Today we are besieged. The so called elites in power who do the bidding of the pirates that control our resources are fast selling PNG off, neither protecting nor promoting PNG interests.

So it’s the end of another eventful week in Papua New Guinea. It seems scandal has made a new home here! From the wonderfully talented but somewhat confused environmentalist that works for a Canadian mining company (tsk tsk tsk-kids these days!) to the gifted far throwing politicians that can pitch a lot of mud all the while being bogged down in it.
