The disease time bomb on our border

We must offer to help, and fund community groups here such as YWAM, to play a role.

The churches here, with strong links to PNG churches, can play a role.

State health authorities - especially Queensland - must be enlisted.

The first target must be preventable diseases in children such as polio.

We cannot have a failed health system on our border. The good people of PNG are crying out for help. We cannot possibly deny giving it.

These are difficult times for our neighbour.

We must help them navigate that difficulty.

If we don't we will inevitably share in the consequences.

We are not isolated from this issue in our neighbour.

We must deliver a firm message to Waigani and do so now!
