    Papua New Guinea Trans-Island Highway Construction Project (I) (II) Report Date: February 2003 Field Survey: October – November 2002 1. Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan Wewack Indonesia Papua New Guinea Lae Project site Port Moresby Australia Project site Section of the Bereina-Malalaua Road 1.1 Background In Papua New Guinea (PNG), the absence of road links between its capital, Port Moresby, the second city, Lae, and the Highland Province, home to vigorous mining and agricultural production activity, meant a sole reliance on marine and air transport, a situation that was highly inefficient both in economic and social terms. To address this, the government formulated plans to construct a road linking the cities of Port Moresby and Lae that would pass through the Owen Stanley mountains, and in 1979, the Australian government supported the implementation of a feasibility study (F/S) for this route. The plan for the trans-island Port Moresby – Lae highway comprised a stretch spanning 575 kilometers, and included construction of a new 80 kilometer road between Bereina and Malalaua, detailed designs for the 135 kilometer section between Malalaua and Aseki, and widening of the existing 90 kilometer stretch between Aseki and Latep (all distances are approximate). Other sections were excluded from the plan. In the southern Bereina-Malalaua section that was covered by this project, local residents were dependent upon marine transport, a situation that was, in fact, akin to living on an isolated inland islands. It was anticipated that the construction of a new road linking the area with the capital Port Moresby, would make a substantial contribution to economic development and to improving the services like health and education.

Lawrence Kuna Kalinoe 11 Abstract Majority of the indigenous people in Papua New Guinea (about 87 per cent) live on their customary land by engaging in fishing, hunting, gathering and subsistence agriculture for their daily sustenance. Water is obtained directly from rivers, lakes, and other watercourses. At present, Papua New Guinea is undergoing rapid economic growth in forestry, agroforestry, mining, and petroleum development activities. Most (if not all) of these natural resources development activities are conducted on customary land and in and around the environment in which the majority of the indigenous peoples live and on which they rely for their subsistence way of life.

International media was awash with varying interpretations to the latest development in this otherwise peaceful region. The Opposition in Fiji cried foul and said that arms had come into the country illegally and that there was no discus- sion about any military purchases, but none of these would impact on the thinking of the govern- ment led by Prime Minister Voreqe (Frank) Bainimarama. Pact in Moscow According to information made available to us, the seal to the deal was made when Mr Bainimara- ma visited Moscow in June 2013 and discussed bilateral relations and Fiji’s defense needs with his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Radio Tarana said that the deal, valued at $19 million is seen as an attempt by Russia to gain a foothold in the Pacific.

  • Posts About Petromin on Papua New Guinea Mine Watch
    9/12/2016 Posts about Petromin on Papua New Guinea Mine Watch Posts about Petromin on Papua New Guinea Mine Watch Tolukuma mine owners deny profitering in sale to Singapore nightclub company One of the Singapore nightclubs owned by LifeBrandz Asidokona Mining Resources, the owner of Tolukuma mine, has put out a press release [see below] trying to calm fears over the proposed sale of the mine to a Singapore nightclub company and denying any profiteering. Asidokona is a Singapore company owned by financial speculator Philip Soh Sai Kiang (also known as Soh Sai Kiang, Mr Soh and Mr Kiang). Asidokona is the sole shareholder and owner of Tolukuma Gold Mines Ltd which it bought from Petromin for around K80 million in November 2015. Asidokona is now proposing to sell Tolukuma Gold Mines to another Singapore based company, LifeBrandz for US$212 million. But this will not signal the end of the involvement for Asidokona and Soh Sai Kiang, as LifeBrandz will pay for the purchase of Tolukuma Gold Mines by issuing shares in LifeBrandz to Asidokona. Asidokona will then become the largest shareholder in LifeBrandz which will in turn own TGM. Asidokona denies any “exchange of cash or profiteering by the shareholders of ASK” but the simple truth is they are making a huge profit – selling a mine they bought from Petromin for K80 million to LifeBrandz in exchange for shares worth US$212 million (around K670 million), shares which they will then be free to sell for cash. Rather tellingly, Asidokona says two of the main benefits of the sale will be be the short

(ii) Acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other materials used. (iii) The thesis is fewer than , words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. Colin Wiltshire October iii Dedication For the people of Deigam Village. v Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to colleagues, family, and friends who provided exceptional guidance and personal support to me throughout my PhD candidature. I would like to firstly thank my primary supervisor, Associate Professor Nicole Haley. Without her kind‐hearted encouragement and strong commitment to my research I may never have started, let alone managed to submit, this thesis. Professor Stephen Howes, my work supervisor for a significant part of my candidature and thesis panel member, demonstrated to me the leadership and dedication required to produce influential research. Academics from the State, Society and Governance in Melanesia Program (SSGM) in the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs at the Australian National University (ANU) provided the ideal multi‐disciplinary academic unit for me to pursue my research. In particular, I thank my PhD panel members from SSGM. Associate Professor Richard Eves always found the time to provide considered advice and gave me the confidence to trust my own research and writing abilities. Anthony Regan provided both encouragement and critical feedback based on his immense knowledge of my subject matter, which challenged me to think deeply about how I interpreted my research findings.
