One of the two options for Bougainvilleans when they vote next year in an independence referendum is greater autonomy.
The referendum is the culmination of the 2001 Bougainville Peace Agreement following a ten year civil war.
At a meeting in Port Moresby last week, the leaders of Bougainville and Papua New Guinea agreed the question to be put to the Bougainvillean people: 'Do you agree for Bougainville to have: (1) Greater Autonomy (2) Independence'
University of Wollongong emeritus professor of politics, Ted Wolfers, has long been involved in Bougainville issues and was at the meeting.
Don Wiseman asked him what greater autonomy means.
