Arbitration For P-Ng Public

From Our Own Correspondent

Port Moresby, March 10.

A TERRITORY Public Service Arbi tration Ordinance was signed by the Governor-General-in-Council in Can berra on March 1.

This crowns the efforts of the Public Service Association in their fight for arbitration and conciliation in the settle ment of disputes on civil service matters.

When the ordinance comes into opera tion it should remove many of the grievances which have plagued the whole public service set-up over the past few years.

When members of the MCC cricket team which has been touring Australia and NZ passed through Nadi Airport, Fiji, on April 1, a Kava ceremony was arranged in their honour by Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna.
