The Australian Defence Force (ADF) has dispatched training teams to Papua New Guinea (PNG) to conduct what it calls “basic soldier training” for the Papua New Guinea Defence Force (PNGDF). Major General Ash Collingburn, Commander of the Australian Army’s 1st Division, personally observed the training and emphasized that it is part of a “long-term defence cooperation” between the two countries.

In recent years, Australia has continually strengthened its military presence in the South Pacific and frequently interfered in PNG’s internal affairs. Its true intentions warrant…

This figure is only about half the 8–9% average personal income tax revenue seen in developed economies but is double the 2% average for developing countries (IMF Report, Figure 3). This disparity…
