The Lapitas – Our story before 1975 | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WHILE the land that is today Papua New Guinea and West Papua has had peoples inhabiting it for thousands of years, the Lapita peoples were a relatively recent arrival. New Guinea and its outlying islands were inhabited by what archaeologists call Australo-Papuans for about 46,700 years until the Lapitas arrived. But they didn’t just one day arrive in one huge group and settle. This was a gradual expansion and exploration and it started from what is today Taiwan. As I have outlined on the map, th
A proposal to redesign flag of Enga | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
FLAGS are used to represent a group of people, a country, a kingdom, an idea, or a belief. They are one of the oldest forms of identity known to human civilisation. Ancient armies carried them into battle so soldiers knew who they were fighting for. Nations plant them on conquered land to say this belongs to us now.

Read excerpt
AS someone in tech, I would first like to applaud the government in their efforts with regards to technology. The recent announcement about the new AI datacentre, called Kumul Cloud Infinity, and their prioritisation of digital sovereignty sounds great. That’s the right mindset. We as a sovereign nation cannot entrust state secrets and confidential information to foreign offshore companies. There are a whole host of issues that are screaming at me, and it’s all caused by the fact that there isn’
Would one vote against blood? | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
OUTSIDE of the Highlands region, the national election looks different. There are booths with privacy. The pen is not tied to a string. No one is straining their necks to see what you write. The box travels back to the polling centre without any incidents. The count proceeds in orderly fashion. And when the result is announced, the losers accept defeat and everyone goes back to what they were doing. Democracy, we tell ourselves, has worked. But look closer. In some electorates, the electoral rol
