Papua Act 1905
The Papua Act 1905 was a law of the Australian Parliament that accepted British New Guinea from Britain and made it the Territory of Papua, administered by Australia. It came into force in 1906, with Port Moresby as capital, and governed the territory until it was joined administratively with the Territory of New Guinea after the Second World War.
