"…I can tell you, it may
disappoint you, but West Papua was not raised by the PNG
Prime Minister."
The Prime Ministers of Australia and New Zealand held a bilateral meeting today, the first since Helen Clark's re-election for a third term as NZ PM. Afterwards they held a brief press conference with New Zealand and Australian media.
Among the issues
discussed in the Press Conference were:

Papua
- Labour Mobility

Solomon Islands
