I move:

That this House:

(1)   notes that:

(a)   the Prime Minister visited Papua New Guinea (PNG) from 21 to 23 March 2014;

(b)   this trip was the longest and most extensive visit by an Australian Prime Minister in almost a quarter century;

(c)   Prime Minister Abbott and Prime Minister O’Neill signed a new economic co-operation treaty; and

(d)   PNG plays a vital role in the regional approach to asylum seekers and preventing deaths at sea; and

(2)   commends the Prime Minister for a successful visit which strengthened Australia’s relationship with PNG.
