Peter Spencer

He's now 61, but in his younger days worked in the hotel and tourism industry in Papua New Guinea.
God ... I didn't realise it was that Peter Spencer on the TV News! I haven't seen him since the 80s or early 90s and didn't recognise him!!

Apparently he was successful there, and ended up owning some hotels.
Not quite correct, but I guess close enough. He "leased" Karawari Lodge in the late 1970s until the rent became due.... Last I saw him would have been the '80s at "The Sticks and Stones" at Kagamuga, Mt Hagen, until that motel burnt down.

"Peter Spencer is a complicated and volatile character."
That would be a fair but "conservative" assessment. He was certainly very "different"!
