PNG CURSED WITH BIASED SPEAKERS


by PAUL AMATIO

 LIKE JEFFREY NAPE BEFORE, JOB POMAT IS CREATING A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS

I would ask everyone to consider these facts for a moment. If you can properly and logically look at the way this happened, it is a simple question of numbers on the floor. Nothing else. All MPs have let their feet show us how they stand. At this point we can try to influence and make them reconsider. But they control their own legs (and minds).

We should look at the facts before us on exactly how events transpired and make our assessments based on these facts.

1. The decision made by the acting Speaker to adjourn parliament on 13 Nov was done in accordance with legal advice from the Clerk of Parliament.

2. The notice to adjourn parliament to the 01st of December was moved without objection.

3. Not a single MP (government or opposition) opposed or objected to this motion. They ALL supported the adjournment to 01 Dec. 

4. In a parliamentary democracy like ours, when any bill is blocked in parliament by the opposition, it is a clear sign of no confidence in he PM or one of his ministers. A "vote of confidence" is undertaken to determine if he has the mandate to continue in office and prove that he has the mandate of parliament (support of the majority of MPs).

5. The hide and seek game played by Marape and Speaker Pomat speaks volumes about their confidence and characters. Indeed it says that they knew they did not have the mandate. The actions are despicable and bring contempt to the House of the People.

6. If all the MPs present in the house on 13 November voted for the 01 December date, how can the Speaker then say the decision was not proper when NOT A SINGLE MP OPPOSED IT?

7. Whether the issue was proper or not, Job Pomat should have allowed Parliament to reconvene on 01 Dec where he could then have pointed out the flaws (if any), stated the correct procedure, and allowed the government to prove that it still had the mandate of the people through their elected representatives to govern by tabling the 2021 Budget and moving it. 

8. The actions of the Speaker Job POMAT have now precipitated a potential Constitutional Crisis and we are all sick of this childish stupidity by grown arsed men who can't think beyond their own pockets about the ramifications of their actions on the country. This is not your little fish pond in Manus you are playing with. The whole population of this country needs to have a mandated government in place so that we can see the deliverance of government services.

9. The Speaker also failed to take into account the various court cases before the Supreme Court. Based on the initial results yesterday, the final ruling may make the whole situation after 13 Nov one of no consequence and a new Prime Minister may be installed well before April 2021.

10. Additionally, the Speaker should have known that the numbers required to pass any bill is over half the number of seats in parliament. This definition is clearly stated in the Constitution. Why then did he allow the budget to be passed with less than that?

11. And finally, did the adjournment of Parliament to April 2021 take into account the total number of days parliament is required by law to convene within one year?

12. If this country goes through another Constitutional Crisis, then the blame must be parked squarely at the feet of this biased Speaker. His actions alone created it.

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.

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

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

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
