HOW MANY WARNINGS CAME OUT THROUGH PNGBLOGS TO TRY AND AVOID THIS CATASTROPHE?


by JACK G WAUGLE

Peter O'Neill and his out of control government have been running what has been a functional dictatorship.  There is no opposition and nearly all the MPs we elected proved to be docile puppets who spoke not a word of protest or concern, so focused were they on getting their DSIP and other development monies from the PM which in turn, was what they reckoned was their key to getting re-elected.  Hardly ever did nationalism come first or concern for PNG.  There were warnings after warnings about the out of control, loan fuelled infrastructure building for the Pacific games especially, a gigantic waste of money that all has to be paid back with interest.  Made all the more wasteful because of the built in kickbacks to Tom, Dick, Harry, and oftentimes the Chinese themselves. 

So many people on the social media just didn't get it.  Maybe the warnings of pending doom all looked like a dreamland, but again and again the evidence was presented:  a blow-out budget that has left the government with no money to properly fund expenses for the rest of 2015, the collapsing kina.  The graphs were all there, the numbers were presented, yet still people did not rise up like they would have in any country that had an educated population.   This reality is painful, made even more painful by the fact that the social media consists of the educated elite of our nation.  Supposedly there are no more smarter or more educated people than those who would have access to the internet.  Yet, never was their a reaction to the obvious financial statistics of doom like there would have been overseas.  The most reaction were thumbs up.  Peter O'Neill learnt long ago that thumbs up on Facebook is an empty gesture that proved no threat to him at all.

We had our chance, PNG, to straighten out a problem that was certainly going to affect each and every one of us in a negative way.   We blew it.  We did nothing.  We didn't stand up against the most corrupt government in PNG history.   Now the story is going international and you can rest assured that only the worst of the scumbag foreign investors will want to put any money into PNG once they see the graphs themselves.  In this morning's Sydney Morning Herald newspaper it is crystal clear what has been warned again and again in PNGBLOGS over the past year.  PNG is headed for a severe financial crisis even worse than what occurred during the incompetent Bill Skate regime, when the kina dropped from 1 kina being worth 90 cents to the US dollar  down to 25 cents. 

We all need to do some soul searching to figure out why we as a people create our own disasters by never protesting or speaking up when we see the disaster creators amongst us do their thing.   Why do we never protest in effective ways?  Why does the most educated segment of our population do nothing apart from giving a thumbs up on a Facebook posting?

Read todays news article and copy and paste it because it probably won't be available for non-subscribers for very long:   http://www.smh.com.au/world/papua-new-guinea-hurt-by-commodities-drop-on-brink-of-greekstyle-crisis-20150805-gis0dr.html

Always remember that PNG BLOGS doesn't just post submissions without serious consideration of whether or not they're true.  That's not to say PNG BLOGS gets it right all the time, but the articles tend to reveal the realities of PNG far better than any of our mainstream PNG media. 

Also realise that if you want to wait for evidence, evidence, and more evidence before you make a decision on what's really going on, you'll wait forever.  There comes a point where logic and deduction have to activate themselves inside our brains.   We have to figure out how to put 2+2 together without waiting, waiting, and waiting until the number "4" is spoonfed to us in front of our noses. 

With all that in mind please be clear about the following:   Peter O'Neill is what people say he is-the King of Deception, Father of Lies.  He is more deeply evil than any Prime Minister we have had in the history of our nation.   He is determined to hang onto power and become more than filthy rich in the process.  And he may well succeed so long as the educated elite of PNG does nothing more than click the thumbs up icon on Facebook pages.  

How much longer will we, the educated elite of PNG, let Peter O'Neill continue to hold the power in this nation and not only screw us over now, but in the process screw over future generations as well? 

Yes, God will act in the end, after Peter O'Neill is planted deep in the ground.  But if we wait for God to act, we will have created for ourselves more of a hell on earth than a heaven.    So please:  no more statements against Peter O'Neill that God will pass final judgment.   It is time the judgments against Peter O'Neill start coming before he has left the earth.  For the sake of our children.

HIGHLANDS FRAUD F*CKS RUNNING GOVERNMENT AGENCY,,,

A Fraudster and unqualified person has been shortlisted for NEC submission for the position of CEPA Managing Director. The candidate in question is Jude Tukulyia. His academic credentials are subject to scrutiny. Further investigation is required to verify the authenticity and legitimacy of his qualifications, particularly the reported diploma in accounting, Bachelor of Laws, MBA from Divine Word and UPNG respectively. It is very suspicious and unprofessional  when the Minister for Environment Conservation and Climate Change, Hon Simo Kilepa, wrote to UPNG Vice Chancellor asking to confirm Jude’s questioned education qualifications. This very due diligence work is the core responsibility of the Public Service Commission and Department of Personnel Management. What authority does the portfolio minister have to write to the Universities? Dumbfounding indeed if one asks. Ulterior motives written all over the letter. This amounts to  Questionable Academic Qualifications of Mr Tukulyia.

MARAPE & PAITA ABOUT TO SIGN AWAY PNG GOLD

Image
By: Andrew Arthur Prime Minister Hon. James Marape and his planning minister Reinbo Paita are the parties behind the theft of all Papua New Guinea’s gold for the next 100 years! They have given approval for the STATE of Papua New Guinea to sign away all gold rights to an Australian paper company in Refinery Holdings PTE LTD. First, they have done the deal with a paper company even before there is a LAW that says they have the right to do the deal. We see how the real manipulation works out. Marape and Paita now need to get the law passed by Parliament. The law is before the Parliament to set up Papua New Guinea’s first National Gold Corporation. The National Gold Corporation Bill first surfaced in 2012 but successive Government of Sir Michael Somare and Hon. Peter O’Neill, in their wisdom, had refused to pass this Bill as there have been some sinister motives and constitutional issues associated with the Bill. The new bill will allow Refinery Holdings LTD PTE to own 70% of the National

AUGUSTINE MANO PNG'S PREMIER CORPORATE CROOK

Image
by  MICHAEL J. PASSINGAN In a significant setback for Mineral Resources Development Corporation (MRDC), the Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea has dismissed the company's appeal to stop criminal investigations into its dealings with landowner funds held in the Pacific Balance Fund (PBF). The court ruled that MRDC's appeal was an "abuse of process" and ordered the company to pay costs of the proceedings. MRDC, a unit holder in PBF, had taken legal action against the National Court's decision to dismiss its case, arguing that the court had no jurisdiction to hear the matter. However, the Supreme Court disagreed and held that MRDC's appeal was nothing more than an attempt to interfere with the police's criminal investigative process. The court found that MRDC had no authority to conducted its own investigation into the activities of the Melanesian Trustee Services Limited (MTSL), the fund manager of PBF, and that its actions were in violation of the Trust Deed

PNG, VERY RICH YET STILL A VERY VERY POOR COUNTRY

Image
by GARY MONDULAME Papua New Guinea (PNG), a nation blessed with abundant natural resources, continues to grapple with economic challenges that belie its potential wealth. The nation's economic narrative is a paradox—rich in resources yet burdened by poverty. The explanation for this paradox lies not only in economic mismanagement but also in deep-seated corruption that has permeated the political landscape since independence in 1975. Following its independence from Australia, PNG was entrusted to leaders who lacked a vision for a holistic national development. This absence of foresight is evident from the lack of long-term development plans that could have distributed the country’s wealth fairly across all regions and communities. Successive governments failed to establish foundational strategies such as building satellite townships or creating robust rural housing schemes. Instead, they resorted to short-term, reactive measures that did not foster sustainable growth. The nascent l

James Marape's Missteps Openly Exposed at Australian Forum

Image
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). The discussion took a critical turn as Dr. Fullilove revisited Marape's 2019 speech at the same venue, where Marape had outlined his vision for PNG in a speech titled “A New Boo

BLIND LEADING THE BLIND, WHY THE PNG ECONOMY STILL SUCKS

Image
Elizabeth Genia, Acting Governor Bank of PNG (BPNG) by MICHAEL JOSEPH PASSINGAN The economy of Papua New Guinea (PNG) is at a crucial juncture. Despite some signs of recovery, the country faces several structural challenges that continue to impede its economic progress. The March 2024 Monetary Policy Statement from the Bank of Papua New Guinea sheds light on these issues, providing a comprehensive overview of the economic landscape and the policy responses being implemented to navigate through these turbulent times. In 2023, PNG's economy grew by a modest 1.4%, a significant slowdown from the 5.2% growth witnessed in 2022. This tepid growth is largely attributed to delays in major projects and ongoing economic issues that have not been fully resolved. The anticipated growth for 2024 is around 3.0%, buoyed by the resumption of production at the Porgera gold mine. While this marks an improvement, it remains subdued compared to the potential of this resource-rich nation. One of the mo

A Call for Local Ownership and Fairness

Image
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. At the heart of the issue lies the question of ownership. The proposed ownership structure, favoring foreign investors with a substantial 70% stake, raises eyebrows, especially considering PNG's past experiences with failed ventures like seabed mining. Instead of ceding majority control to foreign entities, many argue that PNG should assert full ownership over the refinery. With the coun
