The Nepali Embassy, ​​which was opened when the population of Nepalis in Australia was about 20,000, is now running with the same manpower even though this number has reached 200,000. Which has a direct impact on service delivery. It has become common for Nepalis in Australia to complain that when they have a problem, they do not respond when they call the embassy.

So far, even though 5 ambassadors have changed, the grievances of Nepalese have not changed. Such complaints are occasionally heard in public events. On social media, it seems to be scattered every day. Nepali people from Darwin, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Tasmania, run to the embassy in Canberra to make passports and other important documents. But it seems that those who have traveled to the embassy after a long journey due to the lack of fast and quick information and manpower are becoming sad if the work is not done on time. Often at such times, the embassy employees express their innocence and say, "If there is an employee who can reach the customer, they will serve as they say." 

There are about 70,000 students in Australia. The concern of thousands of them seems to be how to make a passport on time and how to make the necessary documents for travel on time. For that, you have to run the embassy. Most Australian states have unpaid consulates and consulates, but they are all nominal. So far, 4 unpaid consuls have been appointed in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth in Australia. Recently, Dinesh Khadka has been given the duty of unpaid consul in New Zealand  . Their work is not much visible except for giving visas to foreigners who want to go to Nepal and those of Nepalese origin who have obtained citizenship of other countries. It is the unpaid messengers themselves who complain about not getting such rights.

Australia There is also a general curiosity about how the embassy is looking from New Zealand to Papua New Guinea, which is not able to provide fast service. According to an informal conversation with the staff of the embassy, ​​there is no possibility that the embassy will speed up until the shortage of manpower on the one hand and necessary expenses on the other is resolved.

Since Nepali are scattered in all the states of Australia, many Nepalis expect that the embassy could have run a passport distribution camp from at least one state every year. Currently, the embassy is conducting a 'passport mobile camp' with NRNA Australia, an organization of non-resident Nepalis. The camp, which started from Perth in February 2024, has been held in 5 states so far and has been repeated in some places. In which 3 thousand people were able to renew their passport or make a new passport. Such a service has been praised by many.  If you look at the details of

NRNA, from February of last year to January of this year, about 2,500 people made passports in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Darwin and Tasmania. It has not been made public how many people took this service from the camp held in Perth only about a week ago. Even though many benefited from such camps, this camp could not stay out of question .

because the question is being raised as to how much money the NRNA raised in such a camp and what was its purpose . A few days ago, Raj Thapaliya, the former NRNA coordinator of the same state, raised the voice of publicizing the account of the mobile camp held in Perth, Western Australia, through social media. In this regard, a was published in Kantipur last January with the title 'NRNA Australia raising additional funds for passport mobile camp'  . After the

news was published, this time it was heard that they decided to raise 50 dollars voluntarily during the operation of the camp in Perth. But even in such decisions, questions have not ceased to arise . Is it possible to raise funds in cooperation with the embassy? If so, where was the money raised, how much money was saved and when and how will all the information be made public? NRNA has not answered such questions.

A minimum of 25 to 70 dollars has been collected from such mobile camps before. Anil Pokharel, president of NRNA Australia, informed all the members via email a few days after the news was published in Kantipur last January. 

Looking for an answer to the public question Pokharel, president of NRNA Australia, did not get a clear answer to the question asked earlier. Instead, they say, "Our volunteers don't see the hard work and effort they put in day and night, but they see the small amount we raised to cover the expenses." We asked the same question to Kul Bahadur Magar, Deputy Head of Embassy in Canberra. He said, "We are ready to cooperate with the organization that can easily and simply conduct the passport camp". It is not that organizations other than NRNA do not or cannot do mobile camps.

Adelaide Nepal, a Nepalese organization in South Australia, seems ready to conduct mobile camps without charging any fees. Puskar Koirala, the former president of the organization, says that the embassy should coordinate in this . They say, 'If the service is provided with an additional charge, how can it be called social service?' No one doubts that the
