We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.

In short:

The three bosses of Papua New Guinea's ICAC have accused each other of criminal activity, including suspected corruption and abuse of power.

A warrant has been issued for the Australian commissioner's arrest, while he has accused his two deputies of misconduct and referred them to police.

Staff say the feud between the three commissioners has left the organisation "completely dysfunctional" and on the edge of collapse.

Several sources have told the ABC almost all the agency's expatriate staff, including multiple Australians, are likely to resign, stripping the organisation of expertise needed to fight corruption.

They have described an environment of "chaos".

One staff member, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the situation was "disgraceful" and the organisation had become "completely dysfunctional".
