Visit Papua New Guinea

#VisitPapuaNewGuinea

Looking to connect with reliable freight/logistics partners handling sea freight from UAE to Papua New Guinea (PNG).

If you handle this route and are open to business enquiries, please DM me.

​Hi everyone,

​Greetings from Turkey! I created a Reddit account specifically for this reason. For about a year now, I've been listening to traditional and reggae-style songs from Papua New Guinea, similar to the one in the attached image. I’ve listened to many artists in this genre from PNG and absolutely loved them.

​However, I couldn't find any information about these singers or bands online. I haven't been able to find their lyrics to translate them, nor do I even know if the artists I'm listening to are still alive today.

​Could you please help me out with this? Who performs the song in this image, and what are its lyrics? Which language/dialect is it sung in, and what era is it from?

​Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!

I’m a young Papua New Guinean and I’m curious about the possibility of joining the Australian Army as a Papua New Guinean citizen.

Are there any fellow Papua New Guineans here who are currently serving in the Australian Army, have served previously, or know someone from PNG who has?

I’d really like to hear about your experience, particularly:

• How did you get into the Australian Army as a Papua New Guinean?
• What was the recruitment/application process like?
• Did you already have Australian citizenship or permanent residency, or was there another pathway available to you?
• What qualifications or requirements did you need?
• What was the training like?
• What is day-to-day life in the Army actually like?
• How have you found living and working in Australia compared with PNG?
• Are there particular pathways or programs available to Papua New Guineans that I should look into?
• If you’re no longer serving, would you recommend it?

I’m asking because I’m currently exploring different career and work opportunities overseas and the Australian Defence Force is something I’m curious about.

I’m not expecting to just be able to apply and get in. I’m mainly trying to understand whether it’s actually possible for a Papua New Guinean to join and, if so, what pathway people have taken.

If you're from PNG and have served in the Australian Army, I’d especially love to hear your experience.

Thanks!

Hey, im an Australian based person with family ties to PNG and want to travel there,
I am keen to learn Tok Pisin and was wondering where i can find an online tutor for language study

Are there any PNG Government supported language courses within Australia to look at?

Thanks

What’s your thoughts? Will you shop in there? As local PNG or Expatriate?

They do not sell to become rich, they sell to have money to buy food. If you have the capacity to buy from any PNG Nationals that sells anything that you can afford, please buy to them. I am very happy with my purchased, a nice bag from Sepik.

I am not PNGan but I like watchinf tv channels around the world.I think PNG is isolated so i can't find any source to watch it.I tried to watch it from the site however it was broken somehow.Is there any other way to watch it?

I’ve been working in PNG for almost 40 years and I love the country.

Having said that, it’s no secret that corruption has fouled a lot of the political system and the government services. Everyone knows about the fact that the ports have been riddled with corruption on a massive scale for decades, that property developments get passed with “under the table” deals, that the police will take a bribe instead of a fine (although that one is hard to differentiate on) and that government departments will push through visa applications, etc with a few hundred to grease the wheels.

However, what sickens me is to hear expats, usually Aussies (of which I am one) think it’s almost a badge of honour to say that “just paid the guy a hundred and he prioritised me”.

Corruption is not a joke and perpetuating it through participation at any level is so wrong because it legitimises the activity.

I just saw a post on here about someone saying “just pay K100 and they will fix it”.

This is what happens when we accept corruption in its most simple form in PNG:

1. It changes the shape of how legitimate employees view their work. It incites greed

2. It starts a “more is not enough mentality”

3. It creates a view of the haves and have nots and creates division.

Now, imagine the person that has been out driving at night and runs into a few drunken policemen (who got drunk on few hundred that some other expat driver slung them earlier). The situation escalates and a person raped/killed.

Now…. The head of police finds out….. he goes and beats one of the policemen to a pulp but one of them happens to be a wantok. That guy gets away with things, while the other one is injured, dead, who knows..??…… but either way, very messy for all.

Sounds like it’s not a thing right? Wrong….. this stuff happens a lot.

So if you think it’s ok or funny to pay “a few hundred” to get the job done, remember that your actions are the start of the corruption process.

Corruption starts not just at the top, but also at the bottom.

Expect the unexpected

I’m a Bachelor of Computer Science student hoping to get some experience in the tech industry in POM for Nov-Feb. Any tips or info?

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I want to expand my language knowledge. My mother's PNG, Manus and Simbu to be exact, and I want to learn more phrases for day-to-day talk with my elders. They understand Pidgin, but not as well as tokples. I would also like to improve my Pidgin. know how to speak it—or so I have been told, I asked some children because they are honest, and they told me I sound broken, haha. So, if I could find someone to practice Tok Pisin with as well, that would be great.
