In Papua New Guinea an influential volunteer group has described as "feeble" the government's response to the country's HIV AIDS epidemic. In the twelve months since BAHA - the Business Coalition against HIV AIDS - began operating, it's already approved 42 HIV workplace policies for employers. By contrast, the government's National Aids Council has been in existence for a decade and has been plagued by bureaucratic wrangles and maladministration. Business Coalition boss Rod Mitchell is critical of the government's leadership in the battle against one of PNG's biggest threats.
