My heart bleeds for this nation of Papua New Guinea. I am an Australian citizen but I was born in PNG when is was a Territory of Australia before independence in 1971. I remember as a very small boy being part of the celebrations of independence in 1971. I remember the dancing, the marching of the police and defence forces. I felt so proud to be part of it. My parents as a Missionary teacher and Nurse, sacrificed so much for nation and for the people of PNG. My family has no regrets.
I returned to PNG two years ago after 37 years and have followed and watched and looked at social media, png news and as much about things PNG as I can.
I want to share about the frog. If you place it in a sauce pan of cold water and start to boil it. It will boil to death. It won’t jump out.
The things I have seen happening in Papua New Guinea in regard to violence are beyond comprehension and are getting worse every day.
However there seems to be no this is the final straw. When do you as a nation draw the line.
Recently Sir Julius Chan passed away and the Nation was in mourning and gave him a farewell of honour and deep respect. As any nation should.
When is Papua New Guinea going to have a deep mourning period for the victims, losses, and violence that is raging. And I mean it.Its raging!!!!
When the utmost respect PNG is heading to celebrate 50 years of Independence. Are the leaders that blind!!!!
You are heading to not have a country at all, by the way things are going.
Seriously PNG should be a Mecca for tourism it is so absolutely beautiful. But I couldn’t recommend my two grown daughters to visit.
PNG please change so I can one day so to them, yes go it’s one of the safest places in the world.
