I didnt see it but apparently there was a good doco on SBS with footage of car hijackings and cut throats etc.
Seems its got the worst reputation in the world now.
I was in Mt Hagen in the 60,s and did in service training courses in P.M. and it wasnt that bad. Normal Highlander versus Pap crap but it sounds bad now.
I did 5 years in Pom recently, much media exaggeration, but there certainly are issues, by all accounts better than the 80.s.
Mind you i did drive around with two rotties and a boxer, windows down, had no dramas. House in middle of settlement (slum) no dramas

If you integrate your normally ok, if you alienate the locals your on your own.
