Papua New Guinea's Attorney General apologizes for racial abuse over PMIZ

Papua New Guinea's Attorney General, Arnold Amet, has published an unreserved apology for his racial attack on MP Ken Fairweather at last week's Pacific Marine Industrial Zone forum.

The attack, which was captured on video and published on the ACT NOW! blog, has drawn widespread criticism. The Attorney General has not yet, however, given any indication he is reconsidering his support for the government's Pacific Marine Industrial Zone, which provoked his attack on Mr Fairweather who is supporting local people's opposition to the project.
