Sir Brian Bell, celebrating a toast with Sir Albert Maori Kiki (then Deputy PM) after the successful sworning in of first 52 Naturalised PNG citizens of mainly Australian descent on 1st September 1975.

Australia did not then recognized dual citizenship, so anyone choosing to become a Papua New Guinean lost their Australian passports. Many Australians left at that time. But others, looked upon PNG as their home, even if it means losing their Australian birthright. Late Sir Brian and wife Jean Bell were among them.

Jean died in 1992 while Sir Brian lived on until 25th July 2010. Both were buried side by side at the 9 Mile Cemetery outside Port Moresby (Sinclair, J. 2010. MR B: The Life and Times of Sir Brian Bell).

THERE IS NO LAW ALLOWING THE PROMOTION OF LESBIAN GAY Bi-SEXUAL TRANSGENDER QUEER (LGBTQ) IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA

June 08, 2023

THERE IS NO LAW THAT PROMOTES OR LEGITIMISE THE PROMOTION OF LESBIAN GAY Bi-SEXUAL TRANSGENDER QUEER (LGBTQ) IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA Loop PNG Prime Minister James Marape has confirmed that there is no bill before Parliament to legitimise LGBTQ rights. He stressed that the Papua New Guinean Parliament is not likely to pass any legislation on this any time soon. The Prime Minister said the existing laws of the country are sufficient to protect the rights of all PNG citizens and residents including those in the LGBTQ (Lesbian Gay Bi-Sexual Transgender Queer) community. “There is no bill with our government to promote gays and lesbians in the country. Neither will there be any promotion of gays and lesbians under my watch. People’s sexual preferences are within their individual rights of choice but our government will not be promoting this matter or be seen to be legitimizing gay or lesbian rights in PNG.
