#AUSTRALIA: Norfolk Islanders Seek Restoration Of Self-Government

[world politics news]


Known internationally as one of the islands settled by the passengers of the Bounty, Norfolk Island has been a self-governing territory since the 1850s, and affiliated with Australia since the 1910s. But it lost its sovereignty in the recent financial crisis, and is set to lose all self-government next month. Islanders are seeking to restore its Legislative Assembly to power and become self-governing once again.
