https://dreamzmedia.wordpress.com/2014/06/20/the-curse-of-money-politics-in-png

Musings, Dreams and Chants. The curse of money politics in PNG. Generated a lot of comments at the original site at which it was posted. One of them touched on a key factor of politics in PNG. Money. That response comment to Vergil Narokobi’s post has been re-posted verbatim below for the benefit of the non-FB readership.

The Pilot Run | Hope Trek PNG

https://hopetrek.wordpress.com/the-pilot-run

Touching hearts and minds through books. I thought it was appropriate that I furnish a report on HT to my employers, not because I was bound by them to do so but because I felt obliged to enlighten them on the fact that this exercise also promotes the ideals and goals that they stand for. Plus I was late for work by a week so I had to justify myself :p. A condensed version of my report was posted on the PWM blog. Below is a slightly edited version (more like carbon copy :) of the original post. In additi...

Musings, Dreams and Chants. Why the Prime Minister has to step down. I cannot remember the last time I was here. It was certainly a long while back as I see the shelves here have been collecting dust. There were a few factors that led to this rather lengthy hiatus, but let’s not get into that now.
