The ABG actually had the option to accept the RTG application after the Wardens Hearing. I dont understand why RTG had to go to the extent to issue a statement that the moratorium was illegal since there was still a pending application.

I think it disrespectful.

Feel free to theorize why ABG chose to declare a moratorium over Panguna instead of recognising RTG’s application.

And why the efforts to get ABG to accept the RTG application officially is getting nowhere to date

It may happen next week, or anytime soon. I wouldn't hold my breathe though
