Australian Broadcasting Commission, Papua New Guinea Branch, Territory News Bulletins

  • AU PMB MS 1320
  • Collection
  • 1957-1967

ABC PNG Branch, Territory radio news bulletins cover the years 1957, 1958, 1962, 1965, 1966 and 1967 of broadcasting from Port Moresby on radio 9PA. Established in 1944, the original radio station was officially opened by General Douglas MacArthur and was a medium-wave broadcasting service for the armed forces. At that time the station was staffed by Australian and American army personnel and controlled by the Australian Broadcasting Commision and the Post Master General's Department. The ABC took over the radio station from the miltary in 1946, beginning broadcasting on 1 July 1946 from Port Moresby.
Initially the broadcasts were primarily targeted at an expatriate audience. By the early 1960s access to low cost transitor radios by locals and an increase in programs broadcast in Police Motu, Pidgin and Kuanua (a language local to Rabaul) meant that the ABC radio service reached a wider audience. The ABC continued to broadcast across the Territory, opening 9RB Rabaul in 1962, until self government commenced on 1 December 1973. In 1974 Radio Australia established a service for Papaua New Guinea listeners run from Melbourne by Papuans that delivered programs in both English and Pidgin.
Geoffrey Luck (born in Warwick, Qld, 7 Oct 1931) began his time in the Territory as an ABC radio journalist and went on to become the news editor from 1962 to 1966. As part of the general support for PNG independence by Australian radio journalists in the Territory, Luck was responsible for training five local journalists, Boe Arua and Christian Rangatin in the first year, Ovia Toua and Charlie Ketsimur in the next year, and finally Mark Auhova. Ovia Toua subsequently became head of the PNG Broadcasting Corporation. Mr Luck also introduced an English news service for local school leavers.

74 files of transcripts of radio news bulletins. The bulletins report on all aspects of the Australian administration as well as reflecting the beginnings of the shift towards independence. This collection provides a rich reflection of daily life across a decade of Territory history. See Finding aids for details and appended selected subject index.
