如今完整MOU曝光,也讓這條橫跨數十年的「金脈」更加清晰。
