by JUSTIN PARKER In recent discussions surrounding the establishment of a gold refinery in Papua New Guinea (PNG), concerns have been raised regarding various aspects of the proposed project. Spearheaded by foreign investors, the initiative has sparked debates over ownership, exclusivity, tax concessions, underwriting, management rights, control over currency, legal protections, and historical failures. These concerns, if unaddressed, could potentially undermine the interests of PNG and its people, particularly the hardworking alluvial miners who form the backbone of the nation's mining sector.

ReplyDeleteYou want to be a rich man, piss off from parliament and go run your businesses outside because money is the only thing in life to whoever you are. Stop stuffing up the laws of the land which is beyond your comprehension. The people are tired of you guys messing about, always remember that the people put you there to serve them so you are also public servants.
O'Neill is not a leader. He is lost and confused.
