Australia is giving an extra 2 million dollars to PNG to help with the recovery from the huge landslide in Enga. A senior delegation of ministers has flown to the disaster zone today. Here's what is being allocated... abc.net.au/news/2024-06-2…

So proud of my brilliant friend and colleague Prianka Srinivasan who could not be more deserving of this grant! Keep an eye out for her work!

So proud of Drew Ambrose and his team for winning this very well deserved award! Their Mindset series was awesome, if you haven’t watched it yet - you should! youtu.be/nkoSjR2DCL8?si…

Disturbing insight here in the lack of women recognised in PNG's honours lists over the years. "Knights" galore, only 7 Dames... ever Also, in 50 years since 1975 Independence, only 10 women have ever been elected to parliament. Where are the Dames? postcourier.com.pg/where-are-the-…

Here's something you don't know about PNG... In fact, I don't know, the government doesn't even know... no one really knows. abc.net.au/news/2024-06-3…

No one knows how many people live in #PapuaNewGuinea. Fascinating story from Marian Faa ABC News. ‘…an unreliable 2011 census suggests…around 11 million. A UN study…estimate(d) a much higher population of 17 million in 2022.’

A school, churches and 930 homes worth millions of dollars are being torn down and 5000 people face homelessness in Port Moresby after a mass eviction by PNG’s largest superannuation company. This is the story of Bush Wara: tinyurl.com/2ukwadvt

Not the *biggest news story in the world* today but striking to see NZ take a radically different public stance to Australia on New Caledonia. Aus essentially = no comment. NZ FM Winston Peters 1) questions legitimacy of third referendum 2) calls for compromise and PIF mediation

Unsolved murders, political aspirations and family feuds… the murky story behind a terrible massacre that killed 11 children in Papua New Guinea. tinyurl.com/4c57ybbk

I was at a press conference in Papua New Guinea this week and saw, first hand, a journalist banned from a press conference - because Indonesian officials said so. During President-elect Subianto’s visit local journalist Harlyne Joku, of West Papuan heritage, was denied entry…

We were given exclusive access to Tonga’s only prison to speak to convicted drug traffickers, who reveal how they paid off baggage handlers and customs staff to get product into the Pacific. Watch the season return of The Pacific tonight! Marian Kupu 🇹🇴 abc.net.au/news/2024-09-0…

This 53yo granny walked the gruelling Kokoda track in sandals just so she could catch a glimpse of Pope Francis in Port Moresby 🇵🇬 this weekend. That's some divine strength, I reckon! And also - what a smile! #PNG #PapuaNewGuinea tinyurl.com/2s43mufk

Someone made the interesting point today that Pope Francis has chosen to visit Indonesia, PNG and Timor-Leste ... two regions with prominent independence movements (West Papua and Bougainville) and the other with a historic legacy of violent occupation. tinyurl.com/5m958w2w
