Impressed Backing of First Past The Post for PNG
Mr Kaumi praised the first past the post system and urged its adoption in Papua New Guinea in a government report. He argued the Australian preferential voting is too complex for village voters. He noted about 65 percent turnout in the Territory this year, with 50 percent voting in towns and 5 percent in rural areas. He added that politicians rise and fall based on the people, while ministers are guided by senior public servants.
