Canberra Raiders five-eighth Terry Campese has been cleared to represent the Prime Minster's XIII in Papua New Guinea on Saturday, after his club and the ARL both opted against sanctioning him following his arrest at the weekend.
Campese's place in the annual fixture against the Kumuls had been in jeopardy after he was arrested outside Walsh's Hotel in Quean-beyan on Friday night.

The Raiders issued a statement yesterday that said Campese had apologised to both the police and the publican of Walsh's.
