Many of the feminism theorists embark the importance of how one identifies its gender. Gender is usually identified and taught by parents. As the child grows, the environment and media also plays an immense role in self-recognition. At the beginning, gender is learned and imparted. As a child, caregivers decide the type of outfit one wears. Fancy skirts and shirts engraved by flowers, red, purple and yellow colours are chosen for girls while brown, black and blue pants and tops are purchased for boys. Boys are allowed to have toys like cars and guns while girls play around with baby dolls and balls. This aids a child in realising its stance and continues to grow with the understanding. When growing up, males are allowed to do manual work while girls are allowed to wash plates, sweep and provide care for little siblings.

Commentary By Petrus GAND PNG’s sagacious administration has continued in threading its operations, both through protocols and policies, and has housed a concrete foundation to steadily prosper in terms of an economic and political standpoint. Never had it been with other preceding governments, the Marape-Basil’s term has strictly unravelled life-saving strategies. The foremost step was taken to nationalize Porgera mine while having in place a gold-mint that became a new set of facets altogether. And it will eventually open-up new doors for tremendous opportunities to flood our shores when the international market gains normalcy. By Petrus Gand
It is the 21st century and yet our leaders are seemingly blind-folded. In recent years most of the government revenues have been spared on sports for a few minority. PNG even has a separate sports portfolio, accompanied by a specific Minister who is held responsible through its legislated powers. The nation’s budget is purposely allocated to facilitate its operations, just like any other imperative Ministry portfolios. Often it is observed that much of the state’s returns are exhausted to develop youngsters via sports, as well as establishing several sporting stadiums instead of hospitals, schools and other ‘enabling environment’ where people can partake and nurture their well-being. Countries that concentrate more on leisure activities are those that are overdeveloped, such as in the case of USA who was liberated in 1776, Australia our leading inspiration who was granted independence around 1906, and so on. They are economically sustainable and politically matured and that there is a natural tendency to amuse their citizens. Unlike PNG, since our sovereignty was born in 1975 where our politicians are imparted by corruption, resulting in limited long-term developments. By Petrus GAND Gratitudes to Susan Karike Huhume for her outsmarting precedency hailed when designing our national flag in 1971. It has reflected our national face throughout our political reign for decades. Certainly, our land is known by our allied neighbours as a land of a thousand tribes that dwells on an island of gold – floating on the sea of oil – inhaling the air of natural gasses. Indeed every spectacle of our values has been showcased via our flag but something is still hindering our progress despite our wealthy status. Therefore, there is an ominous vitality for a moment of clarity where we replicate on the root factor that is handicapping us. Statement by Dom David Kua The PNC party is very busy at this stage whilst making preparations to contest the National General Elections in 2022, just a little over 6 months away before the Writs are Open, where it intends to seek the mandate of the people to form the next government. As the Parliamentary Party Leader Hon Peter Oneil CMG MP has openly stated in his live Facebook telecast, that the PNC Party is focus on making reforms to party policies for its National Convention in February 2022. The PNC Party is therefore not interested in seeking to destabilise the current incumbent PMJM Government as insinuated by Facebook politicians, and keyboard warriors, self proclaim political pundits and wanabes. The Marabe - Basil government must continue to run and complete its term as it has won the right to do so. By Brian Folock A Politician who does not deliver is called Political Conman. There could be many political conmen found in Papua New Guinea so let's do a survey to establish the real political conman. Social Media like Facebook has brought about great flatform to identify these political conmen as whatever goes on in every corner of the country are known throughout the nation. There are between 800'000 to 1 million Social Media subscribers in the country. They come from every council ward, LLG, district, electorate or province posting developments happening within where they live. So when these subscribers post, we know who is performing and who is not. So those politicians not doing anything are the real Political Conmen. You can simply identify them and post their names too.

In the last couple of decades PNG’s political empire is noticed to have given ultimate authority to the mandated parliamentarians. Practically, we are progressing independently as a sovereign state with our Australian-British incorporated copy-paste constitution but it is obvious that it is still in its colonial form, exerting excessive power on the rulers. Though the social contract theory prevails when our rights are surrendered to our representatives when we cast votes during elections, they incapably oversee the necessity to act on behalf. As delegates of the voiceless, at most of the time, reports usually maintain that they utilize their succumbed power as a discretional weapon to secure their voters and protect their term and influence. Political Commentary by David Lepi Southern Highlands Province: Moral compass screwed up beyond repair I felt like a punch in the stomach as I watched with disdain the footage of the ousted Governor of Southern Highlands Province Mr. William Powi's attempt to justify why he should still remain in power at the post ruling press conference. Whilst he has every right to seek redress at the supreme court what baffles many is that he still could find the audacity to face the public after all he has done and the manner in which he usurped power was weighed, measured and found wanting. Staging the country's most abhorrent political coups ever and pretending it was nothing should be written in text books as a perfect example of inspiring disgust. Political Commentary by Samuel Raitano Fact number 1: When talking about UBS loan, no one in this country can explain why James Marape signed the instruments that Don Polye refused to sign. Only thing Marape can say for now is, "let the Commission of Inquiry complete its findings". I can confidently tell Papua New Guineans that Marape knew all along that people like Peter Botten, former Oil Search boss retired already and left the country so will not be turning up for the Inquiry. Yet he went ahead to fund the COI to fool Papua New Guineans that he is doing something to expose corruption. COI has come to a stand still. No one is implicated as yet. Not even former PM. You and I pay taxes in millions to fund this wild goose chase. The Papua New Guinea Office of the Electoral Boundaries Commission (EBC) has announced the proposal of 22 new electorates in 18 provinces across the country.
The proposed new electorates are based on the submissions obtained during the Public Consultations to the provinces carried out by EBC from the 4th-23rd of July 2021. Acting Commissioner for the Electoral Commission and Chairman of the Electoral Boundaries Commission, Simon Sinai said informing Papua New Guineans of the ‘Public Objections and Views of Proposed New Open Electorates’ is the second phase of the review for the 2021 review of electoral boundaries. |
