Agriculture is PNG’s only hope

By Jeffrey Wall - posted Friday, 17 March 2023

Australia has a role, but the ball is really in the PNG government's corner.

It needs affordable and practical policies.

The much-needed expansion of mining and oil and gas projects cannot be relied on as major job creators. They help but are not the solution to the total challenge PNG faces.

The debate among MPs is welcome. But now is the time for action more than just words!

The people know it's a crisis. They just want action!
