My PNG experience started in 1975 and finishing last year (not all flying, but all aviation-related), and I also feel entitled to comment as I see fit.
Is PNG a failed state? Probably not yet in a technical sense, but the people in charge up there seem to be trying really bloody hard to make it happen.
Paul Barker, PNG Institute of National Affairs, commented on the problem of 1,300 PNG government institutions not communicating well with each other.
They tread on each other's toes. We have some of the worst health services, lowest immunisation rates, et cetera, in the world. So you wouldn't say PNG is a failed state, but it's constantly failing, it's failing its citizens.
