by GABINA TAU Post Courier is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Limited . It's biggest PNG shareholder is Nambawan Super with almost 26 percent. Strangely NSL does not have a director on the board which gives the management free reign. The Managing Director Kevin Smith is gay and lives with a little gay boy (half kerema hula). Together with other corrupt managers they been busy building the private empires. Kevin Smith is close to Ozzie at Ela Beach Hotel and through him to Peter O'Neill. Smith and his management frequent Airways Bacchus bar where he has a private drinks cabinet for him and his gay lovers. Over the years Kevin Smith and the late editor Blaise Nagoi had a desire to win an award in the News Limited annual awards for excellence in journalism.  They got close once with Gorethy Kenneth who is a O'Neill girl and regular Paddy's stool warmer. So their luck struck when a conman named Simon Eroro dreamt up this unbelievably outrageous concoction of a

  by MICHAEL PASSINGAN Its not Rocket Science, Papua New Guineans should know that the country is crumbling. Bank of PNG Governor Loi Bakani’s explanation of the theft of K124 million in demonetised banknotes, and their illegal distribution across the country and on EBay, is pathetic. The theft is clearly an inside job and Bakani’s statement is an attempt to cover that fact up. It could only have been carried out with detailed knowledge of the bank’s practices for the destruction of notes that have been taken out of circulation. Even more alarming is that the scandal – yes, another one in the O’Neill Regime, one of the most corrupt governments in the world – comes at election time. It won’t be long before the money starts appearing in the Highlands as election bribes by PNC candidates and coalition cronies Some stories circulating in Highlands centres indicate that that is already happening. It’s an easy thing to do, as PNC’s crooked strategists surely know. Villagers in remot

by MICHAEL PASSINGAN One of Prime Minister Peter O’Neill’s movers and shakers in the Defence Force land fraud, and many others, is accountant Phillip Eludeme. Eludeme, chairman of the Central Supply and Tenders Board, has now been suspended by Prime Minister Peter O’Neill over his role in the corrupt purchase of land at Manumanu, Central Province. It was always an obvious suspension, given that Eludeme was directly involved in the fraud and benefitted personally. But, mysteriously, he was not one of the victims of O’Neill’s first response to the scandal when he made scapegoats of Defence Minister Fabian Pok, Public Enterprise Minister William Duma, and a range of senior officials. It was as if Phillip Eludeme, fixer and facilitator for O’Neill and his criminal crony Jimmy Maladina, did not exist on Monday when O’Neill provided details of his fake inquiry. Yet Eludeme has been named as receiving a kickback of K8.5 million from the Manumanu fraud. He also benefited directly as di

by  MYKALG WALGHE If there was a ranking for "the dumbest parliament" in the commonwealth then PNG would rank at the top , courtesy of 90% of its MPs who are unable to think critically, clearly, rationally, logically and contribute and debate constructively on national issues in the parliament. The PNG Parliament, the highest law making body of the land has become a laughing stock simply because our so called MPs have conducted themselves with less aptitude and intelligence over the last 20 years or so. It seems most of the MPs are loosing touch with the issues affecting the nation when they are supposed to be cognizance and on top of every issues as national leaders. Most of the leaders are caught off-guarded and are lost when important issues are raised in parliament and it's very embarrassing for them looking like fools in the parliament not knowing what to say. Most of the MPs hate parliament sittings badly and wish that the sessions would end quickly so t

by JAMES YOKA EKIP My name is James Yoka Ekip. I am from Hagen district, Western Highlands Province. I contested the Hagen Open seat in the last election (2012). Below is my opinion of what's happening with the Electoral Commission and the scamming and defrauding of funds from the State. I now see the “writing on the wall” clearly. Peter O’Neil is behind all the dirty politics that has been happening in Western Highlands and Hagen politics. My conclusion and that of most Western Highlanders and Hageners is that Prime Minister Peter O’Neil has created this problem between Mr. Duma and Mr. Wingti and he is using the two leaders against each other. In the process he is finishing both of them. He is talking to one leader and saying one thing and talking to the other leader and blaming that leader for some of his decisions going against that leaders favor. PM blamed Wingti for the none funding of Hagen City Authority in the 2017 national budget and Duma slaps Wingti on the floo

by ROLLAND JAMES Prime Minister Peter O’Neill’s decision to have his two senior Ministers sidelined and a dozen heads of government organisations suspended in connection with the controversial Manumanu land deal is welcomed. In announcing his government’s decision at a media conference Monday, Mr O’Neill said “We want to clearly demonstrate to our country and to our people that our Government is committed to the principles and practises of good governance.” And I thought –really? Is this the joke of the century? Since when did this corrupt government commit to observing the principles of good governance? Is it not a case of convenience and saving face exercise? My suspicion is like a situation of a bank robbery going wrong where the criminals shoot at each other after robbing the bank. Is O’Neill not more concerned about Duma and United Resource Party being resourced for the elections, than a genuine concern to protect the interest of the public? I am led to lean to the former.

PETER O'NEILL HAS DEDICATED THE LAST 4 1/2 YEARS TO PARALYSING ANY DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTION OF GOVERNMENT DESIGNED TO KEEP CHECKS ON ANY LEADER AMASSING TOO MUCH POWER, THEN ABUSING IT:  by JERVIS TEMA He has successfully paralysed the ability of the police, fraud squad, ombudsman commission, auditor general, etc to investigate white collar crime or leader abuse of power by strangling them financially and if necessary, shutting them down physically. He has successfully strangled the court system using his old strategy which has worked so well for his NPF fraud troubles and others in the past. Mounting endless court challenges passes time to the point the public forgets all about the case. That's when Peter O'Neill (and Jimmy Maladina) can make a deal, through bribery or intimidation (whatever it takes) to end the court case in his favour. He has successfully castrated Parliament until it has become an easy to manipulate puppet, usually successfully warding off Vote of

by MICHAEL J. PASSINGAN The Duma-Pok-Eludeme fraud over land at Manumanu is only one of a number of corrupt O’Neill Regime activities that are undermining national security and the national interest. They also include frauds against the Defence Department by Defence Minister Pok and his brother-in-law, Defence Secretary John Asi, and the Prime Minister’s facilitation of the granting of illegal citizenship to Indonesian fugitive Djoko Tjandra (Joe Chan). First, the Manumanu fraud. A very senior PNGDF Maritime Officer has revealed that the Manumanu land fraud is a risk to national security. In a Facebook post Karry Frank, a ranking officer, says the Navy project team for the relocation of Lancron advised the Defence Force Commander, the Defence Minister and the Defence Secretary not to relocate to Manumanu. “The project team recommended moving to Motukea, a move that was previously agreed to by all parties concerned,” he wrote. “Manumanu is absolutely NOT suitable for a Na
