  • What I Did and What I Saw
    NEW GUINEA WHAT I DID AND WHAT I SAW Barry Craig, 2018 [email protected] Photos copyright B. Craig unless otherwise attributed I guess I was destined to be a walker from an early age ̶ I may have got that from my father. Boot camp, c.1941 Martin Place, Sydney, c.1941 Because my father fought at Sattelberg in the hills west of Finschhafen in 1943, I became fascinated by New Guinea and read avidly. After studying anthropology at the University of Sydney I went to PNG as an Education Officer in 1962. I asked to be posted to Telefomin. Languages of Central New Guinea I lived at Telefomin 1962-65. In 1963-64, Bryan Cranstone, British Museum, was based at Tifalmin west of Telefomin to research and collect items of material culture. His method of documenting things that he collected drew my attention to the house boards and shields of the region. He became my mentor. I was fortunate to witness the last of the male initiation ceremonies – dakasalban candidates with sponsor at left, otban at right. In 1964, I collected about 320 items of material culture for the Australian Museum, supported with photographs, and began a survey of all house boards and shields in the wider region, extended in 1967. This resulted in a Masters Thesis in 1969 and a booklet in 1988. At Bolovip, the board photographed by Champion in 1926 (left) was still there in 1967 (top right) but had been discarded by 1981. Map of 1967 survey Interior photo showing shields, pig jawbones, a sacred feather-bag and ancestral skulls and long-bones.

  • Submission No. 7 (Pacific Health) If
    Submission No. 7 (Pacific Health) if Submission to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Health and Ageing on Western Province Torres Strait: Cross Border Health Issues PURPOSE To propose a long term systemic approach to addressing health issues in Western province to reduce risks and impacts of cross border health issues on the health and well-being of Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal people of the Torres Strait region. KEY POINTS The major health risks in the border area include: » Tuberculosis, including multi-drug resistant TB; • Sexually transmitted infections and HIV and AIDS; « Vector borne disease including malaria, Japanese Encephalitis and Dengue; • Immunisable diseases; and, • Avian Influenza. There is no short term "quick fix" for the health services in Western Province. A long term perspective must be taken. The level of resources to control the health issues of concern cannot be underestimated and will require a "whole of system" approach. Specifically the major challenges are: • There is no stable well functioning health centre in the Treaty Area and difficulties remain in retaining health staff in these areas; • TB is a growing problem and no major program of activity is schedule till 2010. Multi-drug resistant TB is an emerging problem in this area; « Malaria Bed Net Distribution Programs have stalled; • There are high reported rates of STIs and HIV and limited control programs; • The PNG government drugs and supply program does not ensure deliveries of essential drugs to the province; • There is no

The Kum Kom prospect approximately 25kms northeast from Ok Tedi copper mine is the fifth prospect drilled by Highlands in the Star Mountains, the fourth that has encountered copper porphyry mineralisation and the first with skarn-style alteration - often associated with higher grade copper-gold zones. Assays have been received for the 354 metre diamond core hole at Kum Kom (001KUM12) and assays are pending for a further 480 metre second drill hole (002KUM12) from the same pad position but in the opposite direction. Assays for this first Kum Kom drill hole show an initial lower grade zone to 140 metres before a high grade alteration zone of 22 metres of 1.42% copper and 0.57 g/t gold. Deeper drilling in the same hole below 280 metres encountered a second zone of 68 metres at 0.97% copper and 0.37 g/t gold before drilling ended still in mineralisation.

On a national level. PNG depends on the mine for 15.6 per cent of export income, royalty and taxation payments. Regional development ofthe Western Province ofPNG has been facilitated by the Ok Tedi mine and the development ofthe mine has accrued substantial benefits to the local people. The mine has created employment and business opportunities along with education options. Through the provision of medical services, people in the mine area have experienced decreased infant mortality. a decreased incidence of malaria and an average 20 year increase in life expectancy.' Some 58 million tonnes of rock are moved each year at Ok Tedi by means of open cut mining techniques. Of this, 29.2 million tonnes of ore are recovered per annum while the remainder is overburden or associated waste. The result ofthis production is about 589000 tonnes of mineral concentrate, which is exported to markets in Asia and Europe.

  • 8. Negotiating Community Support for Closure Or Continuation of the Ok Tedi Mine in Papua New Guinea COLIN FILER and PHILLIPA JENKINS
    8. Negotiating Community Support for Closure or Continuation of the Ok Tedi Mine in Papua New Guinea COLIN FILER AND PHILLIPA JENKINS Introduction The Ok Tedi mine has some claim to be an extreme case of a large-scale mine whose closure is beset by politics. Ever since the mine began to operate in 1984, there has been ongoing political debate about whether its operations should continue and, if so, under what conditions. At several moments in its history—in 1985, 1989, 1996, 2001, 2006 and, most recently, 2013—the Papua New Guinea (PNG) Government has been obliged to confront this question directly, and on each occasion it has come down in favour of continuation. Nevertheless, the mining company has already begun to scale down its operations in preparation for closure by 2025, if not before, because most of the ore contained in its original deposit of gold and copper has already been mined. The political significance of the choice between closure and continuation is primarily a function of the mine’s international reputation as an environmental disaster. The choice has therefore been represented as a ‘trade-off’ between environmental costs and economic benefits. In 2005, at the peak of its output, it was estimated that this one mine was responsible for 15 per cent of PNG’s gross domestic product, 229 Large-Scale Mines and Local-Level Politics 25 per cent of the country’s export revenues and roughly 20 per cent of the tax revenues raised by the PNG Government (Faulkner 2005). The environmental costs are almost impossible to calculate.

  • Estimated Impact of Drought and Frost on Food Supply in Rural PNG in 2015
    POLICY BRIEF 11 JANUARY 2016 Source: FAO Estimated impact of drought and frost on food supply in rural PNG in 2015 R.M. Bourke, Bryant Allen and Michael Lowe SUMMARY Since April 2015, much of rural Papua New Guinea (PNG) has been severely impacted by a severe drought and, at a number of very high altitude locations above 2200 m altitude, by repeated frosts. The El Niño drought has had a major impact on water supply in many parts of PNG, with negative impacts on school operations, women’s labour and villagers’ health. In many locations, subsistence food supply has been affected. This brief uses a wide variety of reports to assess the impact of the drought on food supply for rural villagers for the whole of PNG at the Local Level Government Area (LLGA) level. We have assembled over 200 reports, of which about 75% contained useable information on food supply. These have been generated from August to December 2015. Reports included a number of formal assessments done by the National Disaster Centre, some churches, NGOs and provincial authorities; detailed local assessments; semi-formal and casual communications; and press and social media reports. The methods used in the assessments differed to some degree. We assembled the reports in a database and allocated a five-point scale for food supply for each location. The Development Policy Centre is part of Crawford School of Public Policy at The Australian National University. We undertake analysis and promote discussion on Australian aid, Papua New Guinea and the Pacific and global development policy. In 27 of the 271 rural LLGAs, food supply from including potato.
