PNG Department of Prime Minister and NEC, "Parliament Passes Amendment to the Constitution to Declare PNG's Christian Identity" (13 March 2025)

Official Papua New Guinea government press release confirming Parliament's 12 March 2025 passage, 80 votes to 4, of a constitutional amendment declaring Papua New Guinea's Christian identity, and stating that section 45's guarantee of freedom of conscience, thought and religion remains intact.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
1
The government's own primary record of the vote, date and its own statement that section 45 remains intact; reliable for those plain facts, though it is the enacting government's own characterisation of its amendment's effect rather than an independent legal assessment.
Notes
A primary official statement rather than independent journalism or scholarship: trustworthy for the objective record (the date, the 80 to 4 vote, the amendment's wording) and used here for exactly that; its assurance that section 45 is unaffected is the enacting government's own reading, noted as such rather than as a neutral legal finding.
