Michael Somare discusses the 1972 election, the Pangu Party's policy of self government and forming a coalition with Julius Chan and the People's Progress Party. He refers to his recommendation of John Guise for Governor General. He recalls that because he and Brere Awol were both elected unopposed they were able to move around the country and assist other campaigns for the Pangu Party.
Michael Somare reflects on issues during the second House of Assembly including New Britain, Matanguan links, Oscar Tammur, the Pangu Party, John Kaputin and the formation of the Matanguan Party and the meaning of its name, and the land problems developing between the inland Tolais and the coastal Tolais.
