What we're about
The NBC National Press Club has been created as a forum for the issue of major statements and for initiating change. Whether the issue of the day is political, economic, corporate, diplomatic, military or societal, the NBC National Press Club's goal is to play a significant role in PNG Society.
The NBC National Press Club seeks to be inclusive - providing an opportunity to reach influencers and decision makers of Papua New Guinea; irrespective of political orientation, political advisors, Government Heads of Departments, diplomatic community, academia, legal, health and other professions, journalists and the many contributors in PNG society, many of whom are leaders in their own communities.
The new initiative includes the broadcast, across radio and TV platforms throughout Papua New Guinea of the lunchtime NBC National Press Club Addresses which will be held with featured speakers on scheduled dates throughout the year.
Speakers such as political leaders, ministers, scientists, entrepreneurs, thought leaders and forums provoke thought and inspire. The NBC National Press Club is pleased that its project partner, Lamana Hotel, will provide the venue for the event.
Lamana Hotel will provide diners with a premium contemporary cuisine experience, with the menu changing seasonally and the chef gaining inspiration from available local produce.

About Us
Whether the issue of the day is political, economic, corporate, diplomatic, military or societal, the NBC National Press Club seeks to play a significant role in PNG Society. The NBC National Press Club of Australia has been established as a response by journalists, based in PNG
The goal is the development of a genuine national forum for discussion of the issues of the day by the personalities who help shape them with a long term vision to develop a reputation nationally and internationally as PNG’s leading forum for the discussion of issues and debate on public policy in a lively, informative and entertaining format.
​
Our Vision
The NBC National Press Club will build on the success of the scheduled press lunches to be held over the course of the 2017 year.
The initiative has been arranged in conjunction with the Media Council of PNG with the support of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs in conjunction with the Media Development Initiative and the Government of PNG.
The vision is that in the years to come the NBC National Press Club will host Addresses from a vast array of visiting international figures, Heads of State, Religious leaders, innovators and of course our political leaders including each Prime Minster/Opposition leader. The vision is that this initiative is the start of a fine tradition for Papua New Guinea that seeks to support real positive change and for the voices of the people, delivered by the finest journalists in the land, to be heard.
