Can the churches save our closest neighbour from a total COVID catastrophe? : Comments
By Jeffrey Wall, published 15/10/2021Nothing better illustrates this than the reality that just over 200,000 people out of an adult population of six million has received one vaccination - with probably no more than 50,000 fully vaccinated.

There was a time when PNG was a colony of Australia and it was well run and it even made a profit. Today, whatever profit gets made in PNG goes into the pockets of their elites while we foot the bill for everybody else to the tune of half a billion dollars every year.
Here's a thought. If we now think that colonialism and paternalism was just awful, and if we are sick and tired of paying out to that financial black hole called PNG, why don't we just encourage the Indonesians to take the whole bloody place over?
We could ask them to take over the 'aboriginal" areas of NT as well, which would save us another $10 billion a year too. The Indos might even be able to stop the aborigines from drinking alcohol and make them take their kids to school.
