Opposition Shadow Fisheries Minister, Sam Basil, issued a statement calling on the Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare to state his position on the dumping of the tailings from the Ramu project into Basamuk Bay. Meanwhile, the Catholic Bishops of Papua New Guinea issued a separate statement saying they joined the increasing number of other groups and individuals calling for a review of the environmental issues involving the Ramu Nickel Project.
