"…I can tell you, it may disappoint you, but West Papua was not raised by the PNG Prime Minister."
The Prime Ministers of Australia and New Zealand held a bilateral meeting today, the first since Helen Clark's
re-election for a third term as NZ PM. Afterwards they held a brief press conference with New Zealand and Australian
media.
Among the issues discussed in the Press Conference were:
- West Papua

- Helen Clark's re-election
- The Pacific Plan and PACER
