It is good to read that Australia is giving support to the PNG nation by helping the Family and Sexual Violence Unit at Boroko police station in Port Moresby.
The support has been overseen by the new Ambassador for Women and Girls Natasha Stott Despoja who was once the leader of the Australian Democrats. From the point of view of an expatriate in Papua New Guinea, she seems like a good lady who is carrying no baggage into the job.
Giving support to police is a professional step that leaves behind the bad old days of gay and lesbian corruption. I wish Natasha all the best. No more lesbian love nests. A new accountability appears to be on the way. United Nations lesbians will be left far behind.
There is one error in the report. The Interim Restraining Order is issued by the police not the Courts. It is a quick measure that is often ignored by violent men who want to bash their wives into not going back to the police.
Ms Despoja should not forget the statistics given out at an earlier time by the Seventh Day Adventist church that 46% of violence in this country is committed by women against men. The figure has probably risen since then.
She should realize that the relationship between men and women is changing. Perhaps it is in transition.
Women are starting to go out, play cards, spend family money, have relationships with mobile phones, drink homebrew and smoke marijuana. Good men are being bashed. But there is no safe house for men.
