Cold Weather Drives MP’s North
WINTER down south brings head colds; up north, it brings Aus tralian politicians.
Another two weeks, Papua-New Guinea tour, commencing July 10, has been arranged for eight Federal politicians. The party comes from both sides of the house and it will “make a general survey of condi tions and Government administra tion in Australian-controlled terri tories.”
This has been going on for years, of course. During this time, Terri torians have learned a lot about Austalian politicians. It is doubtful if Australian politicians have learned as much about Territorians.
The Minister for Territories, Mr.
Paul Hasluck, spent a couple of weeks in New Guinea, including the Highlands, in June. t Ratu Penaia Ganilau, Roko Tui Cakaudrove, has been elected by the Fiji Rugby Union to be tour man ager of the Fiji rugby team to tour New Zealand. It will be recom mended to the Government that Ratu Penaia be appointed Govern ment representative with the team.
Mr. J. W. Ackroyd, headmaster of the Suva Boys’ Grammar School, has been appointed team manager, and Apakuki Tuitavua, who cap tained the Fijian teams in Australia in 1952 and 1954, is co-manager.
