  • 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

  • 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.

  • Are the People of Manda in Middle Fly Poor? a Development Assessment Using the Oxford Multidimensional Poverty Index
    84 Burton, Are the people of Manda in Middle Fly poor? Are the people of Manda in Middle Fly poor? A development assessment using the Oxford Multidimensional Poverty Index John Burton Abstract The village of Manda in the Middle Fly District of Papua New Guinea lies in the floodplain of the Fly River among the riverine villages in the downstream impact zone of the Ok Tedi mine. As part of Ok Tedi Mining Limited’s social and environmental monitoring and livelihood restorations programmes, visits for the purpose of development assessment were made to the village in 1994 and in 2014. Estimates of child mortality, income poverty and Manda’s score on UNDP’s Multidimensional Poverty Index are used to decide whether the people of Manda are experiencing poverty. The conclusion is that they are in fact extremely poor by world standards. Key words: Poverty, MPI, Multidimensional Poverty Index, Ok Tedi, Fly River, mining impacts, environment, livelihoods. Introduction Early in the life of the Ok Tedi mine, located in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea (PNG), experts from the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) and the South Pacific Regional Environmental Programme (SPREP) met in Guam and predicted significant environmental impacts in the floodplain of the Fly River, downstream of the mine (Pernetta, 1988), recommending a programme of vigilant monitoring by independent scientists. Unfortunately, funds never became available for this. In 1994, I visited the village of Manda (Figure 1), situated in the centre of the floodplain in the Middle Fly District as part of a research consultancy run by UPNG aimed at providing an audit of social and development issues among the river communities downstream of the Ok Tedi copper mine (Burton, 1995).
