you are not serious, are you? What a warped version of history that would be, it does not even follow the facts, PNG was part of Queensland and could have and should have remained that way IMHO.
The Australian diggers did most of the fighting from what I recall from the time? It was not a neighbour, it was a region of Queensland, they did not want part of Australia. Australia should have taken the hint and not continued and discontinue to help them out.
as for foreign aid, it should be shelved. if the MSS and Beijing want to spread their money around, let them.
Australia should worry about themselves and their citizens and not anyone else in the world. Australia will need to and will have to.
