PNG Wants Australian Police Back On The Beat



(Post Courier)

PNG’s Internal Security Minister Sani Rambi says he wants Australian police redeployed in Papua New Guinea to tackle law and order issues, but on Papua New Guinea’s terms, reports the Post Courier.

Rambi supports a new influx of Australian police under a revamped Enhanced Cooperation Program (ECP) police initiative between the two countries.

PNG’s police chief also said an Australia-PNG policing scheme needed to be on the agenda.

The topic is expected to be discussed during Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s PNG tour, which starts today.
