BOOK LAUNCH IN BRISBANE
Association members were delighted to meet up with Major-General Jerry Singirok (former PNGDF Commander) at a book launch at the Avid Reader bookshop in West End. General Singirok was a central figure in the controversial Sandline Affair in PNG which brought the PNGDF into critical dispute with the National Government. General Singirok’s book is entitled ‘A Matter of Conscience’ and tells of these controversial events from his point of view.
THE PRESIDENT AND COMITTEE MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK ALL ASSOCIATION MEMBERS FOR THEIR LOYALTY & WISH EVERYONE –
A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR!
