Talk:Law of Papua New Guinea

British possession
No PNG was not a British possession under Australian administration prior to 1975. Legislation relating to PNG emanated from the Australian parliament. This crazy suggestion that Australia wasn't an independent nation or that it did not exercise full control of PNG up until at least 1972 has to stop. Please read the PNG Independence Act for one thing. Other matters... - I've never read anywhere that PNG contemplated having its own head of state. The wording of the constitution is not enough to justify the claim nor does the absence of the Queen on currency. In any case the constitution is pretty clear on the matter.

''For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared that— (a) in this Constitution— (i) a reference to "the Head of State" is a reference to the Queen and Head of State of Papua New Guinea for the time being and includes a reference to the person or persons exercising sovereignty over the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the event of the youth or incapacity of the person in that sovereignty;''

I'm not saying it happened but if it did it needs a citation.

- The PNG constitution states "the principles and rules that formed, immediately before Independence Day, the principles and rules of common law and equity in England are adopted, and shall be applied and enforced, as part of the underlying law." The article states "this means decisions made by UK courts but That is to say, decisions of the High Court of Australia, the Judicial Committee of the Imperial Privy Council, not being part of the common law of England, and indeed of the pre-independence courts of Papua New Guinea itself are not part of Papua New Guinea law; but decisions of the House of Lords, the English Court of Appeal, the English Queen's Bench and other English courts up until Papua New Guinea's independence are." Okay maybe it does but again a citation is needed.Tigerman2005 (talk) 07:07, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

For casual information, PRENTICE; The late Sir William Prentice and the late Lady Mary Prentice, former residents of Olympia Road, and pioneers of the native suburban garden, would be delighted that Prentice Park in Naremburn was opened in their honour by Mayor Pat Reilly on 18 August 2007.
