PETER O'NEILL'S REAL DEBT

by MICHAEL JOSEPH PASSINGAN

No believes what comes out of Prime Minister Peter O’Neill’s mouth any more.

New research has discovered that everything he said on the National Public Debt crisis of Papua New Guinea are all lies.

It can be easily demonstrated that the national debt is much higher than the false numbers given by PM O’Neill.

That brings bad news for the struggling people of Papua New Guinea, like Public Servants who are not being paid because the nation is bankrupt.

Spending on essential services such as health, education, law and order, and transport will have to be cut even more.

Mr O’Neill and his conmen are still getting fat on all the money they have stolen and sent to Australia, but the quality of life for the all other citizens is falling faster and faster.

HERE IS WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING

For 2015 the annual repayment of official debt of K17.8 billion was K1.5 billion, it says in the O’Neill regime’s own Budget papers.

Grade 10 arithmetic tells us that is an interest rate of about 8.5%.


But Mr O’Neill has hidden large amounts of his debt from the people. THE REAL NATIONAL DEBT IS K27 billion.

This number has been confirmed by independent international reports, including International Monetary Fund’s latest report.

Repayments on PETER O’NEILL’S REAL DEBT will therefore be K2.3 billion a year at least.

But the repayments are likely to go as high as K3 billion because the Prime Minister is still looking about to borrow even more money to pay PNC’s election campaign.

All the cash bribes, slush funds, payoffs to EC officials, police, defence force and all his tricks like phony contracts to his cronies.

He is still looking for the sovereign bond issue of $US1 billion, and K10 billion from ExIm Bank of China.

Now there is news from Australia that he has refinanced the UBS-Oil Search share con deal.
This will add to PNG National Public Debt because penalty interest rates have to be paid plus a lump sum penalty.

Debt repayment under the O’Neill regime is going to be another crisis of suffering for PNG.

Repayment of debt is now higher than spending in the 2016 Budget on essential services.

It is more than Health spending of K1.5 billion, Education spending of K1.3 billion, Law and Justice spending of K1.2 billion and Transport spending of K1.2 billion.

O’Neill is giving more money to lenders, mostly foreign, than he is spending on the health and welfare of his own people.

THIS IS THE REAL REASON WHY PM O’NEILL CANNOT PAY PUBLIC SERVANTS, WHY THERE IS NO MONEY TO BUY MEDICINE FOR HOSPITALS, WHY SCHOOLS ARE CLOSING, WHY THOUSANDS OF VILLAGE PEOPLE ARE STARVING FROM EL NINO, DOCTORS AND NURSES, POLICE AND SOLDERS AND TEACHERS LIVING LIKE PIGS, THE CON FREE EDUCATION AND FREE HEALTH CARE POLICIES NOT BEING FUNDED AND MANY OTHER DISASTERS FROM CASH FLOW CRISIS.

This is the legacy of Peter O’Neill: people suffering, destroyed economy, destroyed state finances, destroyed institutions of state, made Papua New Guinea an international shame and him living like a king in his Port Moresby and Australian castles.

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.

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

BLIND LEADING THE BLIND, WHY THE PNG ECONOMY STILL SUCKS

Image
Elizabeth Genia, Acting Governor Bank of PNG (BPNG) by MICHAEL JOSEPH PASSINGAN The economy of Papua New Guinea (PNG) is at a crucial juncture. Despite some signs of recovery, the country faces several structural challenges that continue to impede its economic progress. The March 2024 Monetary Policy Statement from the Bank of Papua New Guinea sheds light on these issues, providing a comprehensive overview of the economic landscape and the policy responses being implemented to navigate through these turbulent times. In 2023, PNG's economy grew by a modest 1.4%, a significant slowdown from the 5.2% growth witnessed in 2022. This tepid growth is largely attributed to delays in major projects and ongoing economic issues that have not been fully resolved. The anticipated growth for 2024 is around 3.0%, buoyed by the resumption of production at the Porgera gold mine. While this marks an improvement, it remains subdued compared to the potential of this resource-rich nation. One of the mo

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

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

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
