] Date Posted: 00:48:41 12/12/04 Sun In reply to: Paddy (Scotland) 's message, "Approach to decolonisation..." on 20:58:35 12/11/04 Sat PNG was given independence on 16 September 1975, after Mozambique but before Angola. I rather suspect that Whitlam wanted it off his hands quickly so that he wouldn't be seen as the last of the colonial rulers. I quite agree that helping on invitation is not neo-colonialism: the problem is that some people get very squeamish about it. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
