papua new guinea

In Australia we're about to approach 13 million people fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

But in the only country with which Australia shares a common border, Papua New Guinea, the number of people fully vaccinated is...

61,221 (that's 0.67% of the eligible population as at October 5)

PNG and many other countries worldwide, especially in central Africa, needs urgent help through vaccine donation and other logistical aid.

Australia is one of the wealthier countries in a position to help. But will we?

"Having two umpires from your own club officiating in a match in which you need 12 runs off the last over is a recipe for disaster and that is what nearly transpired during the match.

The last over of the day proved incendiary as Poreporena, needing 12 to win, were given a blatant hand by clubman Rarua Agalu standing as square leg umpire when he chose not to give his own team captain John Ovia out for a clear-cut run out off the first ball."
