I too have an excellent chance of getting very very rich if Peter O'Neill remains as PM for another 5 years. That is why I am 100% in support of him. I know he will do whatever he needs to do to buy off enough MPs to remain PM after the election. And certainly his electorate will return him to office.

What about Polye and Namah??????

The both have fair chances of returning. A coalition between them is possible provided the history and political ties Engans and Sepiks had during NA era.

I hope they join hands. Together they could literally drain the PNG treasury to zero for their personal pockets.

And lets not forget that the world's gay people are rejoicing that PNG has a gay deputy prime minister. We cannot let those people down, we must make sure Beldon Namah stays in power.

The contest will be between O'Neill, Polye and Namah - these are the three. Keep your eye on the dark horse, Namah. He's the best recruiter in PNG politics at the moment. If peter isnt careful namah will take the seat. But both peter and namah will be working hard to stay close to polye as he could be the match maker in the next round. Peter's advantage is that he's more trust worthy than namah who comes across as being very unpredictable. You could be namah's treasurer one day and sand boy the next, so to speak.

No, the only way to become PM is to have a kitty of at least K50 million (in 2007, Somare had K40 million) and simply buy off enough MPs to get elected. You sillies who are acting like becoming PM entails something other than bribery are little more than fools.

George Constantinou Jr, is also a strong supporter of O'Neill. They're best drinking buddies. I think you'll find the business houses tend to support whoever is PM at the time. They follow a similar slogan to our friends at foreign affairs, "Friends to all, enemies to none!"

Congratulations to George Jr on becoming a billionaire!

Becoming PM is all about who buys the most loyalty.

The only way you can get that kind of money is either steal it direct from the government treasury or have some big kongkong sugar daddy, like Somare did with Rimbunan Hijau (evil chinese malaysians).

Where are the true Political leaders of PNG

April 15 2012, 3:38 PM 

The possible PM candidates mentioned so far, good luck should they survive or return to be PM contestants.

The list mentioned so far, mannh these are not leaders in the true sence of the word.
but DOGS instead........you lie down with them and you surely.........will end up with fleas.

Iam betting my uncle's unwashed, grille covered testicles that PNG is doomed & there is no way out so long as we have the caliber of leaders thus mentioned so far in this thread.

Maybe after a period of 30 to 100 years from now (when most of us are dead and dusty) that is when the general population is advanced intellectually via education then TRUE MEN & WOMEN will emerge to see this nation forward. oh by the way, by then I dont think, there will be much resources or treasury left by then as most of the wealth of this nation will have been pillaged already and controlled by the descendents of the above mentioned lot.

You see my brothers and sisters we are the fortunate elites having internet to discuss or post our comments but try go and live in the rural areas where the masses are and see how gullible they are.............the big pollies with their back up machinery use them for their own ends and return with laughter back to their crime scene (National politics/Parliament/Urban lights)to continue the rot which has now manifests into a 5 yearly business cycle.

I agree with you. Wingti has the potential to be as corrupt as O'Neill or Somare. He has the money to buy the loyalty of MPs to form the next government. It cost Somare K40 million in bribes to form the last government. I reckon Wingti can handle that amount of money and more. He's a sneaky fellow, just like O'Neill, but wit hmore money. I also think Wingti can pull it off and become the next PM.

Re: Next PM not on the list.

Yes, I agree with you. Not only does he have enough money to buy votes, the money AND skills to bribe electoral officials to switch, lose, or add votes, and finally, money enough to buy the loyalties of enough MPs to become PM.

True enough. Wingti definitely has what it takes.

One question though-if he spends as much time in Australia as he has his last term in office, how can he serve also as PM. Conference video calls, maybe?

Re: Next PM not in this line up

All the people named so far all have the means and resource to become PM. But the question is, do they have the brain to be good PMs and guide this ship in the right direction. The leaders that display some signs of hope for what we should expect from future MPs include;
1. Sam Basil (top of the List - Doesn't care about who or what - fights for his people),
2. Pawas Pakop,
3. Charles Abel,
4. Peter O'neil, (bit of gray area there but he's promising as a Prime Minister and so far he seems better than the ones before him)
5. Dame Carol Kidu (Unfortunatley retiring but she has her intergrity, which all others should be learning from)
6. James Marape
7. and a few others.

But this is just my opinion and may differ from anyone elses. And justy adding to a comment above, should Paias Wingti be re elected in 2012, he may become the PM.

Cheers,

Do you really want Poyle to get the most highest post in this country?? my opion on Polye is,he is very good leader,he can able to manage 1/3rd of this country but not all of PNG,Just imagine how Somare treated him because he no confident in him,O'niel strip Finace portfolio off from Mr.Polye because he has not confidenace in him running both finance and treasury,Somare gave him Deputy PM and strip him off,Oniel the same,there is really some thing but he pretended to be straight and showing people that nothing has happened..guys it's not me going against Poyle but I assume there must be some wrong with Polye as most Senior and experience poloticians in this country and kicked him around.. I have no trust or confident that Poyle will get the highest post in this country..Probablyu Somare may but just he his is too old and few of his candidates are start loosing the seat starting in ESP..

PNG a Milking Cow

April 16 2012, 12:45 PM 

Has anyone heard of a report that PNG is a milking cow for pollies, public servants, CEO of SOE, etc?

These people are investing our money overseas in pretext of investing for the institution they work for and they own the properties for themselves.

There was example of one of these which came out on Monday 16th April 2012 Post Courier, a copy of this is attached below.

New MVIL Board recoup only K9m

By TODAGIA KELOLA

THE new Board of the Motor Vehicle Insurance Limited (MVIL) was able to recoup only K9 million out of the K100 million that it invested in Australia.
Chairman of the Board Bonny Igime in a statement said out of the fraudulent K100 million investment that the MVIL made with Woodlawn Capital Ltd of Lismore, NSW Australia was executed on July 22, 2009, my Board has manage to recoup only K9,187, 260 back into PNG. The money is now with the Gadens Lawyers Trust Account in Port Moresby waiting to be remitted back into MVIL.
“When the Government of Prime Minister Peter O’Neill appointed me as Chairman of MVIL I assured the nation that I will vigorously pursue the K100 million being siphoned off into Australia and bring it back into PNG. The money rightly belongs to the 7 million people of this country, who own MVIL through the government, and the people have the right to know what has happened to their money.” He said.
In late February this year Mr Igime took the Board and management to Australia and met with the executives of Woodlawn Capital Ltd in Brisbane. “We asked Woodlawn executives where they kept the money and what is the current net asset value (NAV) of the investment. Woodlawn kept evading our questions and came up with an excuse that a substantial amount of MVIL investment was lost during the global financial crisis a few years ago. We didn’t buy into their argument. We suspected that something was seriously wrong with the investment and that we must independently investigate and find out soon. Coincidently, at about the same time the former CEO of MVIL John Mua called me on numerous occasions and begged me not to bring the money back to PNG. He said the money was safe in Australia and that MVIL has a lot of liquid cash sitting in the banks in Port Moresby and does not need the K100 million. That’s when my sensitive nature tells me that something is seriously wrong with the investment and we must investigate.”
The Board engaged Gadens Lawyers in Sydney and Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) accounting firm to conduct a thorough investigation into all the accounts of Woodlawn Capital in Australia and ascertain the net asset value of the investment. With our instructions Gadens Lawyers successfully obtained an interlocutory order in the New South Wales Supreme Court thus freezing all the accounts of Woodlawn. The Supreme Court order effectively froze all the accounts of Woodlawn being kept by various financial institutions in Australia.
He said their forensic accountants conducted an audit into the frozen accounts and uncovered AUS$24 million being kept in those accounts, which is equivalent to K50 million. The K50 million plus the K9 million already brought into the country amounted to K59 million. The question is, what happen to the balance of K41 million?
The investigations have uncovered a shocking truth that Woodlawn Capital at the time it received the money from MVIL was not licenced to conduct business as a financial investment company. Woodlawn did not hold a valid Financial Services License (FSL) under the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC). This is indeed a serious crime under the Australian laws. ASIC is the Australian government watchdog that regulates, monitors and oversees all financial and investment activities in Australia. The K100 million investment was a fraudulent transaction between the executives of MVIL and Woodlawn with the intent to defraud MVIL because Woodlawn was not licensed to receive the money at the time.
The investigations have uncovered another shocking truth that some people were using the K100 million like a petty cash. Numerous unexplained withdrawals were made on the K100 million over the entire period of the investment from July 2009 to as recent as January 2012.
For instance, the following withdrawals were made on MVIL accounts in Australia in 2011 and early 2012.
BANK ACCOUNT NO. DATE CURRENCY WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT
Westpac 467559 5/5/2011 AU$ 1,500,000
Westpac 467559 30/6/2011 AU$ 2,000,000
Westpac 467567 8/7/2011 AU$ 300,000
Westpac 467559 14/7/2011 AU$ 300,000
Westpac 467567 14/7/2011 AU$ 300,000
Westpac 467559 16/8/2011 AU$ 3,000,000
Suncorp Ref 4157414 15/9/2011 PGK 24,872,335
Westpac 467559 21/9/2011 AU$ 1,000,000
Westpac 467559 27/9/2011 AU$ 1,197,540
Westpac 467559 14/11/2011 AU$ 227,000
Westpac 467559 13/1/2012 AU$ 440,142
According to correspondences between the executives of MVIL and Woodlawn we have uncovered that the former CEO of MVIL John Mua was the only authorized representative of MVIL who can authorize or instruct Woodlawn for any transactions to be conducted on the accounts in Australia. And therefore, I am calling on John Mua to come out and tell the Government and the people of PNG about the irregular and unexplained withdrawals made on the K100 million being kept by Woodlawn. Our lawyers and forensic accountants are following the money trail and we will get to the bottom of the missing K41 million and the nation will know about it.

ONEILL'S GREATEST CHALLENGE AS PM

September 1 2012, 4:27 AM 

PETER ONEILL’S GREATEST CHALLENGE AS PRIME MINISTER OF PNG.

Our moments of triumph on the Olympic stage have not been many, so full marks to our Toea Wisil for her recent triumph on track and field. We have had our moments over the last 37 years in the regional sporting events like the Commonwealth Games, the Arafura Games, the South Pacific and the Mini South Pacific Games, but Wisil’s qualifying run was something special. Its significance will be held in our collective memories for a long time, as her personal triumph is part of history as a nation.

In an Olympic year, we are once again contemplating playing host to the next South Pacific Games and the government (especially the previous ONeill-Namah political Leadership) has not been serious about what is and what ought to have been a matter of priority and pride to prepare necessary infrastructure for the event. The nation is about to face its moment of truth on the regional and international stage but we are way behind in our preparations, and so far treated this event as a political afterthought. Our lack of preparations must necessarily be viewed as a measure of our own awareness and pride in ourselves. It is a measure of the way we have gone off-course in terms of focussing our people and our leaders on matters other than that of national interest and national importance. It is a measure of the way we have lost our way as a nation, preoccupied with politics, the demands of enclave type developments like the LNG, and forgotten about being a country, about nationhood, and about what the national interest requires of us. It is a measure of the way we have lost our own sovereignty in favour of serving others’ interests, including personal interests.

We are about to reveal once again for all to see what we have been about for the last 37 years, at least since the last time we hosted the Games here. At least we had a Sir Anthony Siaguru to lead us out with a committee of equally talented people, showcased and acquitted well of the nation they represented. Oh how the red gold and black fluttered in the steady South-Westerly, and our hearts were instantaneously lifted to greater heights of exuberance, as our athletes triumphed. We could believe once again in ourselves, and the social contract we signed in 1975 to be one nation, one people and one country. And oh how we triumphed then, hauling in more gold silver and bronze than ever before, or since! Every Kiwai, Tolai, Highlander, Wopa, Siwai, Orokaiva, Orokolo, Sol and Tasi walked out of that stadium, proud, and rightfully so. We savoured those precious few shared moments of triumph with tears streaming down our faces. We looked at each other wide eyed and teary faced, and we laughed tears of joy and elation, and gently swayed to the fading strands of John Wong’s voice “Papua New Guinea… one people, one country...”as we walked out, confident and sure of ourselves.

We knew we will always be one people, a people cast together by history, a people held together by our ancient agrarian ways, thrust almost prematurely into the limelight of 21st Century to sink or swim, live or die. Together we chose life. And but whilst the odds were always staked against us, and some called us stone aged primitives, while others whispered,”… they won’t make it...”, it is in rare moments of sporting triumph like this, pitted against their best, on a clear sky blue days and on level playing fields, we have come together and asserted resoundingly that we have arrived on the world’s centre stage!

We have asserted that we are an ancient people, a strong people, the largest nation in the Pacific Islands and the land link between the tiger economies of Asia and the Pacific. We are the pre-historic home of Melanesia. We are a serious people, and we shall be taken seriously by our other Melanesian, Polynesian and Micronesian neighbours. Whether they like it or not, whether they like our way of doing things or not, we are here and we will assert ourselves, and assert we did at that and every other SP Game since.

Who would have predicted how we would turn out as a nation and a people in 1973 when we were granted Self Government so hurriedly by the Gorton/Whitlam Governments of Canberra?

In the early 70s on the occasion of a South Pacific Commission Meeting held in the capital of one of our Polynesian countries, the Paramount Chief of the Chimbu people, and he may as well have been the Paramount Chief of all the Highlanders, because he was a tall towering and imposing Simbu, who stood as tall as the mountains, and firm as his native rock of Elimbari, stood up and spoke. Whenever he spoke in his native setting, his dozen wives and multitudes upon multitudes of tribes men far and near came and drank of his words in utter silence, words that echoed like a thousand waterfalls and flowed seamlessly like the Waghi, giving life to a deeply farrowed land. But this time, his solemn maiden Chiefly address to the South Pacific Commission in tok pisin was openly mocked. Perhaps it was because of his earnest but equally farrowed facial features. Perhaps it was because he didn’t understand a word of English and could not speak any. Even perhaps it was because they couldn’t understand him at all with his typical highlands big-manly animations. He did look like someone out of the stone-age, but his heart was earnest and his composure sure and demeanour true. Notwithstanding, he felt the mocking laughter deeply, like the bitter stings of a thousand wasps buzzing around his head. He couldn’t speak English. Realizing, from the laughter and the polite nods that he had just become the laughing stock of the Pacific, and realizing he carried with him not only the pride of the Narengu tribe of Chimbu, but also the pride of history of his fathers and that of the then Territories of Papua and New Guinea he represented, Kondom Agaunduo slowly raised his hand as if to brush the wafting wasps away, allowed the laughter to subside, and spoke in slow deliberate pisin and uttered those famous lines… ” yupela harim ah! Nau mi kam long hia na toktok na yupela lap long mi. Em I orait. Tomoro bai mi salim ol pikinini bilong mi i kam. Taim ol I kam, bai yupela ino nap lap long ol! “ With that he sat down, and never spoke again.

Paramount Chief Kondom Agaunduo now lies in silent repose in his village on the side of the Highway named after an equally imposing political force of the Simbu people. Kondom was a man before his time. He was a Chief and Luluai, a cultural hero who brought progress to Chimbu in the early colonial period. He was the first Simbu coffee grower, father of the Chimbu Coffee Cooperative, Member of the District Advisory Council, Observer to the First Legislative Council in Port Moresby. Before his premature death from a car accident, he was truly a pioneer who craved education and progress for his people so that they could meet or match the whiteman, a man without pigs, on his own terms, and triumph. He was resolute and uncompromising in this cause. His leadership, punctuated by long eloquent speeches, was impeccable. There was no ounce of self interest in his cause. His cause was that of every Chimbu to advance.

Our few moments of triumph on the sporting fields have been shared together, as highlanders, Momases, NGIs and Papuans- groupings that came as we tried to define ourselves along our natural geographic regions. Yet these groupings sit very un-comfortably with our own assertion and notion as one people and one nation. Today we have indeed become one people and one nation naturally in a way we could never have openly predicted-with complex intermarriages. Even when corporate greed threatened to blow us apart, and it did for many years for thousands on Bougainville, one man, a soldier and a national hero from Karkar Island, stood up and defied all odds to put a stop to the blood bath that was about to unfold, and held us together. He underwent a period of self-examination and self-assessment for some time, and after all that was done, he stood up, and he stood by the oath he took before God and man to protect the Constitution, his nation, his people in Bougainville and on the mainland. He realized in time that if he didn’t stand up, he would by his conduct have revoked the Constitutional framework that held us together as a people, and cut adrift the people of Bougainville. He defied vulgar political direction and greedy corporate puppetry from outside. When Jerry Singirok triumphed personally over the evil that was about to be served, a chalice of blood, a slaughter that appeared inevitable, the whole nation triumphed. We all exhaled in great shared relief! Whew!

Many a child who was born in the 1980s, educated to feel equally eloquent and masters of their own destiny, deserving of a great future in this country, find themselves having to invariably come to terms with political legacies and historical events like Bougainville, constantly nagging at them with them having to ask themselves this question- what was all that about? The mothers of Bougainville, who survived, who suffered through loss of their own sons, daughters and husbands, are still asking that very question to this day.

While the fallen soldiers were draped in the red black and gold, the fallen in Bougainville lie scattered all over those islands of sorrow, and their spirits still wander unrequited. Deep down, every mother in Bougainville still ask, why did the nation turn its guns on our sons? Why did Bougainville become the Islands of sorrow? Can we as a nation triumph together in sporting fields like the coming SP Games and in other spheres if we do not deal with Bougainville, look at our brother in the eye and honestly feel the same blood pulsating through our veins?

How can we explain Bougainville to our children that they, as intelligent human beings with inquisitive minds, can make sense of it? How can the fatherless and the motherless children of Bougainville who also struggle daily with their permanent condition be consoled? And how do they further explain it to their children?

We cannot explain Bougainville, the shedding of innocent blood, the birthing of an Island of orphans and widows, in any other way than the sense of corporate greed, and blatant disregard for human lives and the rights of human beings by so called civilized nations, acting secretively through off-balance sheet black ops operatives. No one has gone behind the scenes to expose the people behind the people in Sandline. Faceless men in glass steel and concrete towers in faraway lands, powerful governments and their operatives, use money and influence and do deals and sign papers that instantaneously spill the blood innocent people all over the world. It was the South Americas yesterday, and today it is the Middle-East, with Africa the ongoing playground of those who want to pawn off the lives of the starving innocent using contentions of old tribal rifts and religious differences as convenient divisive tools. The death of the cold war has spawned new wars, wars that relate directly to control and exploitation of scarce resources and energy fields that will see the rise and re-ordering of civilisation as we know.

While those who conceived Sandline have long melted into the shadows, governments involved quickly cut off connections, wiped the paper trail and electronic footprints leading to their doorsteps, shredded the papers and claimed both ignorance and innocence; the Queen sits with a solemn smile on her throne in England, while the Kangaroos still graze peacefully on the brown meadows of Australia. Long gone are the sounds of machine guns and echoes of the cries of children looking for their mothers. Today, they come with bundles of Aid money to “help” the people of Bougainville. It’s the re-building and restoration program that they in their magnanimous generosity bestow on Bougainville that comes, but not necessarily without strings. How wonderfully generous the help is to us with roads that may one day carry our copper and gold out again, and ports that may see ships bearing all manner of colours once more berth, but let us not even contemplate that for now.

For now, having put up his hand for Sumkar and lost to an Australian Naturalized citizen, Jerry Singirok, sits back on his Island home to contemplate and take stock of his gains and losses, his friends and his foes, especially those who pretended to be friends but were really against him. He savours the sting of deception, like that of a thousand urchins. No war would have prepared him for this public admonition and rejection. In the 2012 elections, more so than ever before, the Australian Defence and intelligence played a very heavy hand, and made no secret about the fact of who Canberra wants installed as the new Prime Minister. Jerry Singirok of all people was in a better position to know and understand what was really at stake. He also knows how during the Commission of Inquiry into Sandline, he, along with several other public servants, were made public scapegoats by powerful people and powerful governments behind Sandline, to wipe their own footprints, as they melted into the dark.

On the 2nd of August 2011, Australia engineered the disposal of Somare while he was in Hospital. They used ONeill’s ambition, Nape’s greed and Namah’s stupidity to bludgeon Somare. Then when the courts were called upon to intervene by a Supreme Court Reference, Julia Gillard used a political bulldozer to smash down the gates of our Judicial system and our Constitution, by openly recognizing Peter ONeill as Prime Minister! She pre-empted the Supreme Court, the sole arbiter under the Constitution to deal with the then pending question of legitimacy of Peter ONeill as Prime Minister.

Australia has always advocated the importance of the rule of law, and the importance of having an independent judiciary as the backstop of our democracy in Papua New Guinea. Except on this occasion Australia threw all that out the window. When it suited Australia’s strategic economic and political purposes, even the ideals of rule of law, governance, transparency, accountability and principles of democratic government were readily flushed down the toilet by Australia. Gillard used her High Commissioner, Ian Kemish, tons of money, and the full swag of intelligence tools at her disposal, including the complicity of the Post Courier, to push for Peter ONeill, however constitutionally illegitimate that was.

Australia was instrumental in the smashing of the Constitution and the judiciary of Papua New Guinea, the two most important institutions that birthed this nation and gave it its soul, its sacred sanctity and sovereignty, and its separate identity as a separate people and a separate nation in the South Pacific. The judiciary is the watchdog that guards the Constitution. The Constitution is like a vial that contains the essential DNA of Papua New Guinea, the largest nation of Melanesian people on God’s earth. If you destroy the Constitution and its watch dog, you destroy a nation, and the rest becomes history.

Prior to and during the elections, Australia moved its people into key positions within the Electoral Commission, and even brought in its military and SAS veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan to run a separate communications and operations capability parallel to the PNG security forces. All this was done to ensure one result- Peter ONeill to form the next government. Immediately after ONeill was declared winner of the Ialibu-Pangia seat by beating his nearest rival by 45,000 votes, Ian Kemish moved a whole company of Australian Army specialists into the Airways Hotel where ONeill team was holed up, as a show of alliance, and as a Personal VIP Protective Unit in full combat gear, against anything that ONeill’s brother Belden Namah would throw. It was an open show of strength. The Australian Army under Gillard moved huge amounts of firearms into PNG and into the Airways Hotel on secret Australian Airforce Fights. They made sure ONeill knew he was under the Australian army protection, and that he owed his rather “unusual landslide election win” to them.

It was a job well done for Ian Kemish, who unlike any other High Commissioner before him, was prepared to get his hands dirty, and do some of the work himself. As a diplomat, he has trod where even angels wouldn’t dare. What a brave man this Ian Kemish is, for he has successfully and almost singlehandedly displayed the full length and breadth of the power of Australia over Papua New Guinea politics. He has shown other diplomats in almost resounding terms, who owns this country! And for this he would have earned a long and well deserved holiday somewhere in Europe, and for sure almost endless career possibilities with the Commonwealth. It was a job well done in any one’s language.

Somare and other elder statesmen have played the only card they could play under the circumstances. But their card no longer carries any personal ambitions. They have been there and done that. There is no anger or resentment left in Chan, Somare or even Wingti. They have measured ambitions, which involve issues of what form or shape of legacy will they all and each leave for this nation. How will they be remembered after they pass? Each one of them has had a by-pass operation. Each is living on time that has been graciously extended to them. And each of them has known what it is like to have and hold power, exercise power, and what a heady thing that is!

The real issue for Somare Chan and Wingti, and others of the elder Statesmen around ONeill , is how much of the love for the RED GOLD & BLACK can they impart to Peter ONeill and get him away from the charms of money, wealth, fame and more fortune promised to him by those who now like cicadas whisper incessantly into his ears. To be sure, Papua New Guineans know the deals O’Neill has done over the years. We also know his various businesses that are run openly and under other people’s names. We also know of his associations with the likes of young George Constantinou, Rod Mitchell and the Cragnolinis. We know the straight and the crooked deals he made over the years, just as we know the deeds of others around him. We also know of the political deals he has done with Australia in return for political recognition after the 2nd of August 2011 bludgeoning of Somare.

The real question is, does he have what it takes, and can he stand up for the RED GOLD & BLACK? Or will he be just another good native?

The signs are already fairly ominous of a sell-out job done by Peter ONeill. It already appears he has sold his soul to Julia Gillard. He needs these next 18 months to prove to the rest of us that he is a true nationalist, that the genes of his native mother will always outweigh those of his Irish Father, that he will rise to be a better Prime Minister, and better at negotiating competing interests and triumphing over those who want to turn him and his office into their own Post Office Box. He has 18 months to show us that he is the Prime Minister of PNG and not Julia Gillard’s rubber stamp of Australian cross-interests in this country. He will have to do better than he has done so far to show us that our lives and our resources are safe from the marauding corporate raiders who are crowding his social calendar even now.

He has to demonstrate that the mothers of Bougainville who lost their sons fighting for their land and resources have not died in vain. He has to show us that the blood of the innocent spilled on Bougainville was for a cause of equal worth, and that indeed he will use this term of Prime Minister-ship to initiate a ministry of healing of the nation., to reconcile us as brother to brother, that our blood can flow through our veins once again from one heartbeat. He has to, like Jerry Singirok did, honour the oath he took before God and man under our Constitution to protect our people and the national interest. Peter ONeill must know what the national interest calls for in every case, and must summon the courage like Singirok did, and honour the national interest in everything confronting the nation today, not just in respect of Bougainville, although Bougainville ought to be high priority on our nation’s list of “unfinished business”.

ONeill has the challenge to define our separate path as a people and as a nation, not to allow us to disintegrate into a dependant economic basket case. He has to ensure we do not become an enclave of resource extraction, leaving behind polluted oceans and scarred landscapes, of an equally scarred and soul-less people, helpless, confused and poverty stricken, devoid of any real idea of who we are and where we are headed.

For Somare, who signed the First Project Agreement for Bougainville and for Chan who signed to spill blood, the healing of Bougainville will be a fitting closure, for the past to be properly buried, and for the future to be welcomed together. For without properly dealing with these matters, this matter of “unfinished business”, we can never wipe the sorrow from the Islands of Bougainville; we will not have served the national interest, and we cannot go on the world stage as a complete whole.

Is Peter ONeill one of the sons that the great Simbu Chief Kondom Agaunduo spoke of in his maiden speech to the SPC, or is he just another ‘yes’ man for the Australians, doing their bidding so that he can increase his own barns, while the rest of the country starve? Does Peter ONeill have the smarts of a modern education and business acumen to really serve the national interest, or will be just another drunken politician, pandering to his mates, and the sharks and vultures already circling around and above the nation looking to extract our resources and leave us bare?

Toea Wisil’s triumph was really our triumph indeed as a people. The idea that this Highlands lass could dare to burst through all manner of human impediments, the chains of time and history, the insurmountable social religious and cultural prejudices, to stamp her mark on a premier world qualifying event is remarkable when you consider that in the early 1930s as Sydney Harbour Bridge was being opened, the world didn’t even know then that highlanders like the people of Ialibu-Pangia ever existed in the interior of this country. With every TV stations bearing down on her, Wisil gave the world a rare insight into what we as a people, this ancient Melanesian primordial odyssey have birthed, and what is to come! While the nation prepares to host the next South Pacific Games, one wonders whether we will be proud to cheer our red black and gold, or will we die of complacency, indifference, and simply fizzle into nothingness? The real question again is, does Peter ONeill – the man from Ialibu-Pangia, another young highlander like Wisil, possess the skill, courage, mental, intellectual and moral fortitude to rise to the call of the nation, to lift the pride of this nation high and assert our position as a Melanesian people. Does he have what it takes to not only give us cause to celebrate and showcase our nation in the coming games, but show those sharks and vultures that circle him; that he is a nationalist, that this is the land of an ancient and free people, a people of pride, strength and culture and he will serve the national interest above all else? That we will not be bought or sold for political or economic convenience? That the birth place of the Melanesian nations- the heart and soul of Melanesia is not for sale?

These questions are only for Peter O’Neill to answer, and prove his personal mettle. If he fails and sells us cheap to the Australian and other interests, (as there are many signs already that he will fail us), then that will be his legacy, and his only. If he becomes the convenient conduit to allow Australians to crush our heart and soul as a people, then this nation will never forgive him, future generations will not forgive him, and all the labour of our forefathers and the fathers of our Constitution have laboured in vain.

This alone remains Peter O’Neill’s greatest challenge as Prime Minister today, as the wolves are no longer at the gates huffing and puffing, they are in his living room, in and under his bed, and at his table.

It is therefore incumbent on other leaders to also stand up for this nation, just as the former Governor for Morobe did, to rule a line in the sand, and tell the hordes that prey on our people and their Leaders, to stay outside the line, and clarify their wish lists. Australia has proven that it cannot be trusted to secure our Constitution, our Judiciary and our democracy according to principles of rule of law. Australia has proven its ability to openly manipulate our politics and our institutions to serve its own interests. Australia is only here to serve its economic and strategic interests, and we cannot blame it for that, as long as our leaders wake up from their deep slumber and protect our own National Interests.

Our Laws and our Constitution, and our Parliamentary system was adopted from England. We must not lose sight of our own origins both as a people and as a modern nation State. Peter ONeill has the advantage of the wise Counsel of Somare, Chan and Wingti at his disposal. Somare for issues relating to national identity as a modern Melanesian State, Chan and Wingti to help define and chart the economic course that serves the overall strategic national interest s of this country. Those with wish lists in bed with ONeill must be made to define and measure them against clearly stated interests of the nation. If these interests are not defined, and made subservient to the national interests by our young Leaders like ONeill, then the wolves will definitely eat us. Before we realize what is going on, ONeill will have successfully sold our people and the national interest down the river, and he will have sailed into the sunset with his gains, and we will be left to ponder what really went wrong as we struggle as a soul-less nation to live with the manacles of economic slavery, control and poverty he placed us under. God forbid that this should happen!

I can't think of better evidence why PNG is in the toilet, including being one of the world's most corrupt countries, than to use your posting to show the world. Heaps of actual documents that very strongly supports Powes Parkop as being the 'kickback boy' have surfaced on the internet. Parkop himself has even appeared briefly on pngblogs.com to give what is widely considered to be a very weak rebuttal. Yet, you list him as PM material. Go figure.

Then there's Don Poyle, the indisputed Grand Plagiarist (he actually rried to get away with submitting the entire NA constitution, word for word, as the constitution for his own political party. Also author of what has got to be one of the most childish political party names in PNG history. (T.H.E. party, what the hell does T.H.E. stand for.... Triumph Heritage Empowerment party???? What the hell does Triumph Heritage Empowerment mean???????). Well documented to have given illegal hushup monies to a former UPNG Vice Chancellor, and yet another one of those pollies who have become mysteriously rich during the time they were being paid by our tax monies to serve the public interest, not their own.

Yet, you, Analyst friend, thinks that Polye too is PM material!

Remarkable. Truly remarkable.

I would agree with you on
Bire Kimisopa 75%
Don Polye 25%
Powes Parkop No rating; because he is just a thief and is continuing to steal NCDC funds
by dubious and contemptuous means. He is not a leader material

Anyone like Arthur who managed to hide and lose nearly K100 million in Motor Vehicle Insurance funds in the fly by night investor operation at Woodlawn (it all points to Arthur, especially the location in Australia where the funds are deposited - where he and one of the other Somare kids went to school). Anyone who can steal money at those levels most certainly can buy his way into the prime ministership. Only the most corrupt become PM in PNG these days. I think Arthur Somare has more than a fighting chance to win.

We'll conveniently forget that he's currently before a Leadership Tribunal. AFter all, we PNGs don't really care whether our pollies are corrupt or not, all we care about is whether they're from our tribe or whether we have a chance to get rich if they get into power.

There's only one small problem that shoots holes in your complaint - the documents that are on 1millionideas.info are genuine. Even Parkop never disputed that the audit figures in the report that came out a few months back were, in fact, the actual audit figures. And those audit figures are damning. They indicate that Powes should actually be called Powes 'Kickback' Parkop.

Firstly, you are not anticorruption, you faceless creature. You're for hiding corruption.

Second, worry about the message rather than the messenger. 1millionideas.info is faceless for a reason - in PNG, when you're a whistleblower against corruption, chances are if the corrupt find out who you are you get beat up or worse.

Facts are facts. The 1millionideas.info website contains actual documents. No one from Parkop's camp has contested the authenticity of these documents. Those who know Parkop's writing can see it clearly on at least one of the documents.

Powes Parkop briefly came onto pngblogs.com to defend himself against the allegations. He wouldn't deal with specifics but instead tried to defend himself by saying all the things he had done to help NCDC (anyone going to POM will see that he hasn't even fixed the roads like his propaganda machine is always saying).

Parkop knows how to use the internet. He comes on these sites and reads what is posted against him. He has every opportunity to defend himself. Yet after that disastrous first attempt, he has run away and won't come back to answer the allegations.

Now if that kind of behaviour doesn't imply guilt, I don't know what does!

Bire Kimisopa As PM

May 25 2012, 4:35 PM 

I am suprised that Analyst is scavenging through the relics of our political museum to resurrect Mr Kimisopa. Whilst I am reserved because Goroka is notoriously conservative and has a reputation for not returning former members.

But the recent announcement by Bart Philemon that the New Generation Party has recruited Mr Kimisopa is an indication that Bart will hand the baton to Bire. Bart is not a strategist nor a leader in every sense of the word. However, he is a man of principle and an astute person, with impeccable credentials.

My guess is that, if Bire can break the Goroka open seat hodoo and return the second time, I am sure he will be in the hot seat and will definitely raise his hands up for the PM's job.

Mr Kimisopa has the qualifications and credentials to lead PNG.is over qualified for the job - he has the neessary credentials to lead this country. One way is character check. Check the bank accounts of each PM candidate prior to their election as MP and during their term as MP's and verify how much they have amassed for themselves.

PNG cannot afford to be lead by selfserving leaders but servant leaders. Mr Kimisopa is a servant leader.

Now its over for the electors of Goroka to make deliberate choices for the best interest of the nation in this coming elections.

Ipatas as next PM??? not possible

May 15 2012, 10:15 AM 

In my personal view, Hon Governor Pita Ipatas would not make it up to next PM after the General Election. It would be a dream to claim it. During the last political turmoil, he did not do it well yet created a lot of divisions. We from Wapenamada would not take it easy as he nominated the current Governor General for GG Seat and defeated our Tribesman and well respected leader and former state minister Sir Pato Kakaraya as he was about to make it through as next Governor General.

If Hon Pita Ipatas has supported Sir Pato Kakaraya, then we would have Acting PM, Chief Justice, clerk of Parliament and the Governor General who are all Engans. Is this a not good thing for Engans?

Secondly, to secure a PM seat is all about mathematics. To be elected as PM, it requires 60-70 elected PM which includes the two new established provinces for the coming election of PM.

So Party with only 4 MPs currently would not be possible as it requires more number of MPs to get support. Please do not mislead the Engans.

May be the current MP for Kandep Open, Hon Don Polye would make it. If he does it, good luck.

We from Wapenamada would not take it easy as he nominated the current Governor General for GG Seat and defeated our Tribesman and well respected leader and former state minister Sir Pato Kakaraya as he was about to make it through as next Governor General.

If Hon Pita Ipatas has supported Sir Pato Kakaraya, then we would have Acting PM, Chief Justice, clerk of Parliament and the Governor General who are all Engans. Is this a not good thing for Engans?

Secondly, to secure a PM seat is all about mathematics. To be elected as PM, it requires 60-70 elected PM which includes the two new established Hella and Jiwaka provinces for the coming election of PM.

So Party with only 4 MPs currently would not be possible as it requires more number of MPs to get support. Please do not mislead the Engans.

May be the current MP for Kandep Open, Hon Don Polye would make it. If he does it, good luck.

Why is Paias Wingti still being considered and discussed here? Because he is still the heavyweight contender in PNG politics.

Paias is the long-awaited - 'we want you back' sort of guy that will send everyone running for their money.

He is storming home in a big way. Whether you like him or not is irrelevant.

He packs so much power, attraction and charisma unlike any of the 109 currently occupying the House.

I say it again, Paias is rare kind. He is winning in a very big way. People are now hungry for real leadership, leaders who actually lead their people.

Paias is still young and energetic. No doubt he will win.

WINGTI WILL BE NEXT PM

May 19 2012, 9:35 PM 

All the politicians ESPECIALLY the highlands MP's have become brief case carriers and water boys for the Somare regime. Even Polye is a toothless dummy waiting in vain for the Grand Chief to hand him the leadership on a golden play - for goodness sake, Sir Michael has a son called Authur and Polye expected the old man to give him the leadership?? what a retard .... All MP's lacked leadership and followed the Somare regime like blue flies when a tin fish is opened. Then chaos took over and O'Niel and Namah landed on the top seats ...all MP's followed again like blue flies (INCLUDING POLYE)....the Highlands Block is missing a true leader who can play real politics and give the Somare regime a run for his money - only Wingti turned the tables on the old man a couple of times and mark my words WINGTI WILL COME BACK AND DO IT AGAIN !!! We have too many so called yoyo and girlie girlie MP's now - Wingti is not contesting for the WHP Governors seat ...he's past that stage....He will be the next PM ...mark my words. Now love it or lump it but thats whats gonna happen.

Mate I think the brother has a point. Even if he is hallucinating, he's got a bit of brains compared to you. That's exactly what happened. MPs get in and spend time thinking of how to get rich and as a result the rich few manipulate them and are running this country to the dogs. The highlands MPs are a disgrace - fighting over leadership of Somares NA party etc. There is a lack of a real leader in the highlands region.

Re: Ipatas as next PM??? not possible

A PM seat is NOT only about mathematics. More than that, it's about money. Somare had to pay K1 million each to 40 MPs to get enough support to form his government. This year it will be much much higher price to get the support of any MP who's not already in your party.


Nobody can become PM today without selling their souls to the devil and corruptly finding enough money to buy the support they need to become PM. Sad but true. It is now impossible in PNG to have a PM who is not corrupt and that means PNG will sink even further in the corruption index of TI.

Since people like you purposely overlook the corruption factor in how our PMs gain power, may I suggest that people like you are partly responsible for the mess that we're in today.

Highlands MP's

May 23 2012, 3:29 AM 

Even Wingti was a briefcase carrier for the sepik somare back when Wingti first got in, until he finally woke up and decided to grab PNG's top job hahaha. It's sad but true aye all the current mps (higlands that is) are briefcase carriers, and a good majority of them could be PM after elections. However the fact that they all want to be PM is the only thing holding them back, they really do need a real leader with the capability to tame their pride and rally them all together for the same cause, but you know how it is with highlanders and their pride, its a very big ask!!!haha that's why they are all bought of so easily, because their pride gets in the way. and because they know they will never get enough of the Highlands mps together they start selling themselves like prostitutes to the nambis MP's like Belden hahaha, who is actully captilising on the discord among the highlands bloc hahah. Even though the higlanders may be be big, tough and very vocal they are stilled being outwitted and controlled by the nambis especially the crocs haha old and young mind you hahaha.

Everybody wants to become PM

It seems like we are living in a dream world. What the heck, shake up, wake up and get real. Why do we have the record number of political parties in the world? It is because every Dick, Tom and Harry wants to be PM. This is a Joke!!

It's good to have only two political parties and only 2 PM candidates run for the post and get the people vote for them.

Who Is Front Runner for PM?

July 12 2012, 5:11 PM 

It is a well attested fact that the national elections has failed. The next step is that everything else will work towards reinstating those who are hell bent on being PM.

PNG, take it or leave it, despite all our "hell, fire, and brimstone" sermonizing belittling this dimunitive midget from Pangia, Peter O'Neil is the front runner for the PM's job.

Peter O'Neill's success is evidence of our reputation as a people

July 22 2012, 10:06 AM 

Exactly. He's our nationa's second Grand Thief, but unlike Somare, even has an indictment to prove it.

Should we consider this a great accomplishment and salute him in the streets that he's better at buying votes than anyone else?

Should we close our eyes to HOW he's going to remain PM and instead just look at the bottom line?

Our inability to set high standards for those we elect to represent us is evidence enough of our own low standards and ethics as a people.

How does it feel to be earning a reputation as a people who would sell their own mother to the devil if the price was right?

How does it feel for the honest people of PNG to have a reputation as cowards, as people who refuse to stand up and do what it takes to fight evil?

Don covets the PM's job with a passion. Somare is no fool and had deliberately overlooked him on many ocassions from 2002 - 20010.

Peter O'Neil is a definite front runner. Don and Belden have not fared well so they will have to tow the line to keep the politial marriage intact.

An independent may end up being Deputy PM.

Peter O'Neil Cements PM's Position

July 23 2012, 11:34 PM 

Peter O'Neill has cemented his position to be the PM - 9th Parliament of PNG.

He is clearly projected to rule with others who trust his leadership.

People's Progress Party is set to join PNC and others to form the government.

Sir Julius Chan has been misled and tricked by Somare for many years - by not giving the New Ireland Provincial Goverrment's rightful dues from the mineral resources of Lihir Mine.

O'Neill delivered that to Sir Julius. Peter O'Neill replicated the same in Western Province.
No wonder the PNC party won all the three (3) electorates in the Western Province. Stamp of Confidence there.

He stands heads and shoulders above Polye, Namah and the old man.

The guy is articulate, he is decisive and has made some smart and good decisions for the overall good of Papua New Guinea - not some partisan interests like Somare and even Mekere did.

Not everyone is squeaky-clean but I take my cap off for a no-nonsense leader who moved fast to set up Task Force Sweep and is serious in cleaning the rot that has been prevalent in the Somare era.

Re: Peter O'Neil Cements PM's Position

O'Neill isn't even in the same universe as those who aren't quite squeaky clean. He's totally corrupt, willing to pay and bribe his way to power.

Hitler was also a no nonsense leader and North Korea's leader is too. Why is that you criteria for admiring this thug?

Julius Chan has always been a crook, which caused the original parting of ways between him and Somare.

Ahhh the task force. Glad you brought it up. Haven't you noticed something? Not one person has gone to jail under the task force. It was all for show. The government could have issued a warrant to bring Wartoto back to PNG but they won't do it because the task force was basically a way to fool gullible people like you! None of them will end up being prosecuted and sent to jail. It was just done as a warning. Most get to keep their millions. Look at Paul Tientsen.

Wingti's win in WHP seat will add flavour to the formation of the new government

July 24 2012, 12:27 PM 


I personally believe that O'Neil is likely to form the next government but there are some simple homework he has to accomplete successfully before realising his dream of becoming the PM for 2012. This is base solely on the number of PNC candidates that has won seats in the 2012 national elections recently.

However, O'Neil's position in forming the government is 60% possible. There are 40% possibilities that other collision parties can form the next given too.

This is likely given the following analysis:

1. Polye, though has less number than 0'Neil has put his hands up for the Chief Executive Officer's Post. Polye is taking momentum is influencing other elected MPs as well as minor political parties.

2. There is a possibility that when Polye's THE party alligns with the Old Man National Aliance, polye is likely to have greater influence and the form the government. Why?? Some of the National Alliance Candidates are contesting under the Independent group of parties, also National Alliance have other minor collision parties like the People united Assembly (PUA) under the leadership of Anderson Agiru Pawa, now elected the first Governor for new Hela Province. He is a very intelligent and smart political strategist.

3. Nemah's PNG party may not go well with Oneil PNC Party so is most likely to allign with Somare and Polye's THE party.

4. Given that Oneil only have his sitting MPs and the nominated candidates and never get enough independents and MPs from other minor political parties then, ONeil may not have the number to muster the top post.

5. Once again Anderson Agiru and Peter Ipatas are very cunning and political maneuvers and will not allow ONeil to become the PM because they are two senior MPs that have aaspirations for the post. I believe, they may have 6 to 8 MPs combined toghter to offer to the collision government apart from ONEIL. This because the Highlands brothers were once faithful to Somare but during the downfall of the old man, everyone ran away for greener pastures and to enjoy comfort zones while Agiru and Ipatas were very faithful and maintained their integrity with the old man in his terrible times.

6. Yet, these two highlands brothers while work around the clock to align with the independence and the national alliance and old Somare to form the next government.

Given that if this eventuate, PPP headed by Sir Julias Chan will join in so to comfort the old man and ensure he restires graciously.

Also, another interesting political event that PNG is expected to observe is when the WHP seat is declare Pais Wingti as the dully elected governor. The formation of the next government will be quite interesting. The fact is that the formation of the O'Neil Nemah government was engineered by Pais Wingti, though he was not a member of parliament nor was physically present in the parliament. O'Neil is Pais Wingti's small boy and Pais was directing ONEIL since the formation of the ONeil-Nemah government last year.

Prove and evidence: The PDM Party leader Michael Ogio was instructed to become the governor general as soon as Oneil became the Prime Minister in August 2nd 2011.

So lets wait for the few remaining days and see what the political events that will be unfolded then.

The nationalist.

The cards are already laid out. O'Neil will woo those he thinks will help him make more money. Wingiti will be the master mind behind putting together this new government because O'Neil owes Wingiti one favour and this is Wingiti's moment to further cement his authority in PNG politics.

So much for politicians and their visions and dreams for PNG. Another 5 years of rot and shame to come our way again???
