Bishop Philip Huggins, with West Papuans Gipson Suu and Drs Jacob Rumbiak, at Sunday morning mass on 7 September 2025, at St Silas Anglican Parish of the Parks. The mass honoured the historic ties between West Papua, Papua New Guinea and Torres Strait. Dr Rumbiak asked the congregation to ‘do what Jesus did’, and to forgive the Indonesian state for its crimes in West Papua since 1962.

Celebrating Papua New Guinea’s 50th anniversary of Independence at Yarraville Gardens. Our West Papuan community felt so honoured and happy to be invited to perform and share our culture on this special day. ❤️💛🖤🇵🇬

Join us for another great day at the West Papuan Office in Docklands (Victoria, Australia) on Sunday 31 August 2025 at 2pm (1pm for a great Papuan lunch). This time we are launching a memoir, maybe the first written by a West Papuan. 'The Stowaway, from Sorong to Rotterdam' was written by Eddy Korwa, who escaped his homeland in 1964 hidden in the engine room of the last Dutch cargo ship to dock in West Papua . We are also auctioning an historic (1975) full-colour newspaper from Papua New Guinea, dated the day of the nation's independence in 1975. It's in good condition, despite its production half-a-century ago. Hope to see you there. BTW, the address is Lifestyle Building, 838 Collins Street, Docklands (Melbourne)

Join us this Palm Sunday 13th April for banner and flag raising on Princess Bridge at 1pm, followed by music, information, and activities 1:30-3:30pm at Tom's Block in the Royal Botanic Gardens. We'll have a stall - come say hi!

Stand up for Justice and Kindness. 🤎
