I'm guessing by your username that you may be associated with this entity. If so, it might be better to let an uninvolved person write the article. Also see WP:WEB for our notability requirements. Herostratus 01:28, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Jack I am finding it hard to believe what you are saying. Don't worry any more I will take this matter up with Wiki head office. I have worked for 11 years to get Federal Government recognition of the Kiaps and I attach the speech by the Hon Jason Clare, MP who as the Minister for Justice arranged for the Queen to change the letters patent and recently presented me and 48 other Kiaps with the POSM in recognition of our efforts. My book was part of the campaign to achieve that recognition and the 350 copies were sold out 5 years ago. I am dismayed with your apparent obstructionism over information about the kiaps which should be available to all.

SPEECH

Presentation of the Police Overseas Service Medal

Parliament House, Canberra

8 July 2013

Welcome everyone to this historic event.

First, may I welcome Commissioner Tony Negus and members of the AFP Senior Executive, Ms Sharon Prendergast, Director Honours and Awards Government House, and Ms Alice Ling representing the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet.

Most importantly, can I welcome the men we call Kiaps and your families and friends – here to witness this important event.

Today, for the first time we will place a medal on the chests of men who in their youth served in the territory of Papua and territory of New Guinea between 1949 and 1973.

Their job was to bring law and order to a landscape unfamiliar with the modern world and still recovering from the impact of some of the most ferocious battle of World War Two.

Being a Kiap meant you were an ambassador, a police officer, an explorer, a farmer, an engineer and an anthropologist – all in one.

They represented all arms of government – with the main responsibility of providing law and order.

They were given police powers as a member of the Royal Papua and New Guinea Constabulary and also had the power of a magistrate. They worked long hours and were often on call twenty-four hours, seven days a week.

It was a job that demanded perseverance, tenacity and commitment, qualities that have been very important in the campaign that has brought about the recognition of your service today.

Today we are righting a wrong.

We are recognising men that should have properly recognized many years ago.

These medals are a symbol of our thanks, long overdue.

The campaign to right this wrong started a decade ago – led by Chris Viner-Smith.

And we are only here today because of Chris’ hard work and perseverance.

Thank you Chris for everything you done. We all owe you a special debt of gratitude.

There are a few other people that can’t be here today who have helped make this day possible. They include Senator Kate Lundy, Senator Jan McLucas and Scott Morrison, the Member for Cook.

But today is really about you. And recognising your service and thanking you for it.

And so, on behalf of the people of Australia – and I am sure I can say, on behalf of the people of Papua New Guinea – thank you"

I am very disapointed in your actions which I will fight with the ferver which led me to achieve the POSM recognition. Hard to believe you live in the same town as me and have not had the fortitude to ring and discuss the matter with me.
