Short and sweet

From BERNARD OBERLEUTER in Brisbane, Australia

English first - (for the local media)  then Tokpisin for the pictures and story to go to PNG.
I'm working on a draft story and will send it to you later.

Dictator Somare ignores PNG Constitution

(Diktetor Somare)

PNG Parliament suspended by Somare

(Somare tok Maski Palamen)

PNG Government corrupt

(Bulsit Gavaman bilong Somare)

PNG Democracy for sale - going price 2m

(Somare baim paua - usim moni bilong yumi)


It was suggested that we use a heading like:

Somare Pamuks PNG Constitution

Somare Prostitutes PNG Constitution

Can somebody, anybody give us some background on the slush fund handout saga and recently the gravy train to bolster numbers to parliament recess until November 2009?
We need to investigate where the funds are coming from and are they tied to rural projects or for the individual politicians.
These were some of the topics discussed last night amongst some like-minded expatriate PNG'S in Australia.

    Itok, nau mi lukim ples klia,
    bai mi baim ol lain,
    Na stap longpela taim,

    and I wonder what PNG Church leaders might say about their PM who likens himself to a god?
