Civil Registry and Identification Act of 1963

377 Colonial Laws in PNG

Chairman of the Constitutional Law Reform Commission (CLRC). Dr. Eric Kwa, said they have identified them and will be reviewing all colonial laws.

The Civil Registry and Identification Act of 1963 is one of them to be reviewed and now the regional consultation taking place.

Dr. Kwa said like many other the Civil Registry and Identification Act of 1963 and the other 376 are colonial laws based on the context of Australia and do not reflect our own society.

The reviews aim to contextualize them to suit PNG.
