Description

Papua New Guinea created two new provinces - Jiwaka and Hela, effective 17th of May 2012.
Valentin Poposki, 20 May 2012

Yesterday evening (Melbourne, Aust. time) S.B.S. TV's "World News Australia" reported the raising of the new P.N.G. Provincial Flag for Hela (formerly part of Southern Highlands Province), as part of its coverage of the current national elections. Video of this report can be viewed at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_qKBfRpLOg. Also, an online "PNG Courier Post" newspaper photograph of the other new P.N.G. Provincial Flag for Jiwaka (formerly part of Western Highlands Province) can be viewed at http://www.postcourier.com.pg/20120518/frhome.htm.

An article about these two new Papua New Guinea Provincial Flags, and background information, will be appearing in the near future in Flags Australia's journal "Crux Australis" later this year.

I have selected the frames from the movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_qKBfRpLOg and reconstructed from this source the new flag of Hela Province.

Variant of the Flag

A variant of the flag was received as a gift from a local office in Boroko /Port Moresby (probably with the help of the Belgian Honorary Consul) sent in November 2014 and manufactured in China.
