New dawn in medical history
On the eve of Papua New Guinea’s golden jubilee, a new chapter of national pride and medical excellence was written — one that deserves to be etched in the annals of our country’s history.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Dr Damien Hasola and his dedicated team for performing the first successful kidney transplant in Papua New Guinea, a groundbreaking achievement that signals a monumental leap forward in our healthcare capabilities.
This historic milestone is far more than a medical success; it is a bold and resounding message to every Papua New Guinean: we are capable.
It is a declaration that we must begin to decolonise the dependency mindset that has long hampered our confidence in local solutions. No longer should we look outward by default. This achievement proves that when we invest in our own people, infrastructure, and vision — we can deliver world-class outcomes.
The kidney transplant success is not only a beacon of hope for those suffering from chronic kidney disease but a powerful inspiration for the younger generation of Papua New Guineans. It ignites belief in the possibility of a future where local talent leads scientific discovery, innovation, and invention — one where we no longer import all our solutions, but rather export our innovations, research, and medical services to the world.
This is a clarion call for the Government of Papua New Guinea to make bold and strategic investments in health and education infrastructure, with a strong focus on scientific research and development.
The future of our nation depends on our ability to build systems that nurture homegrown brilliance — where breakthroughs like this become the rule, not the exception.
Beyond national pride, this achievement also opens doors to medical tourism.
The stark contrast in cost — up to K500,000 in Australia versus as low as K10,000 locally — positions Papua New Guinea as a highly competitive destination for affordable and quality medical care.
With sustained investment, this facility can evolve into a regional hub, delivering not just healthcare, but economic opportunity, global recognition, and local empowerment.
Let this moment be more than a celebration. Let it be the spark of a movement — to reclaim our capabilities, trust in our people, and build a future where science, innovation, and compassion thrive on our own soil.

First kidney transplant
It is encouraging news that PNG has done its first ever kidney transplant. We wish patient and families a successful outcome.
But while we do these “high end” surgeries what of the major killers in our nation? The diabetes, cervical cancer, malaria and TB. The figures in NCD are terrifying. Truly Amazing!
In South Australia the response to only 24 Cases of TB says a lot about their fear of the disease and their priorities. What can PNG learn from them ? This year the South Australian Government made an additional $15.2 million AUD investment to combat Tuberculosis (TB), on top of $1.9 million last year — a total of $17.1 million over two years in response to just 24 TB cases in the state’s Aboriginal communities. That’s roughly $725,000 AUD per person with TB. Now let’s consider Papua New Guinea, where over the same two-year period, about 90,000 people have been diagnosed with TB. If PNG were to invest at the same per-case rate as South Australia, we’d be talking about $65.25 billion AUD — yes, 65 billion dollars— to match that level of seriousness and commitment.
Of course, PNG is not South Australia. But the scale of the investment gap is staggering, and the human cost of inaction is far worse. TB is the leading infectious killer in PNG. TB devastates families, overwhelms hospitals, and weakens our workforce and economy. Despite this, donor funding is shrinking, and domestic investment remains far too low.
The South Australian model shows us what a government looks like when it takes TB elimination seriously. It acts swiftly, invests boldly, and protects its people. As we welcome Mr Wai our new Secretary for Health, the PNG government must reimagine its own TB response. At Businesses for Health Papua New Guinea we call on the government, private sector, and partners to commit to a national investment plan that will end TB.
Ending TB is possible. But only if we fund it like we mean it.
So, join our project and we will help you find, test, treat and get workers with TB back to work for practically nothing!
PNG. Yes We Can!

High cost of living in the city
I am compelled to reach out to you to express my profound frustration regarding the escalating cost of living in Port Moresby, while seeking your esteemed support in addressing this urgent issue that impacts many within our community.
As a dedicated security guard, I take immense pride in executing my responsibilities with diligence and unwavering commitment. However, the relentless financial burden imposed by soaring costs is increasingly rendering it arduous to meet even the most fundamental necessities of life.
Despite my steadfast efforts, my salary proves woefully inadequate to cover essential living expenses, placing me in a precarious position concerning housing. The housing allowance I currently receive, a mere K105.00, pales in comparison to the rental prices in Port Moresby, which have surged to an astonishing threefold that amount.
This overwhelming burden weighs heavily on my shoulders, and I am firmly convinced that with the support of organisations such as yours—alongside a collective call for governmental intervention—we can advocate for meaningful change that benefits countless workers enduring similar financial hardships. I respectfully implore you to lend your voice and influence in raising awareness of our plight and championing systemic reforms that would provide much-needed relief to individuals striving to make ends meet.
Any antiquated government calculation that serves as the basis for such an allowance is fundamentally flawed. The K105.00 may have sufficed in the past, but it is wholly inadequate in the present context. While K105.00 is a glaring instance of discrimination, it also reflects a profound neglect of those it affects.
I acknowledge that individuals with higher qualifications merit elevated salaries, including housing allowances. However, security personnel, janitors, and others in similar roles are also human beings and integral components of the system. One should not expect them to be treated as inconsequential, should one?
I sincerely appreciate your attention to this pressing matter. I eagerly anticipate your support in addressing the challenges faced by myself and many others within our community.
Warm regards, -SECURITY GUARD FOR LIFE
Unclean practice of betelnut chewing
Betelnut chewing in public places, and spitting in corners, rubbish drums, walls of buildings, along walkways, in flower beds, and out of moving buses or vehicles is a disgusting act that is seen every day in Port Moresby city.
If we want to promote healthy living, such practices must be outlawed.
Amazing Port Moresby will never be amazing if such acts continue in the capital city of the country.
And then, there is another serious matter that needs to be addressed as well.
It is the chewing of betelnut by people on duty, whether inside shops or by those in uniform.
Frankly speaking, I am surprised that most policemen on duty and travelling in police vehicles today are seen with red betelnut in their mouth, or betelnut-stained mouths.
It is worse today than it was five years ago.
Betelnut chewing by officers in uniform shows indiscipline. Period.
In the 1970s-1990s, no police officer ever chewed while on duty, particularly in the main centres, towns and cities.
Can the Police Commissioner and Police Minister address this issue?
Can they instruct their officers to stop chewing betelnut while they are on duty?
I am sure when they entered the force as recruits, they were well-taught in the police academy to be neat and clean.
And emphasis was made on chewing betelnut as well.
They should continue to be neat and clean while they are on duty.
Today, if you look around, you will see members of reputable security firms on duty, like G4S and Corps, also chew betelnut while they are on duty.
This was never seen a few years ago.
Additionally, private security guards of shops are also chewing and then spitting the juice near the front of their building or in a small box kept inside it.
This is very unhealthy and is a health hazard for their clients and their management should address that.
If a ban on betelnut chewing in public places is imposed, it does not deny people’s right to chew their favourite nut.
They can chew at home or in designated areas, not just anywhere.
We have to start cleaning up our streets and workplaces in our country.
Let us restore the image of the glory days of our main towns and cities, as was evident in the 1970s and 80s.
Professionals on the job should also lead the way: Stop chewing betelnut while on duty.
Show discipline.

Introducing civic education into our school curriculum
The time has come to focus on Civics Education as a cornerstone for shaping responsible, empowered citizens.
Our future depends on instilling values of accountability, integrity, and active participation, especially in the hearts of our young people.
Safe elections, accessible health and education, and anti-corruption are everyone’s business, and Civics Education is a powerful tool to ensure that we all play our part.
A Strategic Plan for Nationwide Civics Education
Engage and Educate: Civics Education must be accessible to everyone, emphasising core rights like fair elections, accountability, and public services. By integrating Civics into school curricula, community workshops, and digital platforms, we can reach communities across the country. Through partnerships with educators, civil society, and government, we can tailor this education to be culturally relevant and impactful.
Inspire Collective Responsibility
We must reinforce the idea that governance and accountability are shared responsibilities. Forums, social media campaigns, and youth mentorship programs can engage citizens actively in civic life. By highlighting civic-minded role models, we can encourage young people to step up as advocates for these values in their communities.
Empower Future Leaders
Our youth are at the heart of this mission. Programs like youth councils, project grants, and local internships in governance can engage them meaningfully. Training in public speaking, critical thinking, and ethical leadership will prepare them to become the effective, grounded leaders our nation needs.
Foster a Culture of Integrity
By embedding integrity and respect throughout education and community initiatives, we can build a national identity grounded in ethical standards. Through storytelling, historical lessons, and public campaigns, we can instill the importance of ethics and foster pride in responsible citizenship.
Collaborate for Sustainable Change
This vision requires a coalition of stakeholders—educators, policymakers, religious groups, businesses, and media. By presenting a united front, we can advocate for policy changes, secure government support, and build structures to ensure Civics Education’s long-term success.

CORRUPTION
Corruption in high places is on the lips of everyone in PNG – day in day out. Corruption among our top political leaders has reached breaking point.
These leaders are travelling at break neck speed to further their nest and anybody who stands in their way is trampled upon or eliminated fast and quick. Forgetting that they are also mortals.
To this end I have one or two observations to make.
First Church Leaders and Pastors can play a pivotal role in influencing the mindset of these political leaders. In doing so sounding the alarm against excesses and indulgence.
During their Sermons the Preacher man should talk and emphasise in detail about good and evil. The Priest/Pastor ought to relate the story of King Solomon .
King Solomon prayed and asked God to grant him “ wisdom “ so he can discern right from wrong.
But God Almighty not only granted King Solomon his wish but much more than that He also gave him wealth more than enough. In conclusion, everyone knows the terrible death of King Solomon.
A stark reminder to our folks at the Waigani Power House. PNG politicians take heed no one lives for ever except Papa God Anutu wanpla.

Reginald Renagi – Federal System
I believe the forces of Globalization and geopolitics may already be driving us in that direction of regionalization. Maybe, the country need to give more closer attention to strengthen governance oversight, and in establishing appropriate infrastructures for Economic Zone Authorities and Energy Grid and the Connect PNG initiatives
Regional system of government should be considered for PNG..our four regions, Islands, Southern, Highlands, and Northern, with regional governments, would not only take the pressure of Waigani, but bring government services closer to the people, with each region with their own police, CIS and even army base, to police their peoples and regional economies. Not a bad option, given the current centralized system of government we have now…it’s the 21st century and beyond, we have develop and change, to a system that suits us, that will work for us. This idea should be floated so we have it widely discussed..
Good idea Mr Pande, but wouldn’t that create regionalists in place of nationalists.
1. I reckon voting along party lines must be abolished. Every member of Parliament is a mandated leader whose first priority is his people not the party. W
Members should vote according to their conscience and the good of his people, not by the dictates of the party.That would also provide a check and balance against one member using the party to run his own agenda.
2. Go back to decentralization, give the power back to the provinces. Make the Public Service in waigani smaller, increase provincial departments using Hon Allan Bird’s Block grant model.
Works well for Brisbane City that is run by a Council not a provincial entity with a trillions dollar budget.
I read through all this, comments and then I thought it’s true some of the things we should do in orderly manner to do any work… So do the work or provide any service, do it for the best interest of the country..
CLRC made bold state statement at a ‘National Conference on Autonomy and Decentralization’ held at APEC haus, Port Morseby in 2022, and I quote: “We are not hunting for decentralisation. In fact, we settled that issue even before independence, not as an option but a necessity (Peasah, 1994). What we are hunting for now is the “best-fit – type or model” of decentralisation that suits us PNG. Thus, our decentralisation story from the 1940s to this National Conference is not about decentralisation itself but rather about a model than can work”.
In an organization three things would stand: its purpose, its credibility, and its operational rules and order of conduct and how things get done. In a population of people, these three things will stand: their will, their honour and dignity as a people, and their way of life for living and doing business.
If there is going to be national movement, who is going to lead and direct it? Is it going to be a political party, or the people, or the bank, or investors, traders and industries? Will there be a one national movement or will there be many? Are there already signs or migration patterns showing there are movements happening? What is PNG evolving to become? Feudalism, Dictatorship, Socialism, improved Democracy?
It is frustrating to see our big volume of native land or indigenous land is occupied by land law is unfair. That outdated land law has to be reviewed and amend new laws so that full rights can go to native land owners. Any foreign company wants to occupy that native land, landowner should have full power to settle land matters in the support to the government.
The State has made so many mistakes due to Land Issues. Currently the landowners are being given the runaround for so many years and there is a delay tactic done by the state itself, for instance the state does Compulsory Land Acquisition and then the Customary Landowners are not advised about this so when they go to enquire about how/ why the land is being used and by whom they are told to do a ILG to prove their land rights and there is another delay after that, later on some are even told to file their claims through Land Titles Commission ( Land Commission) when the Lands Department know very well there is NO current Commissioner available (for more then 12years) to do the hearing for these cases and claims are all still pending to this day awaiting for a Commissioner to be appointed and to date still vacant.
When will NEC or proper authorities appoint a Lands Commissioner to clear out the claims by Genuine Customary Landowners??
Also resettling settlers in the city NCD after being evicted without proper consultation to Customary Landowners and their Members elected is also a big issue!!
Why can’t these simple issues be solved in a professional manner with the proper People??
There seems to be too much of States own arrogant and selfish decisions without consultation or gazetting in the Newspapers for the people.

Pauline Hanson is right heed the call PM Albanese and act for the benefit of our country, PNG
SMEs must increase price’s because of the increasing of inflation through out the economical prices,the SMEs has establishing and promoting the business sales of speeding up the entrepreneur sales of business’s.It’s a concern to acknowledge the provision of business’s services to increase the prices of business’s all through out the nation. Increase in different taxes has urge to burden of the people to run and manage a business to accomplish the sales of the product.This has been put to a barrier and enclosing the concentration of business in terms of buying and selling.I suggested that, while inflation and increased in different taxes output,it must be fairly of increasing SMEs prices.
Need more empowerment on to The rural population where some agriculture development taking place.eg Simderby oil palm plantation at Silovuti, local SME not funding by government not accessible.
Post Courier,
I am an avid reader of your sports column, but lately your rugby league reporters’ level of elementary level English which deviates the structure and flow of thought leaves me with no option but turn over to our next daily. However, is there an editing team?
Thank you for releasing such facts. It seems the politicians are above all while tge people are neglected at all levels.
We need .ore criticisms so tgat light can start to go into dark areas in PNG
Just want to leave a comment on the Bad State of Kerema Hospital and the Governor of Gulf sees himself as a performing Governor to Cross the Floor of Parliament and stated his reasons to move over.
He was welcomed by Long term serving MP, Sir Puka Temu. I am not a supporter of the current PMJM and not even supporting his corrupt Government.
But my point is, what has happened to the PSIP Grants for Kerema and DSIP for Abau District over the years?
Abau District has some of the very poor road conditions which has been posted over the years by his people. And yesterdays PC, someone posted the poor state of Kerema Hospital with garbage pilled just at the back of the ward. What a big shame for the Governor who considers himself fit and has a concern for his people to move over and comment as if he is an action Governor.What a disgrace to himself. People of Gulf, use your head and elect someone who can deliver.
To cut down on unncesseary and wastage public service salary expenses, the areas to pay more attention is the employment of expatriate contract workers, especially at the lower end of the public service job market, scuh as teaching in tvet institutions. There are hundreds of expatriate contract teachers in tvet instituions who are doing the same work as national teahcers, but are very highly paid (10 times more than nationals).
Another area to look at is to reduce the salary, perks and privileges of 133 Members of Parliament by about 10%. This could create a savings of about a K1 billlion annually.
Another one is to restructure and amulgamate government departments and agencies who seem to carry out duplicate functions in order to cut down on operational costs.
And also freeze overseas recruitment of contract workers for some time, unless there is an acute need for specialists in medical, science and engineering professions, or professionals in higher education institutions, such as universities.
The Correctional Services, to make payments for the ex-service personals since than, the management systems of pensioners were poorly administered by the Correctional Services officers in the office,
Please think about the Ex-Service personal who contributed immensely to the development of this nation.
Government of the day must address all corruption practices now under the laws of God Almighty. With due respect to our PM we pray that God will help you to empower you to do away with corruption in this country first within the Government first.
Of course, inflation is very high and we are facing very difficult times but our leaders (Parliamentarians) were not seen the other side of the coin …All leaders, citizens, business partners, consultants etc..have been mentioned INFLATION/ INCREASING PRICE of GOODS AND SERVICES ..its all about demand vs. Supply so don’t..forget that INFLATION is here to stay with us. The prices of goods especially the food items will continue to increase or decrease generally, it depends entirely up on the actions and mind set of our very own people and our elected leaders.
Personal views are:
1. Our elected leaders should be providing the start-up capital to start agricultural activities especially agricultural farming tools & equipment, planting materials etc.
2. All unemployed citizens should be going home to our own home Districts to involve in agricultural activities.
3. Our local MP should be allocating some funds available for farmers to easily access through District Manager.
4. National Government should allocate more funds for Agricultural Extension and Training purposes through DAL, NARI, / other International Development Partners such as World Vision, etc.
5. Agriculture Minister responsible should find and arrange market for farmers to access.
Others like good road accessibility etc..but to conclude, main idea and solutions to inflation in our country is; we all Must go Home to dirty our fingers to grow our own food, it returns more income earnings, create self-employment opportunities, boost economic, create self wealth etc.
Uphold laws of the land.
The current state of our Government is inter-messed with cowardice, self-pity and dishonesty that is mechanizing pathways to greed and unjust.
I appeal to the current 49th Anniversary Government of the Independent State of Papua New Guinea that complacency and such instinctive behavior should reside and must start caring for the Nation.
Apart from the pros and cons based on the Government of the day deeds;
Strengthen the Educational Sector for Literacy Rate wise will reduce Law and Order issues and more importantly mean poverty level.
Moreover, embracing the Health Service Sector is the foundation for the growth and wellbeing of this Nation.
Furthermore, rehabilitation of Royal Constabulary/Defense with further Treaty engagements with respect to common wealth identities for the emphasis of law and order enforcement and the guidance of our sea’s and mountains border is essential for a though governance.
By considering building and strengthening the pillars of our Constitution through a steadfast foundation I believe this rich Nation will excell without ease.
Thankyou.

I agree with former MP Tom Amaiu’s call for a guided democracy for Papua New Guieana. Given the the state of escalating law and order problems as a result of fast phase of modernising a relatively last frontier of a third world country like PNG, a free democracy seems to be not workable.
Guided democracy will be more in line with our traditonal Melanesian way of maintaining law and order, in which everyone in their clans, tribes or comunities is bound by certain customary observations, practices, policies, guidelines and rules that they ought to abide by in order to live in harmony with one another. And many a time some of those traditonal policies and rules are very tough to impose on the offender(s). For instance, if you kill someone, it is tooth for a tooth and eye for an eye concept. That is why we see huge compensation demands and payback killings in some parts of the country.
In a traditonal sense, this is an unwritten law being applied on the offending party to get even with the grieving party. And through observation and understanding by society in general, it sort of deters them from commiting the same offense.
So guided democracy will be more consistant with our customary laws of settling issues traditionally.
My opinion:
Most citizens were talking about our elected members to the Parliament were inconfience and corruption etc. in public offices, I suggested that the office of Electrol Commission should set a policy in place regarding entry requirements for contesting in election.
1. Qualification -minimum Bachelor Degree any field
2. Police Clearance- No evidence of criminal offence in any case
3. Citizenship- No Daul Citizenship holders allowed
4. Former Employees- Terminated oficers/managers shouldn’t be contest
5. Religious Leaders – Priest/Pastors of any denominational groups must not contest
6. Others..
Note; Must be planning in advance..for the good of the country.
RE: READING CULTURE LACKING
I wholeheartedly agree with the author. Whether we like it or not, English remains the #1 Language for Education. It is evident that people who cannot arrange words to make complete sentences have good English grades on their certificates and make it to universities. How can we compete and participate internationally if we lack the medium of communication (English)? Our education system needs to capture strategies where teaching and learning of English effective. One strategy is enforcing reading culture as pointed out by Tony Kip.
Extortion of money at checkpoints is real and becoming a norm for police officers. It is not only done by the responsible ‘Traffic Unit’ of RPNGC but by all units or for that matter any one in police uniform.
The regular checks by police are good for public security. It must be done, however, in the true context of policing. Police hierarchy definitely needs to investigate for this seemed allegation which is actually happening.
One only has to live in the border region to understand why the good governor of WSP has done what he has done. It was done for a good reason. So, what has happened has happened. Let’s not cry over split milk. Forget about it and let’s move on – PNG, as a united nation.
I totally agree 💯 with this statement and I commend the for giving us the root of our Law and Order issues faced in our Nation’s Capital.
In addition, I propose that Head of State should be given the powers under state of emergency of National Importance of the Country’s interest base on the Judiciary advice to either dissolve Parliament and call for new election or power to dissolve the Government of the through the office of the Prime Minister to resign and election of new Prime Minister to be convened by himself with the assistance of Chief Justice and his officials to conduct the process.
Once this Article is very clear and very well articulated 🤜💯🙏.
God bless our beautiful country ❤️🙏🥲💔
In recent times, issues of national significance—spanning social, political, and economic domains—have been escalating under the current political leadership. Despite these pressing challenges, NGOs, watchdog organizations, unions, and tertiary student groups have remained conspicuously silent, failing to fulfill their roles as advocates for accountability and change. In stark contrast, the opposition has been actively and effectively executing its duties.
This collective silence raises a critical question: why do we, as a society, remain passive in the face of imminent and potentially worsening consequences? Our inaction not only enables the status quo but also jeopardizes the future stability and prosperity of our nation.

Why cannot politicians focus on their sworn tasks rather than playing games in the Courts? Do they do any real work?

With the NZ ginger market, yes, we considered this lucrative market, when I was with FPDA and we did arrange a trial export to NZ back in 2007. We exported the best rhizomes from Sogeri via air and got these onto several NZ supermarket shelves. Consumers reaction was great. Our ginger got sold out faster, than the Thai ginger which dominated NZ market at that time. Unfortunately, for our ginger, the landed cost was higher by NZ$2 and more. Thai ginger was also attractive as PNG ginger, but it had the comparative advantage of being cheaper by NZ$2. Another downside was that the PNG domestic ginger market price was at K9, equivalent to more than NZ$4 to NZ$5 at that time, thus pushing the overall landed cost high. The third downside is that the supply side was weak. Production was small and hence could not be able to meet the export market requirements of supply consistency in volume and quality. Given these factors, we considered that PNG was not ready to export ginger at that time and hence refrain from making a big fanfare about the potential.
I do not know if FPDA has been able to prepare farmers in Sogeri to reach a status of export readiness or not yet? I will not be surprised, if the taro and even the tumeric exports faces the same dilemma as ginger. Taro export, once attracted allot of media coverage and positive media comments, but I am not sure if the export of taro is still going on regularly? My piece of advice. Before making a great fanfare about export potential of emerging crops, PNG must first do a trial market run to verify the viability for export, before going to media. My honest opinion is, PNG food production is very much subsistence oriented and therefore cannot meet the rigors of the international export markets. Allot needs to be done by our respective agencies, than what is currently being undertaken, if we are to confidently venture into the export markets and stay there over a long haul.
About time the Quick Thoughts was refreshed with more recent thoughts.
Papua New Guinea stands at a pivotal crossroads, where the dual challenges of soaring unemployment and a burgeoning population converge to form a volatile and potentially destabilizing force. This dangerous mix is not merely a socioeconomic issue but a looming national crisis, one that fuels rising crime rates, deepens social inequality, and threatens to erode the fabric of law and order. With thousands of young people entering the job market annually, only to find limited opportunities, frustration and hopelessness are mounting across communities. The country teeters on the brink of widespread unrest unless immediate, strategic, and coordinated efforts are made. It is imperative that the government acknowledges this crisis as a matter of national urgency—one that demands bold leadership, inclusive development policies, and targeted investments in education, job creation, and infrastructure. The time to act is now, before this ticking time bomb explodes and sets the nation on a path that will be far more difficult to reverse.
Empowering Youth Through Purpose and Community Support
I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments expressed in the recent “Yu Tok” article on youth empowerment. When young people have a sense of purpose, feel they are part of something greater, and recognize their value within the community, their lives gain meaning, and they are more likely to thrive.
It’s crucial that we not only focus on providing employment opportunities but also on fostering environments where youths feel connected and purposeful. Church youth programs play a significant role in this regard, offering guidance, community, and a sense of belonging. Therefore, I believe the government should actively support these programs and consider implementing policies that recognize and bolster their impact.
By investing in both secular and faith-based youth initiatives, we can create a holistic approach to youth development, ensuring that all young people have the support and opportunities they need to contribute positively to our nation’s future.
