Historic day for #PNG. And game over for China’s manoeuvring in the security space in the country.

@miqurlkabuni What a waste of time, energy and resources. At a time when people are struggling too. And don’t forget the court cases. With another one on the way.

7th attempt at vote of no confidence in PNG! Since February 2024: 🧵 1. 3 Prime Minister nominees challenged Marape 2. 6 Notice for Vote of No Confidence (VONC) rejected 3. 1 Notice for VONC accepted 4. 1 VONC vote taken and incumbent PM defeated the VONC

Fijian journos no longer intimidated by former “minister for everything” Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum who’s speaking after Bainimarama’s jail sentence. One asks him “why are you being so defensive”. 😂

Bainimarama and Qiliho escorted out. Qiliho tightly handled by Police who usher him in the right direction. Bainimarama behind him with Police officers following. Both are quickly ushered into the waiting van which speeds off. What a moment to witness! And I have witnessed many!

Former Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama in hand cuffs being led out of the Suva High Court today to make his way to Korovou Prison where he will serve his 1 year sentence. #FijiNews #Fiji

@liamfoxabc Heard the younger MPs within the party pushed against this name unsuccessfully. Such a terrible name!

Wisely chose not to call themselves the Coalition for Unity and National Transformation. Also, Sogavare is not putting his hand up for another stint as PM.

Hi @MNailatikau, could you pls follow me so I can DM you about a story I’m working on? Cheers

Whoa. Big news. fijivillage.com/news/Bainimara…

Court docs reveal that Mei Lin, charged with smuggling 71.5 kg meth from PNG to Australia, had $10,000 sent to an account belonging to PNG's then-Chief Migration Officer to facilitate a codefendant's visa. CMO denies any knowledge. occrp.org/en/daily/18483…

Some comedy gold out of #PNG parliament. Marape calls the opposition “cowards and imbeciles”. Namah objects, but only to the cowards bit.

To me, this always reads like those fishermen tales of the one that got away. Astounding amount of money earned but where does it all end up? Look at how we live in PNG. Struggle struggle.

United Party (UP) leader Hon. Peter Kenilorea Junior wows to reevaluate the China Security Pact with Solomon Islands if his party takes on the next government.

I pointed out the need 2b mindful of the RFMF's recent history in the development of security partnerships recently at @USIP. To save face, Col. Naliva shud w/draw command in good faith w/ the ADF. Due diligence spectacularly lacking on Fiji side also - an embarrassment. #FijiPol

It's great to be back in wonderful Papua New Guinea. My family and I have treasured memories about our times here. I can’t wait to be part again of this vibrant and enduring relationship with our closest neighbour and to re-connect with old friends and make new ones.
