Our records show there was contact with Sandline regarding PNG between February and April 1997: 1.

On 18 March 1997 Mr. Bowen contacted FCO officials again to say that Mr. Spicer and another Sandline representative had been arrested in PNG. 4. The British High Commissioner in Port Moresby gave Mr. Spicer consular assistance. Mr. Spicer was released from custody on 22 March and was accommodated at the High Commissioner's Residence until his legal departure from PNG on 8 April 1997. 5. On his arrival in Brisbane on 8 April 1997 Mr. Spicer rang the High Commission in Port Moresby to express thanks for the consular assistance. 6.
