	Papua New Guinea (09/05)
		The term "New Guinea" was applied to the island in 1545 by a Spaniard, Íñigo Ortiz de Retes, because of a fancied resemblance between the islands' inhabitants and those found on the African Guinea coast.
		Papua was administered under the Papua Act until the Japanese invaded the northern parts of the islands in 1941 and began to advance on Port Moresby and civil administration was suspended.

		The Papua New Guinea Government responded to their outraged protests by pointing out that the BIG/BRA leaders had declined offers of secured transport and had not informed the government of their travel plans; but there was a widespread feeling that the incident could have been a deliberate attempt at assassination.
		Prior to 1994, Papua New Guinea military intelligence assessments suggested that the security forces did not have the capacity to take and hold the core BRA-controlled areas of south-central Bougainville (assessments which were borne out by events).
		Attempts to dictate action to the Papua New Guinea Government (for example by tying aid to policy actions) is likely to be either ineffective (as it has been in the case of the helicopters) of counter-productive.

		To the good people of West Papua New Guinea, who also seek to be free from Indonesian colonial rule, I rise to share some 36 years of your pain and your suffering and of the slaughter and the murdering of your people by the Indonesian military.
		In 1883, the island of New Guinea came under colonial rule and was partitioned by three western powers.
		East Timor was formerly a colony of Portugal, and West Papua New Guinea was a colonial possession of the Dutch or the Netherlands.

	Week-long military revolt shakes Papua New Guinea government
		The position of the Papua New Guinea (PNG) government remains precarious after a tense week-long standoff in the capital of Port Moresby with hundreds of rebellious troops.
		According to military spokesmen, the rebel soldiers seized the armoury after rumours spread that those pensioned off were to receive only 10,000 kina and that 700 Australian troops, including paratroopers and SAS units, were due to land in Port Moresby to supervise the changes.
		Australian troops are currently part of a “peace-keeping” force in the PNG province of Bougainville, as part of ceasefire arrangements to end the long-running civil war on the island.

	Papua New Guinea 1999: Crisis of Governance (Research Paper 4 1999-2000)
		Papua New Guinea's domestic crisis became an international one, and China's annoyance had the capacity to destabilise regional bodies and weaken PNG's strategic situation.
		New MPs are financially stretched just after elections in PNG and this is a time when their votes if not loyalties are-literally-sold in blatant 'horse-trading'.(15) People from Papua (the southern region) had long argued it was their turn to lead a government which helped Skate.
		Papua New Guineans appear to use this terminology in discussing their political problems, whereas aid donors have tended to see governance matters as technical issues of administrative capacity.

		Papua New Guinea is struggling to survive as a viable nation.
		At the national level, the Papua New Guinean constitution makes it clear that what is under the ground belongs to the state, but customary landowners hotly contest this notion at the local level.
		If the ‘Free Papua’ campaign for independence were to spill over the border into neighbouring and culturally similar PNG, Australia could find itself caught in the middle between its defence ties with PNG and maintaining good relations with Indonesia.

		The news provoked large protests in Port Moresby and a virtual rebellion in the PNG armed forces, compelling Chan to stand down.
		Having taken colonial control of Papua in the nineteenth century, Australia was handed the more developed German colony of New Guinea after World War I as the quid pro quo for the sacrifice of tens of thousands of Australian troops in defence of British imperialism.
		The Howard government’s agenda in Papua New Guinea is similar to its program at home: savage economic restructuring to boost the profits of Australian business and “law-and-order” measures aimed at attacking the democratic rights of the vast majority of ordinary people.
