ABA says PNG Government must lift travel ban on Australian lawyers

30/09/2015

The Australian Bar Association is concerned by reports that two Australian lawyers, both of whom have a right of practise in Papua New Guinea, are being denied entry to the country. The Papua New Guinea Law Society, in a statement issued yesterday, confirmed that Greg Egan and Terence Lambert hold current practising certificates. Both lawyers are representing members of the PNG Police in matters relating to a warrant of arrest for the prime minister of PNG, Peter O’Neill. View the ABA media release here.
