Businessman says Australia 'over lectures' PNG on governance

An Australian business executive says Australia "over lectures" Papua New Guinea on governance when it should be concerned with ensuring its aid programs deliver services effectively.

Australia gives PNG up to $US300 million a year in aid to improve governance and support broad-based economic development initiatives.

The chairman of the Papua New Guinea Sustainable Development company, Ken Baxter, says he feels quite embrassed as an Australian when PNG is lectured on principles of governance.

Mr Baxter says PNG has made significant progress since independence.

He says Australia tends to over emphasise the significance of good governance "when the real problem is getting effective delivery from our aid programs here in Papua New Guinea".

"And I think one of the major issues is exactly the same that confronts the Commonwealth and Australian states... is getting somebody to get off their backside and actually make an agreement and do something," he said.
