ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 2010 to 2020, the global media generally had a very positive view of the voluntary migration schemes or humanitarian refugee visas promised by their Pacific allies (e.g., Australia and New Zealand). However, the actual implementation of climate migrants\u2019 relocation tells a different story, particularly in the case of I-Kiribati people. This paper examines Australian and New Zealand\u2019s governmental policies of immigration for the Pacific islanders over the last two decades. Drawing on a decolonial theoretical approach inspired by Jonathan Pugh, David Chandler and Elizabeth DeLoughrey, in conjunction with Prem Kumar Rajaram\u2019s post-Marxist migrant economy theory, this paper argues that the Australian and New Zealand governments ultimately only paid lip service to humanitarian aid for climate displaced people. In fact, the proposed schemes for I-Kiribati people or other Pacific climate migrants ultimately serve to convert the migrant populations into the host country\u2019s labour force, of use for its neoliberal economy. The second half of the paper turns to an analysis of an award-winning climate documentary produced by a Canadian film maker, Matthieu Rytz. Rytz\u2019s Anote\u2019s Ark (2018) aligns with the \u201cmigrating with dignity\u201d policy proposed by the former I-Kiribati president, Anote Tong. Bringing in Malcom Ferdinand\u2019s decolonial analysis of the figure of Noah\u2019s ark in the climate discourse, the paper problematises the general political consensus advanced by this particular type of contemporary climate documentary and challenges the feasibility of the \u201cmigrating with dignity\u201d approach. Most importantly, it questions whether climate migrants can truly build a future with dignity in their host country if they are conditioned to supply the migrant labour market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
