April Nostalgia

On 30 Apr, 2012 By Klaireh

Goodbye April 2012, we shall miss you- there will never be another April 2012 (thank goodness)!

Take a deep breath now Papua New Guinea…nine months is a long time to be lugging around a weight that seems to grow ever heavier with each passing day. Nine months since we somehow, whether we like it or not conceived the O’Namah government, that has been our burden to bear. Only we can change this burden come June 23^rd and hopefully the next government we bear is a lighter, more compliant burden then this current one.

Whose Law is it anyway?

O’arise all you children of this land…otherwise *bai yu kisim pen!

Sound familiar? In our uniquely Papua New Guinean way, law is something that we learn (more like taught to us) at a very early stage in our lives. We are taught the boundaries of acceptable behavior almost from the moment we are aware and can decide our actions.

Holey Ground

On 27 Mar, 2012 By Klaireh

Yesterday I felt a tremendous sense of pride and maybe a little relief while observing the University of Papua New Guinea Student Representative Council (SRC) Executives give their statements to the press. We can breathe a little easier folks-it looks like the next generation will be getting a better deal when it comes to ‘LEADERS’, because that’s what these young men and women are handling themselves like ‘LEADERS’.
