Mr Anthony Regan, from ANU College of Asia and the Pacific, has spent many years in Papua New Guinea and has been an adviser to Bougainville parties in the Bougainville peace process since 1994. He will be giving his public lecture on, Bougainville: resolving the divisive issues – the referendum and the future of mining. Abstract: Although the Bougainville Peace Agreement of August 2001 has been remarkably successful so far, it also deferred decisions on the two most sensitive and divisive sets of issues – Bougainville’s possible independence, and the future of large scale mining. As the five year window within which an independence referendum must be held (mid 2015 to mid-2020) approaches, the two sets of issues are increasingly becoming linked. This presentation will explore the issues and options facing the key stakeholders as they engage on both sets of issues. This presentation is sponsored by the Australian High Commission, Wellington and Victoria University of Wellington. For catering purposes, RSVP to Genevieve Beirne by 22 June 2014.
