In Australia's case, like New Zealand's, their service has an altruistic nature too. I don't think expats are the target, but the pacific island nations.

If they want to keep their 'influence' in the area, they have to pay for it. Soft power does not come cheap.

They are not the first, and likely won't be the last, to believe in
reliable local partnership and distribution.

Local governments will always step in, and block their local
arrangements, when they feel like it. The only way around it is to
pander to the government. In this case they won't do any good to the
people they claim to be serving.
