Sumario:When Papua New Guinea's Constitutional Review Comission first mooted possible legislation against press freedom towards the end of 1995, the Post Courier was among the news media that greeted the news with more than a modicum of pessimism.

Fortunately, the news media organisations in a determined show of unity moved to do their best to head off such a scenario.
