PNG Fuzzy Wuzzies still waiting recognition
Updated
Papua New Guineans known as Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels who helped Australian soldiers during the Second World War, are still waiting for official recognition from Australia. PNG historian, Maclaren Hiari says the current move by Tasmanian Liberal Senator Guy Barnett for official recognition, gives the surviving Fuzzy Wuzzies some hope. Mr Hiari says a formal commitment by the Australian and PNG governments in 1992 to recognise the Fuzzy Wuzzies has never been honoured.
