Calls for Kokoda track code of conduct - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's special envoy on the Kokoda track is calling on tour operators to introduce a code of conduct to preserve the historic World War II path and lessen the impact on locals living alongside it.

Next year up to 7,000 international trekkers will take on the excruciating ups and the daunting downs of the 96-kilometre Kokoda track.

At a meeting with trek operators today, Australia's special envoy on Kokoda Sandy Hollway pushed for the introduction of a code of conduct.

"Minimum standards for the trekkers, minimum standards for the treatment of local people along the track and respect for them the villages along the track and minimum standards to be adopted by the trek operators themselves," she said.

Ms Hollway is in PNG to kick start the Australian Government's Kokoda Development Program, which was introduced to preserve the track and improve the lives of those living along it.

What Rudd does not say is what these codes of conducts should focus on or what issues have prompted this call.

...and that is typical of our PM - lots of fluff and no substance!
