Completed
Mr. Justice Mann, Chief Jus tice of Papua-New Guinea, who was Commissioner of the In quiry into the events that led up to the shooting of two natives by police at Navuneram village, New Britain, on August 4, has completed his report. It is now in the hands of the Minister for Territories in Can berra.
The Minister will, it is said, table the report in the House or Representatives “soon”. But it can’t be that soon. Federal Parliamentarians are still re covering from their recent elec tioneering and the House will not meet before February at earliest. r So the Navuneram fracas will be at least six months old be fore Territorians will be able to read all about it, in the official report.
