PNG NGOs protest against forestry bill

Brian,

the NGOs have beem picketing at the Parliament roundabout for almost a week
against the Proposed Forestry Act Amendment.

On Friday, all the landowners plus some members of the NGO's, including X, Y and others, extended the protest inside the parliament chamber public gallery, by removing their
shirts and exposing their yellow t-shirts they wore inside, that had the
message:

"Vote Against the Bill".

That angered the Prime Minister, who said this was a contempt of Parliament.

EM TV broadcasted this nationwide.
