The stuff about the US compound there is partly down to a huge failure on Australia’s part during the 9 years of Conservative Govt from 13-22 (our Conservative Party confusingly called The Liberals) who totally dropped the ball on our role in the alliance with the US in the pacific region because it was a quasi populist Govt that didn’t take governing seriously, thankfully the new Labor Govt is stepping up since they came to power but China got a huge head start in the region during those 9 wasted years

Interesting! I didn't know that backstory. Glad to hear that Australia is re-engaging with PNG!
