 New Guinea Company Ltd v Thomason [1978] PNGLR 33 (3 February 1978)
Counsel for the plaintiff company did not bother a great deal about the legal effect of the agreement because it was his contention throughout that the guarantee was to be construed as a document on its own and not by reference to the agreement.
He says further that from a perusal of the deed of guarantee it is clear that the agreement forms a part of the guarantee and must be read with the guarantee in order to ascertain the intention of the parties.
He contends that as the plaintiff company supplied goods in excess of the value of $250.00 per month and supplied them when they were ordered by persons other than Thomason or Hila Morea the defendant is not liable on the guarantee.

 09/03/00 -- PAPUA NEW GUINEA: Mine company expected devastation
A report into the daily operations of Papua New Guinea's Tolukuma goldmine claims that the mine's Australian operators expect to wipe out all fish life and food resources along a 30-kilometre stretch of a nearby river.
The resulting report, “Cyanide Crash: Report on the Tolukuma Gold Mine Cyanide Spill in Papua New Guinea, March 2000”, quotes Dome Resource's own environmental information, prepared in 1993, which states, “High sediment deposition rates are expected to cause obliterative impacts on the fish habitats and food resources of these sediment impacted reaches”.
The report authors criticise the mine's environmental plan for its lack of discussion of the impact of heavy metals on fish and humans, and its failure to acknowledge bio-accumulation (when toxins are not excreted by humans and animals, but continue to accumulate in their bodies).
