O'NEILL'S COMFORT OF LIES

by STEVEN ANDRE
Many have described our Prime Minister, right honourable Peter O’Neill as “O’Liar”, “Pathological liar”, “serial Liar”, etc and I refused to be one. But it has come to a time when I have to sit down and analyze whether those words hold true. The following is what I managed to dig up from the internet.
On 9th August 2013 at 5:36pm, Peter O’Neill has the following conversation with Jonny Blades of Radio New Zealand:
“JOHNNY BLADES: Some of the people in your own cabinet might be looked at. You're happy with that? Anyone can be investigated?

PETER O'NEILL: I've told cabinet from day one and members of parliament from day one, no-one is above the law, including the prime minister. No-one is above the law. Where they're answerable for their actions they must be held accountable. And they all know the rules that are there. We all know the laws that are there, and I think it's important that the right message is given to our leaders and our people. This is a massive problem for us. If we do not tackle it now it'll become even worse into the future. So that is why we are making sure we address it through this independent commission.”
When ABC Four Corners interviewed Mr O’Neill about NPF and Parakagate and here is his response: “Listen, I’ve always stated very clearly that if there is new evidence out there that suggests that I have acted corruptly in my dealings with anybody, I’m answerable to the same laws like anyone else.” See the interview on: http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/stories/2013/09/23/3852506.htm
In the Parakagate, O’Neill tells ABC Four Corners that the letter bearing his signature was not his because “I don’t write to Secretaries. I write to Ministers.”
In the subsequent payment of K50 million for the second hand PNG Power generators from Israel, O’Neill admits writing to Secretary for Treasury Daire Vele directly (without Minister Ben Micah (State Owned Enterprise) and Patrick Pruaitch (Minister Treasury) knowledge), directing payment.
When Peter O’Neill was questioned by Hon Belden Namah in Parliament of the alleged letter that he wrote authorising payment of Paraka bills, Mr O’Neill denied authorship of the letter. He claimed it was forged. However, in a subsequent letter dated 15th May 2013 he confirms the previous letter hence undermines his forgery claims. See http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-07-10/second-letter-undermines-png-prime-ministers-forgery-claims/5586038
Besides the existence of the second letter, there was a forensic examination of O’neill’s original letter. The forensic examination confirmed that the signature on that letter was Mr O’Neill’s. See http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-06-17/fresh-evidence-involving-png-pml/5528244
 Paul Tiensten was imprisoned for a mere footnote directing payment of K10 million and there was no evidence linking how Tiensten benefited from the transaction. A mere directive was sufficient to lend him to 9 years imprisonment with hard labour. Peter O’Neill had directed in a letter under his hand for the payment of more than K71.8 million, yet he had the audacity to make the following statements in Australia at the Press Club recently (3/3/16):
            “Mr O'Neill said that the legal case was taking its course.
"Show me where I have received one toea (PNG coin) or one Kina (cash currency) and I will resign tomorrow," he told the National Press Club in Canberra on Thursday.
So one wonders, how can the court (the criminal court process), establish O’Neill’s innocence when the very process is being stifled by O’Neill through the civil courts, filing all manner of applications? How can the legal process take its course when he is putting all manner of road blocks? How can that process take its course when it hasn’t even started yet due to his interference? Not to mention that he doesn’t have to benefit personally to be guilty of the crime according to the Tiensten case. Just a directive is sufficient.
Peter O’Neill thinks that he is brilliant in wearing his disguise but is not realising that he is weaving a web of lies that entangles himself and his leadership. How does it feel like having a prime minister who is the most untrusted and habitually lies to the whole world? Does he ever realise that his lies are retrievable and can be tested against each other? Probably the mountain of his lies have reached beyond his height that he cannot reach over and see what transpired yesterday.
There is something called the virtual world where your prior inconsistent statements are stored and accessible by anyone around the world. Peter O’Neill is still thinking that he is in Pangia stealing kaukau and the whole world doesn’t know.
Next time when you go overseas and address international media, please have some decency and responsibility.

HIGHLANDS FRAUD F*CKS RUNNING GOVERNMENT AGENCY,,,

A Fraudster and unqualified person has been shortlisted for NEC submission for the position of CEPA Managing Director. The candidate in question is Jude Tukulyia. His academic credentials are subject to scrutiny. Further investigation is required to verify the authenticity and legitimacy of his qualifications, particularly the reported diploma in accounting, Bachelor of Laws, MBA from Divine Word and UPNG respectively. It is very suspicious and unprofessional  when the Minister for Environment Conservation and Climate Change, Hon Simo Kilepa, wrote to UPNG Vice Chancellor asking to confirm Jude’s questioned education qualifications. This very due diligence work is the core responsibility of the Public Service Commission and Department of Personnel Management. What authority does the portfolio minister have to write to the Universities? Dumbfounding indeed if one asks. Ulterior motives written all over the letter. This amounts to  Questionable Academic Qualifications of Mr Tukulyia.

MARAPE & PAITA ABOUT TO SIGN AWAY PNG GOLD

Image
By: Andrew Arthur Prime Minister Hon. James Marape and his planning minister Reinbo Paita are the parties behind the theft of all Papua New Guinea’s gold for the next 100 years! They have given approval for the STATE of Papua New Guinea to sign away all gold rights to an Australian paper company in Refinery Holdings PTE LTD. First, they have done the deal with a paper company even before there is a LAW that says they have the right to do the deal. We see how the real manipulation works out. Marape and Paita now need to get the law passed by Parliament. The law is before the Parliament to set up Papua New Guinea’s first National Gold Corporation. The National Gold Corporation Bill first surfaced in 2012 but successive Government of Sir Michael Somare and Hon. Peter O’Neill, in their wisdom, had refused to pass this Bill as there have been some sinister motives and constitutional issues associated with the Bill. The new bill will allow Refinery Holdings LTD PTE to own 70% of the National

AUGUSTINE MANO PNG'S PREMIER CORPORATE CROOK

Image
by  MICHAEL J. PASSINGAN In a significant setback for Mineral Resources Development Corporation (MRDC), the Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea has dismissed the company's appeal to stop criminal investigations into its dealings with landowner funds held in the Pacific Balance Fund (PBF). The court ruled that MRDC's appeal was an "abuse of process" and ordered the company to pay costs of the proceedings. MRDC, a unit holder in PBF, had taken legal action against the National Court's decision to dismiss its case, arguing that the court had no jurisdiction to hear the matter. However, the Supreme Court disagreed and held that MRDC's appeal was nothing more than an attempt to interfere with the police's criminal investigative process. The court found that MRDC had no authority to conducted its own investigation into the activities of the Melanesian Trustee Services Limited (MTSL), the fund manager of PBF, and that its actions were in violation of the Trust Deed

PNG, VERY RICH YET STILL A VERY VERY POOR COUNTRY

Image
by GARY MONDULAME Papua New Guinea (PNG), a nation blessed with abundant natural resources, continues to grapple with economic challenges that belie its potential wealth. The nation's economic narrative is a paradox—rich in resources yet burdened by poverty. The explanation for this paradox lies not only in economic mismanagement but also in deep-seated corruption that has permeated the political landscape since independence in 1975. Following its independence from Australia, PNG was entrusted to leaders who lacked a vision for a holistic national development. This absence of foresight is evident from the lack of long-term development plans that could have distributed the country’s wealth fairly across all regions and communities. Successive governments failed to establish foundational strategies such as building satellite townships or creating robust rural housing schemes. Instead, they resorted to short-term, reactive measures that did not foster sustainable growth. The nascent l

James Marape's Missteps Openly Exposed at Australian Forum

Image
by  MICHAEL J. PASSINGAN  In a recent event that highlighted the complexities of international diplomacy and governance, Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister, James Marape, faced a challenging situation during his appearance at the Lowy Institute in Sydney, Australia. The Lowy Institute, known for its role as an independent think tank focusing on international policy, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, provided a platform for a candid assessment of Marape's governance. Following his formal address, Marape engaged in a dialogue with Dr. Michael Fullilove AM, the Executive Director of the Institute. Dr. Fullilove, a respected figure in public and international policy, scrutinized Marape's past promises and statements, contrasting them with the current state of affairs in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The discussion took a critical turn as Dr. Fullilove revisited Marape's 2019 speech at the same venue, where Marape had outlined his vision for PNG in a speech titled “A New Boo

A Call for Local Ownership and Fairness

Image
by JUSTIN PARKER In recent discussions surrounding the establishment of a gold refinery in Papua New Guinea (PNG), concerns have been raised regarding various aspects of the proposed project. Spearheaded by foreign investors, the initiative has sparked debates over ownership, exclusivity, tax concessions, underwriting, management rights, control over currency, legal protections, and historical failures. These concerns, if unaddressed, could potentially undermine the interests of PNG and its people, particularly the hardworking alluvial miners who form the backbone of the nation's mining sector. At the heart of the issue lies the question of ownership. The proposed ownership structure, favoring foreign investors with a substantial 70% stake, raises eyebrows, especially considering PNG's past experiences with failed ventures like seabed mining. Instead of ceding majority control to foreign entities, many argue that PNG should assert full ownership over the refinery. With the coun
