What Has Happened To It ?

IT was reported in Canberra many weeks ago that an inter-departmental com mittee, appointed by the Govern ment of Australia, was considering de tails of a ten-year plan for the develop ment of Papua-New Guinea.

It has either been pigeon-holed, in the best bureaucratic manner; or it is hidden away somewhere, behind official red-tape and bureaucratic smoke-screens.
