A reconciliation leader says it's vital that Bougainvilleans be united as they enter the post-referendum period.
Polling is winding down in the non-binding independence referendum in Papua New Guinea's autonomous region of Bougainville.

An Arawa-based reconciliation leader, Theresa Jaintong, spoke to Johnny Blades about the "unknown" factor of the upcoming period following the referendum.
