Is Australia doing enough to respond to Papua New Guinea's catastrophic landslide?

The recent landslide in Papua New Guinea's Enga Province has resulted in a significant loss of life, with the death toll surpassing 2,000 according to the government. This event is one of the most catastrophic in the nation's history, causing not only loss of life but also devastating impacts on livelihoods, families, and poverty levels. Papua New Guinea has a history of natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and tsunamis, due to its tumultuous geology. The country's mining industry, while providing economic benefits, has also brought unintended negative consequences. The current challenge in responding to the landslide is the difficulty of transporting necessary equipment and supplies to the affected area. Australia, as Papua New Guinea's closest neighbor, has a shared history and a responsibility to provide assistance in times of crisis. [Extracted from the article]
