Affectionately known as โ€œThe Last Man Standingโ€, the 85 year old passed away after a long illness leaving behind his wife, Lady Stella, their four children, Vanessa, Byron, Mark and Toea, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

The family thanked those who stood by him, shared his legacy throughout his political life from pre-independence to the time of his passing.

He was described as a โ€œpolitical icon transcending generations and his legacy will remain forever in the pages of the countryโ€™s history books and more so in the hearts of so many.โ€

Sir Julius who was of mixed parentage New Ireland and Chinese, enjoyed a political career spanning more than four decades serving as Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, in the Opposition and various ministerial portfolios and as Governor of New Ireland.

A State funeral is being worked on, with a weeklong wake or haus krai being held in Port Moresby beginning tonight.

AED Update

AED update post for all those that attended the 2024 Christmas Party on the 1st of December.

Elsie and her daughter Amy had the privilege of delivering on behalf of the ENB QLD Community a new defibrillator to staff at Vunapope Hospital!

Kate, the dedicated paramedic working for St Johnโ€™s reached out to our group in November about the need for an AED at Vunapope Hospital ED. We dedicated funds raised from our Xmas gathering to this immediately – and this morning were able to deliver this gift for Christmas.

Kate demonstrated how to use the device, ensuring the team at Vunapope are equipped to provide life-saving care. This defibrillator is the only one currently on base, and we are grateful for the hard work and commitment of the hospital staff.

Boina Tuna, Thank you, Kate, and the entire team at Vunapope for your unwavering dedication to the health and safety of our people in ENBP! Merry Christmas! ๐ŸŽ„

Reusable Pads

Letโ€™s shatter the stigma of menstruation. We support menstrual equity, health, dignity and opportunity for all. We transform periods into pathways.

Thank you to St Joseph and St Anthony Parish, Bracken Ridge craft group for your commitment to sewing much needed reusable pads. Over 500 pads were delivered.

A great feedback from the students and teachers of OLSH Vunapope after introducing the pads two years ago. Biggest plus is never having to buy pads.

Thank you Mrs Kavanamur and the grade 11s for meeting with us after work parade.
