Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei:
I te hekenga o Hapani i te tau 1945, i whakahoutia te whakahaere a-iwi o Papua me New Guinea, ana i raro i te Ture Whakahaere Motuhake o Papua New Guinea (1945 <unk> 46), i whakakotahihia a Papua me New Guinea ki roto i te uniana whakahaere. Ko te Ture o Papua me New Guinea o te tau 1949 i whakakotahi, mo nga kaupapa whakahaere anake, te Rohe o Papua me te Rohe o New Guinea hei Rohe o Papua me New Guinea. I whakaaetia e te Ture te whakanoho i a New Guinea ki raro i te punaha whakawhirinaki o te ao me te whakamana i te uniana whakahaere o New Guinea me Papua i raro i te taitara o Te Rohe o Papua me New Guinea. I whakaritea hoki he Kaunihera Ture (i whakatuhia i te tau 1951), he whakahaere whakawa, he mahi a te iwi, me te punaha kawanatanga a rohe. I whakakapia e te Whare Huihuinga te Kaunihera Ture i te tau 1963, a ko te Whare Huihuinga tuatahi o Papua me New Guinea i whakatuwherahia i te 8 o Pipiri 1964.
