The Australian National Contact Point for an international standard on responsible business conduct has agreed to investigate a complaint lodged on behalf of thousands of people in PNG who say they have not given consent for Pan Aust to build an enormous copper and gold mine in their area.

The communities in Morobe who are concerned about Wafi Golpu and communities in the Sepik are facing the same type of threat: the waste from an enormous copper and gold mine.
Today, 2,638 people from 64 villages along the Sepik River in Papua New Guinea have filed a complaint with the Australian Government against Brisbane-based PanAust Limited, for failing to obtain their consent to the proposed Frieda River Mine. If built, the mine would be the largest ever in Papua New Guinea and among the largest mines in the world
Project Sepik put a lot of effort and thinking into getting Covid protocols in place for the Supreme Sukundimi Follow Up Workshop.
Governor Allan Bird recently attended the Supreme Sukundimi Declaration Follow Up workshop, which brought together community, spiritual and clan leaders of 49 villages on the Sepik River.
