Cover picture: When Jennifer Abaijah was crowned Miss Papua New Guinea 1981 at this year’s Red Cross Ball in Port Moresby her only immediate comment was 7 don’t know what to say’. Her lack of anythinq to sa y was something of a family contrast she’s the younger sister of one of PNG’s most outspoken politicians Josephine Abaijah. Jennifer, wearing a traditional and colourful Trobriand skirt, was photographed for our cover by Air Niugini public relations manager, Biga Lebasi.
