by JOHN KATI Anyone still doubting that Peter O'Neill has quietly established himself as PNG's first dictator need only look at 4 different pillars of democracy that he has successfully dismantled in their abilities to provide checks and balances on the abuse of power of the Prime Minister.  He has now dismantled: 1/ investigative units of our country, including Anti-Corruption Task Force and until recently, the Fraud Squad (which has been re-opened in a castrated form), 2/ the courts and their ability to provide quick resolution of cases, 3/ Parliament, specifically through the dismantling of any ability for there to be a healthy sized opposition or advancing motions of no confidence, 4/ Police no longer serve the public but serves Peter O'Neill's interests. They have come down hard twice now on anyone opposing his regime. 4/ the police protection of the public.  The role of the PNG Constabulary has been corrupted to now protect the Prime Minister’s pow

by JASON WAUGLE This is a story of the latest attempt by Peter O’Neill to dismantle PNG’s democracy and establish himself as a ‘Guided Democracy’ style ‘benevolent dictator’ and ‘ruler for life’ in the style of Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe.   We describe here his successful neutralization of Parliament and of MPs as an effective body to exercise check and balance oversight over the Office of the Prime Minister.   The ongoing obstructions of Parliamentary proceedings has turned out to be a classic example illustrating a repeated pattern of  Peter O’Neill amassing personal wealth and power that is now frightening people throughout Papua New Guinea.   THE PM’s ONE FATAL FLAW:   CREATING TOO MUCH CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT CAN BE USED TO ESTABLISH PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOUR The following information would have never been discovered if Peter O’Neill had not made himself an easy target for a particular logic used to solve problems.  It is popularly called ‘connecting the dots,’ which mean

THE LNG LANDOWNERS OPPORTUNITY TO BUY 4.22 % EQUITY FROM THE STATE ENDS ON 30 JUNE 2016; WILL PETER O’NEILL FIND THE MONEY TO MEET THE OBLIGATIONS? by ANDRE BILAK STEVEN PNG is already having a serious cash flow problem, and nothing can be more evidenced than the Minister for Finance James Marape’s statement few weeks ago that all MPs (who supposed to receive K15m DSIP funds) will receive K1 million each for this year. The cash flow crisis is affecting business houses, government departments and households like never before. The Bank of Papua New Guinea has about less than US$1.4 billion in reserves against pending foreign exchange orders of around K4 billion plus and the situation is not improving any sooner. The endless cue for sending funds overseas is unbearable and killing many import reliant businesses in this import-reliant economy.

by LEKEM LAKI Australian Brian Kelly who took an article on Post Courier dated 10th June 2016, on page 8, titled, “CEO on Black Swan ownership”. Who is Brian Kelly trying to brain wash? Papua New Guineans aren’t all naïve and ignorant people to believe Brian Kelly’s bullshits. He purportedly came out publicly in the height of commotion on Wednesday (9th June 2016) to divert the public perception on the ownership of Black Swan International. There is no secret about who owns Black Cat, Phoenix, L&A, Global Construction, Remington and Black Swan international. Also, it is no secret about who is associated to pathological liar and master thief Peter O’Neil whether it be national or opportunist expatriates. Brian Kelly is closely associated to Peter O’Neil managing his Remington Company and we have vivid memory of Brian Kelly’s business connection and political affiliation to PO and PNC. It’s a public knowledge, Brian Kelly can’t erase it even with indelible ink
