Mornings with John Mackenzie

John MacKenzie chats with Lui Garozzo, Managing Director of Total Food Network (based in Cairns, with operations in PNG), about riots and unrest on the streets of Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea.
Public servants, including police and military personnel, took to violence in the streets, even surrounding the residence of the Prime Minister. This was sparked by a payroll glitch that led to government staff being underpaid.
Mr. Garozzo alleged that his staff in PNG were forced to hunker down for safety as rioters smashed every available shop front they came across.
