Welcome to our website

This website was created to analyse development challenges facing Papua New Guinea (PNG) and to promote debate on how they impact on the lives of ordinary Papua New Guineans. I am a journalist by profession and worked for the mainstream media in PNG as well as the British High Commission in Port Moresby. I firmly support free speech and advocate the role that the media can play in promoting transparency and accountability in government. Please do find time to read our Discl aimer and Privacy Policy and I welcome comments or suggestions. You can also follow me on Twitter: ARheeney
