	Endemism in Australian mammals
		Australia possesses a unique assemblage of mammal species, of which over 80% are endemic.
		New Guinea and Australia have relatively similar mammal faunas because they were once one land mass until 15 million years ago when the land bridge between them subsided.
		The levels of endemism among Australia's native eutherian mammals, bats and most rodents, are lower than those found in the marsupials and monotremes.

		Australia's remaining frontier forests are confined largely to Tasmania, Cape York, and the northwestern region.

	Australia-Papua New Guinea Business Council Breakfast, Port Moresby
		Papua New Guinea has benefited, of course, substantially from the massive resources boom which is being driven, more than any single factor, by China.
		That will be very good for Papua New Guinea, particularly bearing in mind that a number of long standing projects are starting to come to the end of their lives and will affect the Papua New Guinea economy.
		For example, within the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary we would like to see a properly resourced anti-corruption unit – well-resourced, I mean they do have one but I mean it has a budget of K300-K400, 000 a year and employs a very small number of people.

		To many both in Australia and in Papua New Guinea, it will be seen as a solution to the ‘law and order’ crisis in PNG but in reality it will create an even deeper crisis.
		In 1975, Australia gave PNG its independence, while this was a landmark step for the people of Papua New Guinea, corruption, lawlessness, separatist tensions and poverty continued and deepened.
		Thirdly and the most obvious is that Australian capitalists want their interests in Papua New Guinea in terms of mining, fishing and industry to be better protected than it would be under PNG control.
