Source: The National,Tuesday 03rd April 2012

PRIME Minister Peter O’Neill has reassured Australian deputy opposition leader Julie Bishop that the general election will be held as scheduled in June.
Bishop is on an official visit to Papua New Guinea, accompanied by parliamentary colleagues from the Queensland state government. They are expected to visit Bougainville later.
O’Neill thanked AusAID and the Australian Defence Force for the administrative and logistical support they were providing on the election preparation.
On the sovereign wealth fund, O’Neill said parliament had passed legislation and that it was all encompassing to include management of returns from major resource projects in PNG and be accessible to consolidated revenue.
On issues relating to the Pacific, O’Neill expressed satisfaction about the new arrangements with the United States on the multilateral tuna treaty.
On the political situation in Fiji, O’Neill told Bishop that he had met with interim Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama late last year and had strongly urged him to remain committed to the 2014 deadline for parliamentary elections and to return Fiji to democratic rule.
On Bougainville, he said the government continued to remain engaged and had availed funding to the Autonomous Bougainville Government for the development of major infrastructure and was working to fully restore government services.
Bishop congratulated O’Neill for managing the country well under the current circumstances.

A LIAR is now the head of PNG - this is very scary.
Soon after Oneil became the PM, majority hailed and praised him, calling him PM for the grassroots and the head of "people's government". They proclaimed his action to topple the Somare gov't was divine intervention to prevent PNG from sinking.

Somare is corrupt and has stole from PNG's coffer, but Oneil-Namah government is worse then him.
Somare has broken some laws, but Oneil-Namah gov't broke the constitution and introduced bills that suit them.

To Somare's critics, are you still going to support the Oneil-Namah government?

Sori tru, no more democracy in png, just lost it on Easter.

Its time the people marched the people did what we have done in sanding and ther issues PNG rise unions should rise and I am sure they will Whether they control police or who ever it won't matter never did when we marched in sandlike and it won't now people must rise these 70 members are voted in they have no mandate past the date of April 27

Sanding? Sandlike?????? What the hell are you talking about?

Become educated before you start leading the pack, ok?

What are you getting so excited about? pngscape is a daily embarrassment lesson to the world about how uneducated the so called PNG educated elite actually is. The asians must drool in anticipation of getting to our shores and royally ripping us off (which they already do on a daily basis).

If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner.
Looking for an honest politician is like looking for an ethical burglar.
Blood suckers all.

:-)
