A lot of us are regretting the outcomem of the recent elections. Who is to be blame anyway? Of course yumi yet. What are shame for this country. However, the politicians must also acknowledge the fact that people have voted them into parliament for a change, and not to fall back into past bad practises or put it this way; CORRUPTION AT ITS BEST. These pollies are not small kids for us to relentlessly remind them of their past wrong doings and correct them. Hey, they know a plus from a minus.

These leaders are taking advantage of the illiterate & ignorant majority in the rural areas. They have changed our society where our people see this 5 yearly event as time for feasting & opportunity to make a few bucks, something many don't have the luxury in their daily lives. I gues those we have just elected now will have their ways for the next 5 years while we sit back blame ourselves. Please let us find some practical solutions to as you state above "change our mindset" and might I add "change the mindset of our leaders".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500433815145563157.post-15462263255937110492012-08-05T08:38:21.336+10:002012-08-05T08:38:21.336+10:00Good discussions.

The asian race is densely populated on this planet thus the survival of the fittest mentality has firmly integrated itself into their culture in the past century enabling them to easily compete in any environment - especially one like PNG where many of us just can not get up and start a trade stoa but rather voice our pessimism to the wantok who at least tries to. When are we going to stop pointing fingers and enter the competition to run the asians out of business? <br /><br />On the part of leaders with dent reputations entering parliment, I can only blame we the voters for thinking on a regional platform rather than on a national one. We had so many parties in this election with some good policies primarily to improve and sustain our living standards. Had we the people of PNG voted for a particular party with credible candidates on a national platform to form the government, we would begin to see the end of corruption and the puppert masters brought to justice. Until we alter our mindset to think nationally and not regionally will we see the full potential of all systems of government i.e. a very effective service delivery system. We can begin right now by reflecting back to the time when ryan pini won a medal in the melbourne commonwealth games and the overwhelming effect it had on us. That was truely a time we were proud to be Papua New Guineans. Not Sepiks, Not Morobeans, Not Manusians, Not Milne Bayans, but proud Papua New Guineans. <br /><br />Nationally we stand. Regionally we fall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500433815145563157.post-19873001199882831722012-08-04T23:29:10.944+10:002012-08-04T23:29:10.944+10:00the problem is not with our leaders, australians, ...the problem is not with our leaders, australians, chinese traders/triads or interpol fugitives.<br /><br />the problem is within. it's ourselves.<br /><br />the wantok and bigman culture is killing our country.<br /><br />because of wantok culture, we repeatedly choose our wantoks as leaders.<br />Regardless of how bad they are for the country.<br /><br />because of bigman culture, we are not capable of independent thinking.<br />but are easily misled by conman posing as leaders.<br /><br />nothing has changed because we have not changed how we think, and how we vote.<br /><br /><br />we condemn that the NA scums and crooks are back in parliment.<br />but we were the ones who voted for them.<br /><br />in pomio, paul tiensten was reelected, despite selling off the land of the people for 99 years (SABL)<br /><br />in west sepik, grand thief somare was relected, despite treating the country like his own personal piggybank.<br /><br />peter oneil was reelected with a landslide, despite betraying the workers of this country through the NPF scandal.<br /><br />ano palo was reelected, despite bringing in a fugitive to monopolize our rice, and allowing asians a free pass.<br /><br /><br />other examples:<br /><br />(1)<br />peter oneil and michael somare used the police/army/judges to fight for them.<br />police fought their fellow brothers, army attacked their own comrades. chief justice was arrested.<br />for what? for peter and michael to kiss and make up after the election? making us all like fools?<br /><br />(2) <br />michael malabag lead a huge public protest, for timely election. ranting and railing against peter oneil?<br />for what? for malabag to kiss and grovel at peter's feet after elections?<br /><br />(3)<br />belden claiming to be Jesus christ of PNG<br />but belden was PNG judas in charge of issuing logging permits to SABL thieves?<br />that belden managed to accumulate massive wealth in less than 10 years as a forest minister?<br /><br />(4)<br />chinese traders are setting up shops all over the place. like mushrooms after the rain.<br />but do you know that the store owners are mostly PNG locals? the chinese traders just rent the stores from the locals.<br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />all of these crooks and scoundrels came into power because we the voters empower them.<br /><br />if we don't change our wantok and bigman culture, we will forever be responsible for our sad fate.<br />not the australians, not the asians, and any other nations that we choose to blame.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01678129122100863449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500433815145563157.post-6550976759049760512012-08-04T23:15:41.448+10:002012-08-04T23:15:41.448+10:00Nathan,
