by GREG KONDE THE first liquefied natural gas cargo of the PNG LNG project was loaded onto the Spirit of Hela ship on May 14, 2014.  The three markets for the PNG liquified natural gas are Japan,  China and Taiwan (primarily Japan).  The project sends 6.9 million tons of LNG to the three Asian markets per year. Founding father of the nation Sir Michael Somare said in the July 22, 2016 Post Courier that he “cannot understand how our economy is managed. Despite 250 shipments of Oil and Gas so far, there is nothing to show for (it).” He said one shipment is around USD$220 million and questioned why the government keep borrowing.  He stated that Prime Minister Peter O'Neill should tell the people the truth about the economic situation affecting the country. Exxon Mobil receives the largest portion of the income – that is to be expected as they invested far more than anyone else, an amount of $US20B (K50B).

by SIR MEKERE MORAUTA Electoral Commissioner Patilias Gamato must not cook up an undemocratic, unfair and unrepresentative sitting of Parliament by selective and staggered return of writs and candidate declarations, former Prime Minister Sir Mekere Morauta said today. He has promised a free and fair election, and he must live up to his promise at least in the final stages. “Every step up to now has been compromised and manipulated to attain one particular outcome – the election of a PNC Prime Minister and Government,” Sir Mekere said. “People have seen through all the tricks used by PNC and Mr Gamato and people will not tolerate more of the same.” The Electoral Commission and the former PNC Government have engineered and presided over a chaotic election characterised by extraordinary irregularities, deaths and violence in many areas, and now deliberate delays in counting, quality checks and eliminations/distribution of preferences. Enough is enough. Democracy and fairness must be

The people have spoken No sexual predators in the next Parliament. The list of MPs exposed by PNGBLOGS have all fallen victims to the people's verdict at the polling boot. The list is made up of high calibre MPs and senior Ministers, even including the Deputy Prime Minister, Now that they will no longer have the protection of being in government and roam around as Statesman, Police and TASK Force sweep after the formation of the new government must move in very quickly and restart investigations into these former MPs. A majority are from the Ruling PNC party who are sexual perverts engaged in sex mostly with their own relatives, they are Attorney General and Prime Minister hand Ano Pala, CIS Minister Jim Simintab (Wewak MP) Deputy Prime Minister Sir Leo Dion and Samarai Murua MP lifetime backbencher, Gordon Wesley.   Ano Pala MP who took over his son's wife, chasing out the son and taking over his wife marrying her and becoming the father to his own grand-kid and now fos

by Laken Lepatu Aigilo At my Mother's Kailam Rest House at Philikambi LLG, the Presiding Officer therein Mr. Yakopian, a public servant strongman of Peter Ipatas crossed all the votes that contained my box number (20) & put PI's box number (21). That was discovered by the Scrutineers, Counting Officials & Security Personnel present at the time. Police looked for the said PO to arrest & charge him accordingly but he is on the run. All the 25 ballot boxes of Philikambi had been hijacked & my votes we re crossed or foreign ballot papers replaced the genuine ones. This was the execution of PI's evil Election-rigging plan executed by his men spearheaded by Ringleader suspended Enga PPC George Kakas (Reported in the newspaper, allegation which he was suspended) & Deputy Ringleader ARO Mr. Tandanei plus the little demons (POs).  I must say this, which is a common knowledge in Enga, that PI had rigged the Enga Election. The Election Manag

Jackson Amaiu who is Port Moresby North East MP's brother made a substantial deposit of K20,000 into the personal account of POM North East Return Officer Mr. THOMAS RANGO. A Bank teller who wanted to remain anonymous  has come fort with startling evidence of the money depositied in the RO's personal account number. 1004420236. With this revelation in place, The NCD Election Manager who is also embroiled in controversy after beating up scrutineers this week should act quickly and sideline the Returning Officer and order an investigation into Mr Thomas Rongo. PNC is losing this election, people across the country have spoken through the ballot process, only a handful of candidate in the Highlands and some part of Central and Milne Bay have gone with the incumbents. With more losses coming PNC will do anything to stay in power and have the keys to the vault to move money to make government. We appeal to patriotic Papua New Guineans who believe in the future of this cou

  The PNC ghost candidate in Moresby North-West, Joe Tonde suddenly seems to be in desperate need of cash. He withdrew K4.5 million from his bank this week. at the same time as eliminations for MNW are further delayed by Peter O’Neill’s favourite puppet on a string, Gamato the Tomato. Tomato’s stalling tactics are deliberate. Mainly they open the door to more vote-rigging through bribery of election officials (Tomato is always first in line with his hand out) and tampering with ballot boxes and papers. Tonde (PNG One Nation Party) needs to fill boxes and boxes with the fake and duplicate papers PNC has supplied him if he hopes to beat Sir Mek and Lohia Boe Samuel from Hanuabada. His only hope is for Tomato and his crooked team to give him the time to do it, which he has now got. Tonde can also get past election security through his PNC contacts and his business partner and mentor John Pundari (they have a security business). Tonde also needs his millions in cash

Former Prime Minister Sir Mekere Morauta today urged all newly-elected independent Members of Parliament to join the Independent Team or friendly parties in Opposition, but not PNC. “Peter O’Neill and PNC have tried every possible trick to rig the election,” he said. “Despite this, Opposition candidates have made strong gains – witness the sweep Pangu is making in Morobe, while other Opposition parties and Independents are leading in most seats. “These MPs-elect have fought strong campaigns against the odds and won. PNC is out-numbered 2-1 in the declarations so far. Opposition parties have joined together to provide a very clear alternative to Peter O’Neill. “But the fight is not over yet. Mr O’Neill is trying to stall the Opposition’s gains by slowing counting and attempting to lure independent candidates. “It will not work. People are not blind to Mr O’Neill’s tactics; people are sick of his abuse of power and are calling for change. “Already P
