Trouble in Paradise (in regards to Politics in PNG)

In the process of being updated last update 24 January 2012 - I may have to add more in here.

The Hibiscus flower grows in PNG
Only in the Land Of Unexpected Expect The Unexpected if that was someone else's original quote well I am sorry but I have no idea who first said that but I have just started saying it myself.  The country had gone in to a turmoil where there are two governments claiming to be the legimate governing government.  I am beyond comprehension as to why we have such people in parliament in modern day PNG.  On the outside I am laughing at these people but on the inside I am crying for my people and not necessary my kins men/women but for the whole country especially where our grass roots people are concerned.  A country described in the business world as a "Pot Of Gold Floating In A Barrel Of Oil."  The other issue is the PNG and Indonesia "Falcongate" incident.  The rest are other political stuff I wanted to share with  those who were not aware of the latest.

From the newest to the oldest dates from January 2012 to December 2011 click on the following links below from random news media links I had chosen.  This is for those who have lost track of what is going on over there like I have.

If you really want inside information on what is going on in the country then I recommend these Blogs I have subscribed to follow.  If any of you wish to contribute as to who you also follow and want to share it with others then just add it in the Comments section please.

At this stage there has not been a ban on tourists/visitors travelling to PNG (well not to my knowledge.)  I will update this Post if there are bans into the country.  Life goes on and as for our illiterate PNG people I am wondering if they understand what is going on.  Village life still continues as if time has stood still for some of them.  They are the lucky ones in some ways I suppose.

    1. It's a great place to learn more about the Kokoda Track especially for the kids. My kids also enjoyed the little playground while we had a cuppa at the cafe. Adventure Kokoda is a trekking company specialising in organising and leading treks across the Kokoda Trail in PNG. The company conducts battlefield treks and expeditions along the Kokoda track and is dedicated to the Kokoda spirit.Kokoda Track
