Australia and PNG ministers resurrect a version of the ECP
Updated
Cabinet Ministers from Australia and Papua New Guinea have agreed on a modified version of the failed Enhanced Cooperation Program. At their summit in the PNG town of Madang yesterday they announced that Australia will be assisting PNG in areas of governance, but controversial aspects of the old scheme such as having Australian police patrolling the streets alongside local police won't be part of the new scheme. The ECP was ruled unconstitutional by PNG courts, and didn't go ahead.
