Diplomacy. People associate the word with foreign policy, international relations, economic ties and men and women in business attire, shaking hands, signing agreements and university degree holders.

Such an elaborate sounding word, when really it’s the simple art of negotiating. “I have something you want and you have something I want so let us sit down, have a chat and impress and try to woo each other!” and at the end of it the better negotiator will have the better end of the bargain.

Alternate Realities of ESM

Alternate realities. Two or more possible realities. Well that’s the way I choose to interpret it. The stuff that science fiction movies are made of. In this case we are talking about science (and a touch of economics) but these realities are a far cry from fiction.

Papua New Guinean student protestors and civil society are looking at their options after Prime Minister Peter O’Neill refused to get parliament to repeal the controversial Judicial Conduct Act.

Among the options being considered is a nationwide stopwork by workers in both the government and private sectors and sit-in protests by students at PNG's main universities in Port Moresby, Lae, Goroka, Madang and Rabaul.

Hats off to the students of the University of Papua New Guinea who on Friday showed their disagreement on the new Judicial Conduct Bill.

They marched down the street of Port Moresby to the parliament house and presented their petition to Secretary Manasupe Zurenuoc as Papua New Guineans expressed their support through mobile phone messages that flooded the students phones.

The new bill gives government the power to suspend judges.
