What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A court order may prevent polling and access to certain state assets in the Angore gas fields, including the area of Prime Minister James Marape’s office in Tari-Pori. The Angore Gas Landowners Association stated that this order reinforces a 2015 ruling barring state agents from entering their land unless the government releases a K12 million Business Development Grant. This grant is required to complete social-mapping and landowner-identification in the Angore gas fields.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The strategic state assets affected by the dispute include the Highlands Highway, the KOMO international airport, the power transmission line to the Porgera gold mine, and the start of the PNG LNG pipeline to the Napanapa gas conditioning plant. The government must secure cabinet approval for the grant to move the identification process forward.
