We have a situation in northern Australia at the moment, where Papuan traders are comming ashore on Torres Straight islands to trade, bringing with them people infectected with a new strain of TB. ATM, these people are being treated by Australian doctors illegally in order to try and prevent further spread of the disease into the rest of Australia. Considering one Torres Straight island is only 3km from Papua, it's difficult to stop the traditional traders from visiting, especially as until about 20 years ago, some parts of Papua were under Australian authority.
