Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister Peter O'Neill says controversial land leases abused by the timber industry will be canceled.
He made the comments in a messsage sent to the Australian Association for Pacific Studies taking place in Sydney.
It is the clearest sign yet that millions of hectares of land, leased without permission of landowers will be returned.
