Papua New Guinea politician criticises Australia’s reaction to Chinese fisheries park
A Papua New Guinean governor has criticised Australia’s response to a plan to establish a Chinese fisheries park on PNG’s border, saying Australia wants the “status quo” of poverty in the region to remain.
Key points:
- A proposal for a Chinese fisheries park at Daru Island has raised concerns in Canberra
- Local governor Toboi Awi Yoto has criticised the Australian Government in a social media post
- He accused Australia of deterring foreign investment that would “alleviate poverty and improve social services”
In November last year, the Papua New Guinean Government signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to look at building a $200 million “comprehensive multi-functional fishery industrial park” on Daru Island, which borders the Torres Strait.
