President’s Update - Andrea Williams The last few months have been an exciting time for the PNGAA. The 2014 PNGAA Anzac Centenary Dinner and Symposium were warm, friendly occasions where people enjoyed catching up with each other as much as listening to the fascinating and talented speakers. We thank all our speakers and attendees – local, interstate and international - for their support. We are especially grateful to the Hon Julie Bishop MP for making herself available in this busy year and between long PNGAA Anzac Centenary Dinner – 17 September 2014 NSW Parliament House international L-R: Andrea Williams – PNGAA President, the Hon Charlie Lynn MLC, the Hon Julie Bishop MP, Minister for foreign Affairs and Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party officially flights.

More about these events on other pages and there are photos on our website including a link to the Minister’s speech at: http://www.pngaa.net/Library/Bishop.htm The Anzac Centenary provided a wonderful opportunity to focus on Australia’s long relationship with Papua New Guinea. East New Britain was inundated with visitors for the commemorations in September and, together with the Royal Australian Navy, the Rabaul Historical Society with Suzie McGrade and Lynn Woolcott organised events magnificently. Australians were treated to some special live media coverage, particularly with the Royal Australian Navy service to commemorate the ANMEF capture of German New Guinea and the first casualties of WWI at Bitapaka on 11 September 2014.

  • Peter G. Sack Land Between Two Laws
    This book penetrates the facade Peter G. Sack Land Between of colonial law to consider European land acquisitions Two Laws in the context of a complex historical process. Its context is land, but it is fundamentally a legal study of the problems arising out of the dichotomy between traditional New Early European Land Guinea law and imposed Prussian law. Though these Acquisitions in New Guinea problems arose out of events that took place more than fifty years ago, they are of immediate relevance for New Guinea in the 1970s. They are mostly still unsolved and are only now emerging from under the layers of po­ litical compromise that have concealed them. Dr Sack emphasises the differences between tra­ ditional and introduced law in New Guinea in order to in ­ vestigate the chances of a synthesis between them. He offers no panacea, but points up clearly the tasks which must be accomplished before the 'land between two laws' can become a truly indepen­ dent state. This is an essential work for anthropologists, lawyers and all those con­ cerned with the emergence of a stable, unified Papua New Guinea. This book penetrates the facade Peter G.

South Pacific Commission 639.2'9585 AACR2 ISBN 982-203-511-X Prepared for publication and printed at South Pacific Commission headquarters Noumea, New Caledonia, 1996 ii SUMMARY The waters of Papua New Guinea, including the archipelagic waters of the New Guinea Islands Region, harbour a rich tuna resource that has not been exploited commercially by longline vessels for almost a decade. In the latter part of 1991, Government and private-sector interests in the New Guinea Islands Region began exploring the possibility of establishing a domestic tuna longline industry. As part of this effort the PNG Islands Region Secretariat and the East New Britain (ENB) Provincial Government sought the assistance of staff from the South Pacific Commission’s Coastal Fisheries Programme to design a tuna fisheries development strategy, and to secure the technical and financial assistance necessary to initiate such a programme.

  • Frieda River Feasibility Study Addendum Update
    6 April 2017 Frieda River Feasibility Study Addendum Update Highlands Pacific Limited (ASX: HIG) has received the final report from mining industry consultant Behre Dolbear Australia Pty Ltd (BDA), which conducted an independent peer review of the Frieda River Feasibility Study and Addendum documentation prepared by Frieda River project manager PanAust Ltd. PanAust, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chinese Government owned Guangdong Rising Assets Management Co Ltd (GRAM), released its initial Frieda River Feasibility Study in May 2016 (See Highlands Pacific ASX announcement "Frieda Study Received, 19 May 2016). BDA subsequently conducted a peer review which made reference to a number of shortcomings and omissions in the Feasibility Study (See see ASX release entitled "Frieda River Feasibility Study Review Received", released on 19 January 2017.). GRAM/PanAust then carried out additional work the results of which were released in an Addendum. (See ASX release of 3 March 2017 entitled "Frieda River Feasibility report Addendum (January 2017)". The final BDA report, which is not binding on the parties, concludes that the Feasibility Study and January 2017 Addendum update work together provide a study of a standard that could be provided to lenders for consideration of finance. Highlands Pacific remains of the view that while the Frieda River project is a valuable asset with the potential to generate significant returns for investors, the study still does not meet the standards required by the joint venture agreement and is therefore incomplete in a number of key areas. "We are continuing to work towards a resolution of these matters with PanAust, including an agreement regarding ongoing funding of project development," said Highlands CEO Craig Lennon.

  • Issue 16 February 2018
    CALL THE HANDS NHSA DIGITAL NEWSLETTER Issue No.16 February 2018 From the President Welcome to our first edition of Call the Hands for 2018. Since December, the wreck of HMAS AE1 has been discovered, STS Young Endeavour celebrated 30 years of service and Society members have been involved in several interesting activities. In the week prior to Christmas the discovery of HMAS AE1, excited the nation and ended the Navy’s longest mystery. AE1 was lost off the island of Rabaul on 14 September 1914 with all 35 crew members. The wreck site will remain ‘close held’ by Find AE1 Expedition member organisations until appropriate measures are taken to protect the site. Expedition leader, retired Rear Admiral Peter Briggs who has worked much of his life to find HMAS AE1 and his colleagues are saluted for this historic achievement. On 16 January the Commanding Officer HMAS Hobart, Captain John Stavridis and Supply Officer, Lieutenant Commander Mark Lee visited the Boatshed to acquaint themselves with an important HMAS Hobart heritage item, the Captain’s table from HMAS Hobart (I). The Society has held the table in trust since Hobart (II) decommissioned in May 2000. Descendants of HMAS Patricia Cam crew members and the community marked the 76th anniversary of her loss with a series of events in Darwin, Gosford, Sydney and Canberra from 20 to 22 January. Patricia Cam sank on 22 January 1943 after being bombed by a Japanese float plane. Society members participated in the Gosford (plaque unveiling where she was built) and Canberra last post ceremony at the Australian War Memorial.
