New Ireland Province has begun implementing the 2026 Elderly and Disability Pension Policy, a program revived by the current Chan-Kolivos government. The rollout commenced over the weekend in Namatanai, marking the start of province-wide distribution. The policy aims to provide financial support to elderly and disabled residents. Governor Chan initiated the program as a tribute to Sir J, a former leader whose legacy the pension intends to uphold. Access to information regarding this rollout is restricted to paid subscribers of the Post Courier. This policy signifies a commitment to social welfare within New Ireland Province. The initiative seeks to improve the lives of vulnerable populations through direct financial assistance.
