“If someone can go & hand a brown paper bag to someone working in govt & get a leg up, an unfair advantage, then you push out those genuine investors who are going to come & contribute to your economy,” says East Sepik Governor Allan Bird. “The people themselves are going to start investing. But that kind of confidence can only come if the big picture is pointing in a direction where we know that we are all going to have a fair, equal operating environment.” https://lnkd.in/gKCT8Fkm #PNGUpdate The Australian National University (ANU) Crawford School of Public Policy
