POSTAL, local radio telephone and telecommunications ser vices, which have been run by the Papua-New Guinea Adminis tration, will probably be taken over by the Australia Postmaster- General’s Department.
Mr. Anthony, who has been visit ing P-NG in his capacity as Minister of Civil Aviation, but who is also Postmaster-General, dis cussed the transfer with the Ad
ministrator while he was in Port Moresby.
He said that such a transfer would result in general improve ment in the P-NG postal services.
He said that the Territory had now reached a stage where a purely local postal administration was handi capped in obtaining technical officers and equipment for improve ment.
