Sadly "Foreign Correspondent' and Sid got it right nearly 12 months ago.
Of course Australia will assist with the accident investigation, PNG doesn't provide any money for themselves to do so.
The Asian Development Bank is currently throwing money at PNG for "Aviation Infrastructure" improvements. How much of that money will finish up in the pocket of a highly placed PNG CAA officer with well documented connections to Russian Helicopter operators? Graft and corruption has become the 'normal ' business practice in PNG, why would this money be any different!
Aviation in PNG will continue to be the backbone of transport in country, something it has been doing for 60 or so years.
