The sentencing of a 19 year old Papua New Guinean man to 50 years hard labor for the murder of an Australian man has caused a stir of controversy. The National Court in Lae sentenced Carl Arua Beni to jail, after being found guilty last week to the brutal killing of the former Zenag Chicken general manager at his home in November 2005.

Presenter: Sonja Heydeman
Speaker: Hank Nelson, Professor of History, Australian National University; John Nonggorr, former Professor of Law at the University of PNG
