Prime Minister Uses Soothing Words To Convince Students To Give Up


Analysis By Denny Nataki


Yesterday the Prime Minister carefully chose his words to construct a convincing lie.

He did not demand students to go back to class.

He asked him nicely to go back to class.
He cannot demand because he knows that if he makes a wrong move, he loses anyway, even in a bigger way than if he capitulates to student demands.  

The Prime Minister continued in normal fashion, telling one lie after another.  

THE LIE:  “his government since 2011 had committed to investing in education for the children of the nation.”
THE TRUTH:  Peter O’Neill’s free education policy has resulted in more children who are stuffed into classrooms with no resources and receive a worse education than the students in years before.   They will leave school mostly illiterate and half educated in return for no tuition charged.  

THE LIE:  “the government has invested billions of kina into education”
THE TRUTH:   Much of this money disappeared into personal pockets and he knows it.   It never got to the schools or if it did, very little was built out of a lot of money.

THE LIE:  “We are investing in improving the quality of education at all levels of our education”.
THE TRUTH:  All college and university students only need to look around them and see that this statement is false.  

The Prime Minister noted that the government “invested heavily” in student accommodation in UPONG and more was to come.  The investment was not heavy, the construction work was shoddy, and the reason for the accommodation was definitely not for the students.   There is no more to come because the government is broke, not just for this year, but for years to come.  

The only thing the Prime Minister said in his statement that was true was that the students were the few privileged, who have the intellectual capacity and are leaders of tomorrow.

That is exactly why the students are boycotting.  They have thought things through and they can see with their own eyes that this Prime Minister is leading our country off the edge of a cliff.  

The Prime Minister told the students not to allow others to influence them, obviously not realizing that the whole purpose of his speech was to influence the students!

Also the Prime Minister seems to misunderstand the purpose of the boycott.  It is not to stop money being spent on children’s education.   The purpose is for him to step down so that his case can be heard.  

Probably the reason why the Prime Minister kept mentioning education of children is that he wants parents to start putting pressure on students to stop the boycott and go back to class.

The Prime Minister did end with a truthful statement:  

“When I was a student at the UPNG. I was involved in student protests and strike because people told us that we students were the protector of Rule of Law and representative of the silent majority.”

Those people were right.

The Prime Minister said that students should respect his and others rights to have their issues heard in court.  

That is exactly what the students are kickstarting.    The Prime Minister does not have the right to tangle up and paralyse the court system so that prosecutions go on for 10 years and more as happened for NPF.  

The students will not threaten the Prime Minister’s right to have his case heard.  They will accelerate it by removing the endless red tape of appeals and finding requests for teeny tiny details of the law, all designed to slow the process down.

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

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

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.

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

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
