by MICHAEL J. PASSINGAN In a recent event that highlighted the complexities of international diplomacy and governance, Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister, James Marape, faced a challenging situation during his appearance at the Lowy Institute in Sydney, Australia. The Lowy Institute, known for its role as an independent think tank focusing on international policy, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, provided a platform for a candid assessment of Marape's governance. Following his formal address, Marape engaged in a dialogue with Dr. Michael Fullilove AM, the Executive Director of the Institute. Dr. Fullilove, a respected figure in public and international policy, scrutinized Marape's past promises and statements, contrasting them with the current state of affairs in Papua New Guinea (PNG).

ReplyDeleteGod Bless PNG.

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.
