John Price

John Price
The last I saw of him was on TV in 1989 after he and number of other expats had been severly bashed up by the PNG Defence Force on the island of Bougainville during the Crisis. Many of us were worried that we could suffer the same consequences, being accused of sympathising with the Bougainvillian militants. He was returning to Brisbane but he may even be back on Bougainville.
Ian Wilson was working as a cleaner/wardsman??at Royal North Shore Hospital. I met him by accident there a number of years ago when visiting a PNG student from Lae Uni Tech who had spinal injuries. Ian also used to go and visit him when ever he had a chance.
