By THEDORE ZURENUOC, PNG Parliament Speaker I would like to take this opportunity to inform the people of Papua New Guinea about the Reformation, Restoration and Modernization program that is taking place at the National Parliament, which has been partly reported by some sections of the mainstream media. When Parliament elected me to the Speaker’s chair last year, I inherited a house that had lost its dignity, integrity, respect and reverence. The Parliament had become a house riddled with rotten administrative systems and processes that urgently needed reformation and restoration, and modernization to bring it up to international standards. Since Parliament stands as a symbol of collective wisdom and the pinnacle of political decision-making in which noble dreams of great men and women have been, and will continue to be, translated into reality through legislation that will transcend to the Executive, Judiciary and the rest of society, it needed the reformation, restoration and modern

By Rev Joseph Walters Carved images of humans including obscene images and other weird looking creatures that have eyes but can not see, have ears but can not hear and mouths that can not speak can be divided into two groups.  Firstly, it can be the handiwork of a genius' master-piece showing off his artisan prowess and gifts, period.  Secondly, and commonly in PNG that a lot of this carvings have far deeper meaning and connotations than just mere works of art.They are visible reflections and expressions of a person or society in search for identity and destiny. They also represent his search for an inner longing for a person, force or deity much greater than himself. Apostle Paul called this "the unknown god" when he addressed the philosophers and those indoctrinated by Plato, Socrates and Aristotle on Mars Hill in Athens steep in a mixture of heathen ism, idolatry and paganism We all know too well in PNG of our spiritual roots.

By GABRIEL RAMOI The sacrilege committed by Theo Zurenouc  in destroying work of Art by PNG Master Carvers  displayed in Parliament is akin to Pope Fransis ordering the destruction of the  work of Art by Michael Angelo in the Sistine Chapel. The idea that by removing this works of Art , Parliament  and the Body Politics of PNG will be cleansed  from  Dark  Pagan  Forces  associated with this body of Art Work is a misguided attack  on our  aesthetic past that has helped define us as a people.  The sacrilege to parliament is  based on the interpretation  of the  Christian Covenant  in the new testament bible  with the Semitic  God of the old testament Bible and  that there can be no worship of  idols  but that of the  one true God Yahweh . That this  idea forms the Fundamental Philosophical and moral basis upon which Modern PNG is constructed upon and must be held on to the exclusion of any other belief system to give meaning and Christian purpose to our Modern Government is erroneous.
