- Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape has hailed his country's friendship with Australia in a historic speech to the Australian parliament.
It's the first address of its kind by a Pacific Island leader and comes as PNG and Australia build on a security deal signed last year.
"The amount of work Australia put into the administration of Papua New Guinea can never be ignored by Papua New Guineans,' Mr Marape said.
"History holds all of the details, but the greatest and most profound Australian rule impact of the Australian administration is the democracy you left with us.
"The imprint of Australia is second to none in Papua New Guinea."
Sometimes I become despondent when I think about the country of my birth… but not at this moment… I am filled with a feeling of pride and gratitude… Prime Minister Marape you spoke so beautifully and powerfully, thank you…
Where in PNG were you born Allan?
Impressive , moving , heartfelt speech , giving thanks to all Australia has done for his nation ...... I have never heard anything like it ; absolutely touching !
You said it better. 👏
Touching, Inspirational, humble speech. God bless PM Marape, PNG🇵🇬 & Australia🇦🇺 🙏
Well done, great speech. Love the moment when PMJM thanked the kiaps......they were truly angles
Except for the welcome to F@#$%$# country again and again and again and again......................................................
Tears rolled mate 😢
You are all more than welcome.
We need to do more and work more closely with PNG in every aspect of life and society. They helped our diggers in the Pacific Campaign of WW2 in a way that we can never fully repay. They were there for our country in our darkest time of need. We need to be there for them always.
Yes my late dad was one of the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels and I'm so so proud that he fought along with the Australians ❤

A humble and moving speech by our PM James Marape. 🇵🇬 ❤
A speech of gratitude to mother Australia, well articulated Hon PMJM
What a touching and inspirational speech. As another Pacific Islander, you warmed my heart. Thank you.
That speech moved me to tears. Well done JMPM
Watching with tears of Joy, a powerful emotional speech 😢😢😢 Thank you PM Hon James M. ❤❤
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard such a captivating speech.
Thank you PM James Marape for being a good ambassador for PNG 🇵🇬🇵🇬 You represented us so well. Wonderful speech indeed. God bless you and your leadership.
May GOD bless PNG and Australia until JESUS comes again... Amen.
Yo, Jesus isn’t real my friend.
God is a title, which one do you pray to. His only begotten sons name is Yahushua not Jesus Christ. Do you transliterate your name when you visit another country??
@@soniaplunkett9816 PNG is a Christian country and will always be a Christian country. We believe in one true God of the Bible. God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. So when we pray, we pray to God Almighty in the name of Jesus Christ, The Saviour (Yeshua Hamashiach). God's name is many but He is ONE God. He is Elohim, Adonai, Jehovah, I Am, etc. In fact the Jews never mentioned His name, they spelt God's name as Yud-Hey-Vav-Hey. Our God is the Creator of everything that is seen and unseen. Things in heaven and on earth, thrones, dominions, rules, authorities were created and exist through Him.
@@allen3273 Again God is a title. There are many lords and many gods. saying dear god or dear lord is like saying hey you. You have a name and are called by that name, what makes you think Our Heavenly Almighty Father YHWH is any different? You can't know anyone personally if you cant identify them by name or choose not to call them by name. Who are the group of people that will be told by Yahushua himself Go away I never knew you"?? We ALL need to make sure we are not one of these, myself included.
@@soniaplunkett9816 Yes I agree with you. God is a title. In fact as Christian, I don't even need to know the name of God to be connected to Him. All I need to know is the ESSENCE of God's Name. Like for instance using the five letter word Jesus or Yeshua or Yehushua as you mentioned doesn't mean anything to God. In fact Joshua is also called Yehushua which means Salvation or Saviour. The key here is how one relate to the name. The essence, the character, the very nature of that person, to take on the qualities of that person, to be like that person. This is what makes the difference. Anybody can pray and use the name of God in his or her own language (the beauty of different languages God gave us) and doesn't have to know the specific name(s)of God as long as that person knows who he is praying to, have a good relationship with God, having the qualities, personalilties and characteristics and striving to be LIKE God. Not to become but to be like God. Knowing the Essence of the name of God.
Humble Huli, your speech has carried the 8 million people on your shoulders, thankyou.
THANKYOU FOR A WANDERFULL SPEECH,YOU HAVE SAID IT ALL.MR. PM.
Salute you PMJM. Well spoken.....A great speech covering historical and portraying the future direction and prosperity of PNG and Australia. May God bless PNG and Australia.
The great man Kondom Aguando onced addressing the white folks in Canberra Australia and that's what he says
"Today I come to you and speak to you in my language (Pidgin) and you laugh at me, one day my son will come to you and speak to you in your language (English) and you will sit and listen".
Respect PMJM, you won my vote.
powerful statement by the old chief
Truly and fittingly.. prophesy fulfilled..
😢💯🇵🇬❤️
Couldn't agree more. The words of a wise great man has passed. God bless you Australia and PNG.
Prophesy of a visionary leader and a great man has fulfilled.

We are not enemies to Indonesia, we have a strong and vibrant cordial bilateral relationship with Indonesia. Be mindful of what you post, the entire world is watching.
Well-prepared speech by my good Prime Minister(James Marape). May our Good Lord Bless Papua New Guinea and Australia.
Thankyou PM Marape you have said it well❤❤❤
PNG independence act of 1975.
The Christian God, The Achaeopteryx, and the study of Eternal Life.
I will visit the region And find ways to follow its politics.
Now this is the exact type of introduction and speech the international community would like to hear.
What the shit does a prehistoric bird dinosaur have to do with the Papuan independence act?
Must have been listening to joe Rogan
FACT🔥A strong economically empowered PNG mean a more stronger and safer Australia and pacific ❤AMEN💯🙏
Outstanding speech ❤
What a touching speech!
Thank you James Marape, my Prime Minister, for acknowledged the Australian Kiaps and Teachers. It brought tears into my eyes because I grew up with them as a policeman son on the frontline of developing PNG to get the country ready for independance. My Prime Minister thank you for your speech in the Australian Parliament. ❤
Our PM, genuinely conveys our eternal gratitude. ❤
Great Speech PM-Well done
PNG was not a colony of Australia but a Trust Territory under it's Administration. Nevertheless great speech PMJM. Stap wantem yu.🎉
Thank you, Australia 🇦🇺🙏
Australia is our big brother,we stood on their shoulder for independentce🎉❤❤
One of the humble truthful speech i known in my 35 year lifetime. Gid bless PM and the people of PNG
Historic Indeed. Thank you Australia. Lovely Speech
Thank you PMJM for representing our country in appreciating the Australian Government. It is a very moving speech that strengthens our relationship with Australians and encourages the rest of your fellow Papua New Guineans to rise up. May God bless Papua New Guinea and Australia 🇵🇬🇦🇺
Heart moving speech PM. Only point missed is PNG Alluvial Gold gold in bulolo and wau built the australian economy to where it is now. They need to know this deep down. They did not progres this far on entirely on their own.
That was 60 to 70 years ago, before Independence. Goodness There is still a lot of alluvial gold there. If you from there, you can work hard to become rich too.
Exactly, the price of Gold has appreciated in the last 60-70 years. Thats the value of PNG gold that contributed to build the foundations of the Aus economy. In the immediate term those abandoned dredge liners needs to be cleaned out-its becoming and enviromental concern up there.
Very emotional speech. God bless PNG Australia thousands of years into the future.
Whhat a marvellous, humble and beautiful speech . Thak you big Boss . God bless you and New Guinea.
Cheers mate I am with you "Aussie Aussie Aussie, "Oi Oi Oi"
out of all the poor leadership he has delivered in the pay years/months and days. He did us justice with this speech, thank you. I'm teary listening to this.
Thank you Marape on behalf of the rest of us in PNG
Thank you Australia, we thank God we didn't shed blood to gain political independence.

Well spoken Prime Minister.
Wonderful and great speech PM JM.
I was never a fan of PM James Marape but today I realise I judged too early. The best speech of humility and gratefulness. Thank you to those Australians who served our grandparents, parents and our generation.
Calling on all PNGeans to play your part in helping Marape bring economic independence to PNG. Not for us but for those who will come after us.
A beautiful speech sir, humble and gracious. All the very best to you and your people for everything you strive for.

A befitting speech. We PNGeans can only say thank you. And we are sincere about it

what a speech. Thank you PM
O what great moving speech. Thank you Prime Minister JM.
Congratulations to Papua New Guinea for the first historic honor and privilege given by Australia for our PMJM to represent the nation to speak in the Australia's House of Representatives. Most importantly, a prophecy by one of our indigenous senior statesman in the 1960s , Honorable Kondum Aungundo being fulfilled..
As a Papua New Guinean, I understand the concerns surrounding Australian taxpayer funds being directed to our country. However, it's crucial to consider the broader implications of this support. It's not merely about providing financial assistance; it's also about cultivating strong partnerships and bolstering regional stability through the dissemination of influence and the provision of aid to neighboring nations in need. While many Australian citizens may prioritize redirecting their taxpayer funds internally, we must acknowledge the potential ramifications. If Australia withdraws its support, there's a risk of China emerging as a prominent player in the Pacific, which could introduce security challenges. While collaboration with China could offer opportunities, we tend to prioritize our traditional partners (family) when it comes to security matters. Ultimately, stability and peace serve as the foundation for prosperity. Therefore, it's crucial for AusAid to continue if Australia wishes to maintain its position as a key player in Oceania. ✌
Spitting facts there bro.
Whatever we say and see about Australia, We are still in the heart of Australia..Never ever will they leave us..Australia we love you.
Very humbled and well presented speech Hon. PM
Great speech my PM❤......And yes Indeed the Prophecy of Kondom Agaudo has been fulfilled........"Today you laugh at me because I cannot speak your language but tommorow my son will speak to you in your language and you will 👉 CERTAINLY LISTEN
