HUGE COST OF NEW LOAN AS O’NEILL CUTS PS PAY

Image
MICHAEL J PASSINGAN Prime Minister Peter O’Neill’s planned new $US500 million loan is gong to be one of the most expensive borrowings in PNG history. And it comes at a time when his mad economic policies are hurting public servants even more.  National Department of Health doctors’ last pay and entitlements have been cut by about 50% More Public Servants are facing pay and entitlement cuts. O’Neill has even short-changed police. What next – Defence Force? The loan will help ease the foreign exchange shortage, but is only a stop-gap. In the long run it will make the nation’s economic and financial problems worse.  O’Neill has destroyed the country’s economic reputation overseas and now unscrupulous lenders are moving in for the kill as they realize how desperate the Prime Minister and his kon men cronies are. The syndicated loan being sought from Credit Suisse (yes ANOTHER Swiss bank) is set at 7% interest rate on US dollars. The standard inter-bank interest rate (known as

BAKI AND SNIFFER DOG HALF BLIND PORN STAR IVAROA STILL ON THE LOOKOUT TO CHARGE FRAUD SQUAD LAWYERS

by MICHAEL PASSINGAN PNG Blogs has received well founded rumours that Peter O'Neill's favored sniffer dogs such as Gari Baki, and his hit team headed by half-blinded and porn-star Jacob Ivaroa are still on the look out for anything to charge the lawyers representing Matthew Damaru and the Fraud Squad Officers in this ongoing saga. Peter O'Neill's and his corrupt regime's fate hangs in the balance as the Courts and the public are closing in on him. These policemen had been conditioned by O'Neill and Lupari to find anything and everything against Damaru and the Fraud Squad team and the Lawyers representing them. There had been numerous countless occasions witnessed by the Country of such vindictive witch hunting. Peter O'Neill and his henchmen are again at it. They are sniffing around to find anything and everything to stop this process from moving. The Country is fed up with these erratic behavior. PNG is now protesting the leadership of P'

WHO IS MISLEADING WHO?

by BRYAN KRAMER Yesterday (19/5/16) Governor of National Capital District Powes Parkop accepted University of PNG (UPNG) Students petition on behalf of the Prime Minister Peter O'Neill. UPNG Student Representative Council (SRC) President presented the students petition to the Governor but not before making known their demand for Prime Minister to step down within 24 hours (3pm today) or th ere would be a mass withdrawal of students from campus. When receiving the petition Governor Parkop said he was proud of the students. "You have the right to raise your voice when you see that something has gone wrong, and we as mandated leaders have the responsibility to listen." he said. He also stated he was not directed by the Prime Minister to receive the petition but as the Governor of NCD. Soon after the Governor received the petition O'Neill issued a media statement acknowledging he had received it. "I thank the students for the mature manner in w

WILL O’NEILL RESIGN AS PETITIONED?

by ELIZAH PAMA This article analyses PETER O’NEILL’S LIKELY RESPONSE TO THE PETITION presented by the Students at UPNG and it is based on his initial reaction when receiving the petition. The article also contextualises with O’Neill’s entrenched character. The students of Papua New Guinea in major universities and colleges led by UPNG have Thursday presented their petition to Prime Minister Peter O’Neill through his proxy former activist and now governor, Powes Parkop. The presentation was witnessed by more than 15,000 people who congregated at the University of PNG Forum Square well before the arrival of PM O’Neill’s delegates. For reasons only known the O’Neill, he refused to receive the petition from the students himself. The Petition was presented at around 3 pm whereby the Prime Minister was given 24 hours to respond and Governor Parkop promised that he would deliver the petition right away. PNG Loop news reports at 5:16pm the acknowledgement of receipt of the petition by the P

CAN THE JUDICIARY STAMP ITS AUTHORITY AND MAKE THE FUGITIVE POLITICIANS AND BUREAUCRATS TO PAY FOR THE DEEDS OF CRIME? by YAKAN LEPAKALI It’s sad and very disappointing to observe the political episodes all for bad reasons. People of Papua New Guinea don’t deserve this don’t they? Why the pack of wolfs in sheep’s skin who always wanting to appear on camera with their brave but faceless faces claim they are mandated but mandated for all the wrong reasons? So called mandated leaders are deliberately telling lies through their teeth misinforming the naïve people of this resource rich country of the realities and not be fair dinkum. Supposedly, they were to be the servants serving the people but intriguingly, the opposite is true….people are the servants and members of parliament become the master …..on people to member relational basis. However, more subtly, minus the opposition, all have become servants to master Peter O’Neil. It is telling, members of parliament care less

SUSAN MERRELL - JOURNALIST OR OPPORTUNIST?

Image
by BRYAN KRAMER A question most people on social media are asking - who is Susan Merrell and why is so concerned about PNG's affairs. To answer the first question Susan Merrell comes from South Wales in the United Kingdom, she migrated to Australia and is based in Sydney. She is a mother of two sons. She has a PHD in political science from University of NSW. Her thesis paper was titled "Harri Webb and the Dilemma of Welsh Political Nationalism" Who is Harri Webb? He a was an Anglo-Welsh poet, nationalist, journalist and librarian. Hardly a topic of significance in the field of political science. Merrell also has a Masters Degree in Media Practice in French, Media Politics from the University of Sydney (1997-2008) which took her almost ten years to complete. She also claims to have a Bachelors of Arts and Master of Arts in French and Politics. For those who don't know what a PHD is, it stands for Doctor of Philosophy. It is an advanced de

DESPERATE O'NEILL WILLING TO ENACT EMERGENCY POWERS ACT TO SAVE HIIMSELF

Image
PNGBCN Let’s be honest with ourselves. Peter O’Neill and Isaac Lupari are piles of dogshit. They will not hesitate to destroy PNG to save themselves. Here are some of the Constitutional powers they will abuse to do that: PART X. — EMERGENCY POWERS. Division 1. — Introductory. 226. Definitions. In this Part, unless the contrary intention appears— "declaration of a national emergency" means a declaration under Section 228 (declaration of national emergency); "emergency" includes, without limiting the generality of the expression— (a) imminent danger of war between Papua New Guinea and another country, or of warlike operations threatening national security; and (b) an earthquake, volcanic eruption, storm, tempest, flood, fire or outbreak of pestilence or infectious disease, or any other natural calamity whether similar to any such occurrence or not on such an extensive scale as to be likely to endanger the public safety or to deprive the communit

O'NEILL TO IMPLEMENT WORLD BANK STYLE LAND GRAB NEXT YEAR

Image
by MICHAEL JOSEPH PASSINGAN   Peter O’Neill will start implementing a massive World-Bank style land grab this year using the Small-Medium Enterprise Policy and Master Plan as a tool to fool customary landholders. The big winners are expected to be his own companies and cronies like the Costantinou family, Nii Cragnolini and the L&A Group, corrupt lawyer Jimmy Maladina and all the other konmen he shares his loot with. Customary landowners will be left with no land and a few crumbs from the business feast. Item 3.7 of the Master Plan states that beginning in 2016 the Government will start providing financial support to the Lands Department “to acquire customary Land.” Sources within the Lands Department say that land identified by the O’Neill Regime as essential for business purposes will be taken over whether customary landowners agree or not. They will have no say in the price paid, and there are no avenues for them to appeal or oppose compulsory acquisit

An opposing view on the student unrest

Image
by THRISTE BEAR Students and NGO’s have better things to worry about than going on strike & boycotting classes! History has it that those so called university students and NGO’s prey on the ignorance of ordinary masses to buy sympathy for their own selfish ends. They are like dogs barking at people who are eating meat on the other side of the fence. When they manoeuvre their way through that side their convictions, belief and ethical standards they claim to fight for are irrelevant. They flow on with the tide and the status quo of corruption in the corridors of power in Waigani. The ugly head of corruption keeps on raring its head and going from bad to worse. We have past students leaders in late Peter Waieng, John Tekwie, NGO MELSOL advocate Peti Lafanama and few others in current 5th parliament were very vocal on issues of national importance. They were voted into parliament because of their hardnosed stand against matters of national interest.  When they enter

PNG GET REAL: NOBODY IS SAVING PNG AT THIS JUNCTURE

Image
by NOAH ARIKU PM Peter O'Neill has serious allegations against him and it is for the Court of Law to judge him. This issue can be settled within the next few months or couple of years. There is something of greater national importance and negative impacts on the next generation that I want to share here. This issue takes around 30 years to settle. We will be leaving ourselves open to further exploitation, for the next 30 years, if we dedicate all our time to discuss the "failures" of PM Peter O'Neill. People are saying we must remove PM Peter O'Neill to rescue PNG. Well and good but be aware that the replacement will either cunningly or stupidly justify the continued raping of our natural resources by Transnational Corporations under the guise of increased foreign investor confidence and a pressing need for foreign reserves to grow our (foreign) export industry. The strategy is so simple that we easily miss it whilst character assassinating each oth

O’NEILL SAGA OF CORRUPTION AND DICTATORSHIP NEARING ITS FINAL PHASE: EVIL FIGHTS BACK

Image
by GEORGE TRIASI The PNG Banana Republic Alive and Well The amazing advertisement run by Peter O’Neill in yesterday’s (Friday) newspapers is a masterpiece of political theatre in a banana republic.  Banana republic is an insulting term used worldwide to refer to a tropical country that has a weak economy, dishonest government, public services that do not work or any combination of these.  Banana republic dictators and their servant politicians usually behave like clowns, unable to think intellectually and speaking like children.  When you hear a politician reduced to such statements as “telling my people too much will only confuse them” you know you’re in a banana republic.  Welcome to Papua New Guinea. PNG has long been a banana republic but Prime Minister Peter O’Neill has taken us to the highest level ever in this category.  The government right now doesn’t even have enough money to honour its 2016 funding commitments to health and education services, yet Peter O’Neill
