Die Wiedereröffnung der Pangunamine ist ganz alleine eine politische Entscheidung. Sie wird (glücklicherweise) weder von Pushern noch von Bashern auf Ariva beeinflusst.
Hier erklärt der neugewählte PNG PM O´Neill wie sich ein Klüngel von korrupten MP´s um den kranken Ex-PM Somare das PNG Parlament ge- "hijacked" hatten und Gelder in die eigene Tasche leiteten.Das könnte zum Teil erklären wo die für Bougainville bestimmten Finanzmittel abgeblieben sind.
Obwohl erst kurz im Amt will O´Neill jetzt massiv gegen die Korruption vorgehen u. den Rohstoffsektor PNG´s massiv ausbauen.Bis zu den nächsten regulären Parlamentswahlen in PNG bleiben ihm dazu noch ca. 10 Monate.Will er wiedergewählt werden,so MUSS er bis dahin Erfolge vorweisen können.

Standard headshot “CHAOS WAS NOT too far away,” prime minister Peter O’Neill has told a Brisbane business luncheon, reflecting on the parliamentary coup that grabbed the government of Papua New Guinea from Sir Michael Somare 38 days ago.
Echoing the rhetoric used by Julia Gillard in toppling Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd last year, Mr O’Neill said: “We changed the Somare-led government because it needed to be changed. That government lost focus on assertive and decisive political and government leadership.
“Worse, it lost focus on the nation’s budgeted national development and public investment programs.”
Mr O’Neill said that the “uncertainty” of the leadership of the acting prime minister Sam Abal had meant that “political instability crept in.”
And sounding like malfeasance was very new to PNG he observed “corruption and misappropriation of hundreds of millions of kina for budgeted national development and public investment programs became the order of the day.”
He claimed that “a small group of Ministers closely linked to Sir Michael … became reckless and did as they pleased in the Grand Chief’s prolonged absence on account of his illness.”
And, in an astonishing statement, Mr O’Neill claimed the government of PNG “had effectively been hijacked by this small group of ministers, who used and abused the serious illness of the then prime minister to subvert the parliamentary and cabinet processes and abuse public funds and property.”
We should now expect that these former ministers may face serious legal action in the near future.
Mr O’Neill added that he had to seize the reins of government “to save our nation from becoming the ‘dysfunctional blob’ that our friends from this side of the Coral Sea love to describe us [sic].”
He claimed that, while Sir Michael was away, there had been an “impasse” that was “undoubtedly starting to harm our national integrity, development and services delivery and importantly, investor confidence.”
He also boasted that the current government is “the most experienced and qualified, and broadly based and representative, government in our history as a nation” and that “early indications are that most Papua New Guineans are happy with the change of leadership and government.”
