PNG officials take aid worker pay issue to business forum
Updated
While tension between Papua New Guinean locals and ethnic-Asian businessmen erupted across PNG last week, it emerged that some Australian aid workers there earn more than Australia's Prime Minister. As attacks continued, the Papua New Guinea Australia Business Forum met in Madang - pleased that more Australian aid could be devoted to improving PNG's infrastructure. But PNG's foreign minister, Sam Abal, also told the forum that far too much Australian aid money went to consultants.
