PNG is now regarded by major world economies as the emerging ‘jewel’ of the Pacific and despite all the political rhetoric on the ties between the two countries, Australia’s true attitude is reflected in its immigration policy which falls short of treating the people of PNG as citizens from a ‘terrorist’ state. Let me ask the Australian Govt. and people how much threat/risk ordinary PNGeans pose to the economy and sovereignty of its people? On behalf of our citizens, I strongly suggest we hand this petition to local MP , Governor of NCD and champion of human rights, honourable Powes Parkop to take this plea up another level to the highest institution of the land, the PNG Parliament as a matter of national and bilateral interest. It is important a fair policy is applied considering the large business interest and strategic position PNG is to Australia. We can urge our Government to dump Australia and increase our ties with the Asian ‘tigers’ if the Australian ‘kangaroo’ continues such policy.
