O'Neill a puppet for the Australian agenda
By SIMON TIPU
Recently there where a good number of posts regarding the systematic and systemic corruption being perpetrated by politicians, and people in positions of power. The lies, the deceits and betrayals that has become the norm in PNG.
So many of this vitriolic posts have being directed against the current Government headed by Peter O'Neill, his Ministers, other MPs in the Govt, heads of the bureaucracy, SOEs, and etc.
In 2012, when PNG last held its National Elections, many commentators said that the Elections was rigged and people who they didn't think would become MPs in the current Parliament somehow won a seat. Most MPs with their Parties in tow supported PO in a landslide win to become the PM of PNG whether he was accused of breaching the Constitution when he first grabbed power in August of 2011.
When Somare was PM, the Australians have always said that PNG was a failed state and they were prepared to intervene. Why was that? What had Somare done to receive veiled threats of military intervention by Australian of his legitimately elected Govt and an incursion against PNG Sovereignty?
The answer is, Somare is a true Nationalist and believed in PNG charting its own course and become firmly established as a power in the Pacific. Also the former Govt courted the Chinese like never before. Covertly this had brought the ire of Australian and its puppet master, the USA. These two allies have always thought the Pacific was their backyard until China came into the picture. That pressed panic buttons.
During the political impasse in 2011, Australia would've easily declared PNG to be a failed state and sent in intervention. However the National Elections were just around the corner so it decided intervention was not the way to go because it would unpopular and cause more unrest. Rightfully because most ordinary PNGeans are patriotic and would not want a colonial master ruling them again.
Therefore, when the elections was on, Australia send in logistical support and advisors that made sure PO and his supporters won the elections and firmly set him up in power. PO has always been an Aussie puppet. That's why you'd hardly hear any criticism from the Aussie Govt even when the decisions he make are controversial such as tampering with the Constitution. When it was Somare who did that there was loud criticism and to show their contempt of Somare's style of leadership, they even went as far as removing his shoes at Brisbane to belittle him.
Now another event comes into the picture. The espionage activities conducted by Australia on behalf of the USA and itself. Nowadays most communications are done electronically and PNG is a prime target because of its Look North Policy which as attracted Asian investment in droves particularly the Chinese. China has also began to play a more assertive role militarily in the Pacific which the USA and Australian do not like one bit. PNG is now becoming a cold war frontier for intelligence gathering and also since it is very resources rich the Australian and US would not want it to be under the Chinese sphere of influence.
Even though the current Govt has borrowed heavily from China and brought in Chinese investment, it will still bow down to the whims of the Aussies and US.
That brings us to my introduction about how our country is being run by PO. Many of PO's decisions are becoming unpopular has time passes by and he has been implicated in corrupt dealings and so forth. Did the Australian Govt criticized him? Hardly not because he is their lackey. He was put into power by them for their National Interests. It was never about us the ordinary PNGeans. We are just a pawn in a game of International Political intrigue.
Finally Sharpies, bear in mind that our conversations through the phone or internet have been tapped by Australia and USA. Any perceived threats against their puppet regime will be quelled instantly and those suspected of inciting such will be tried of treason. The AFP who happen to fly into the country last week, their covert role will be to monitor dissent against PO's Govt.
