O’Neill tribunal reprieve National Court stops tribunal for now while Supreme Court considers constitutional queries over PM’s referral

BY ADRIAN MATHIAS PRIME Minister Peter O’Neill has put off the leadership tribunal from beginning inquiry into allegations of misconduct in office against him.

In the National Court yesterday, he successfully referred an application of provisions of constitutional laws relating to his referral by the Public Prosecutor to the Supreme Court.

This means the tribunal has been temporarily halted until the Supreme Court rules on the constitutional issues.

The tribunal comprises retired New Zealand judge Sir Peter Blanchard (chairman) and members retired Australian Federal Court judge John von Boussa and Justice Salatiel Lenalia who were appointed last November 27 to inquire into the alleged misconduct against the PM. Justice David Cannings yesterday also granted Mr O’Neill an interim injunction restraining the Public Prosecutor from bringing or continuing proceedings in the misconduct claim.

Justice must prevail in Pisimi case I

T HAS been over a week since the tragic shooting of Lae resident and young mother Moanna Pisimi.

She died from a heavy loss of blood after being shot in the head as she drove away from a security company truck and police who were both in hot pursuit, of what they suspected was a stolen vehicle driven by criminals.

Her death has triggered a wave of criticism and condemnation of the Lae police and their handling of the incident in the country’s second largest city. The public outcry compelled the Lae Metropolitan Superintendent Iven Lakatani to come out recently defending the actions of his officers in the lead-up to the tragedy. Lae’s top cop has refused to accept charges that his men were responsible for the death of the woman and reiterated that only a coronial inquest can clear the air.

Sadly, a week after the death of the woman, authorities on the ground (including the police) do not appear to be making progress in terms of finding the perpetrators. There is now a danger of the case falling off the radar for those in authority and not given the urgency that it deserves due to the seriousness of the crime.

The delay by the Lae police to make progress on this particular case will only frustrate ordinary Papua New Guineans and result in more criticism of the constabulary.

Criticism of the Royal PNG Constabulary, which has a proud history dating back to World War II, is at its lowest than ever before. Ironically, the Lae police have a chance to redeem themselves in the eyes of the public by making a concerted effort to investigate and identify the killer or killers who fired the shots which led to the death of the woman.

The announcement by the Police Commissioner recently to get Port Moresby-based detectives despatched to Lae to begin the investigations should be fast-tracked. The commissioner should get the investigations underway as any further delays will be detrimental to the constabulary and its reputation.

The suggestion by Mr Lakatani for a coronial inquest to establish the cause of death should be seriously considered. The benefits of a coronial inquest is that it is independent of the government (including the constabulary) and it could look at the police handling of the matter in the lead-up to the shooting incident.

The policing methods that our policemen and women employ in their strive to protect lives and property and maintain order continues to be called into question. The increasing loss of lives following police intervention is becoming a big concern for Papua New Guineans. They continue to appeal to the RPNGC top brass to address and put an end to extrajudicial killings at the hands of police officers.

With the recent terror attacks in the French capital Paris, Papua New Guineans took to social media yesterday to highlight the ability of French authorities to take in two suspects some 12 hours after the shooting. They did an analysis of the prompt action by the French authorities in comparison to the efforts of the PNG police in the Moanna Pisimi case, and it does not look good from a PNG perspective. It is time to change attitudes and culture within the constabulary.

The heartbeat of PNG

Power state of emergency illegal THE declaration of a state of emergency to deal with commercial issues is unconstitutional and illegal, says Sinasina-Yongomugl MP Kerenga Kua. “It suggests that the Government has run out of proper strategies to deal with the issues surrounding PNG Power,” Mr Kua said in a statement yesterday.

Mr Kua, a lawyer by profession, said the move to declare a state of emergency on electricity services was the wrong solution.

He said the powers given under the Constitution for the declaration of a state of emergency only applies in times of great national crisis or emergency due to war, very serious civil disturbances such as organised attacks on many government offices, or natural disaster, such as famine, earthquake or fire.

“None of the commercial issues faced by PNG Power satisfy the basic criteria upon which a state of emergency can be declared. The existence of massive debts accruing in favour of PNG Power and the illegal connection of electricity do not constitute proper constitutional grounds for which an SOE can be declared,” Kua said.

However, Public Enterprise

SINASINA-YONGOMUGL MP Kerenga Kua says the declaration of the state of emergency is illegal. and State Investment Minister Ben Micah said the state of emergency was specifically targeting essential services like power and does not infringe on the constitutional rights of the people.

“All the right processes have been followed to make the declaration of the SOE and the people have nothing to worry about unless to are doing the wrong thing,” Mr Micah said.

He said the Essential Services Act provides for Cabinet to declare a state of emergency on essential services like power, water and transport.

He said the grounds for the

state of emergency are the financial difficulties and illegal use of power, which are affecting the overall supply of electricity to the majority of people.

He said the controller is appointed under the delegated powers of the minister and must not be confused with the SOE that the MP for SinasinaYongomugl is talking about.

“He said there is a very real threat of electricity becoming a national crisis thus it was incumbent on government to invoke the SOE under the relevant laws which is the Essential Services Act,” Mr Micah said.

Group defends emergency CHAIR of the emergency working group Clement Waine said declaring a state of emergency is covered in the Essential Services Act of 2002.

Mr Waine said all the ingredients for proclaiming an emergency for an essential service were specific and clearly stated in this legislation.

“Proper ground for invoking the Essential Services Act (ESA 2002) was established, with PNG Power Ltd (PPL) on its knees and vultures flying over it to pick on its carcass,” he said.

“Yes, there are commercial issues but the practices of electricity theft has becomes so serious that a state of emergency nationwide is needed.

“Commercial rules can suffice on their own for ordinary companies but this is a utility company providing a declared essential service and it will be negligent upon government to let its company fail – it is too big to fail without causing serious crisis to the security and safety of the state and citizens.

“Commercial rules alone couldn’t deal with this situation (eg people threatened PPL workers reading meters with guns and machetes and illegal connections, etc) – commercial rules failed and hence this option,” he said.

PM’s tribunal put off

the drum

FROM PAGE 1 THE Supreme Court will firstly decide on whether the Public Prosecutor was permitted to seek further evidence from the Ombudsman Commission before making the decision to proceed with the matter and refer it to the leadership tribunal.

It will also rule on whether the Public Prosecutor could amend the matter by, for example, adding to or varying the misconduct allegations.

Secondly, if answers to these questions are negative, the Supreme Court is asked to rule whether the Public Prosecutor had the jurisdiction to investigate, inquire into and determine the misconduct in office allegations against the Prime Minister.

Justice Cannings said the granting of these orders to the Prime Minister was in the interests of justice that the tribunal would not be put in a position of being obliged to conduct its proceedings while constitutional questions that would have an impact on whether it has jurisdiction, are in the process of being heard and determined.

Naru wants justice for Moanna’s killers

BY MELISHA YAFOI

MOROBE Governor Kelly Naru has described the shooting death of Moanna Pisimi as a horrendous crime and justice must be meted to the perpetrators in the strongest possible way.

“There are a number of questions the relatives and the authorities have in mind and are impatient to know the answers to the questions regarding the recent incident that has occurred on New Year’s Day,” he said yesterday when he visited the grieving relatives at their Butibam village in Lae. “The facts and circumstances leading up to the brutal murder must be fully

HORRENDOUS CRIME: The shooting death of Moanna Pisimi is a horrendous crime and justice must be meted to the perpetrators in the strongest possible way.

and transparently established by an independent, professional and uncompromised (team of) detectives and investigators to provide the true information of what happened to bring comfort to the grieving relatives and the people of Lae city,” Mr Naru said.

He said the investigation team from Port Moresby must be seen to investigate

so that justice was done in a manner that was impartial, independent, transparent and uncompromised.

He thanked the Police Commissioner Geoffrey Vaki for attending to the case as was indeed a reassurance in the endeavour to seek justice.

He said the family had filed a case for this tragic incident to be dealt with by

the coroner and the Morobe Provincial Government supported the move to let the coronial inquest establish the truth “in this murder and to bring to justice the perpetrators of this terrible crime, including who ever is involved in the killing”.

“With the power and authority vested in me, I also call on the police to complete the outstanding case for the death of Peter Banaga who also died in suspicious situation to enable us to know what actually happened so that it can be of peace to the grieving family as a result of these double tragedy,” Mr Naru said in relation to Ms Pisimi’s father who was also found dead in his vehicle in Lae last year.

THE PNG Power boss has asked that he and colleagues from other state utility companies be involved in the urban physical planning stages.

Not a bad idea and in fact long overdue, especially from a building industry perspective.

MAYBE they could also look at the government planning for the two generators bought from the Israeli firm?

We hear fuel costs to run them are exorbitant and who planned the one for Lae? It seems the generator is too heavy to cross the bridges in town and has not yet left

the wharf.

PPL RESCUE

SOME five years ago PNG Power did declare profit of some sort when Arthur Somare was State Enterprise Minister. If the SOE is finding it difficult to make money, maybe they might want to bring the former MP back to save the entity.

TWO SIDES

THE slump in international crude oil prices will be a double-edged sword for PNG. Local motorists will be happy at the drop in fuel prices. But the fall in oil prices will hurt the Government who want to maximise returns from PNG’s LNG exports.

Electoral Commission loses senior officer

Games security ops look good

BY TONY SII UPNG Journalism Student

At a glance

WITH only six months left before the staging of the Pacific Games in July this year, security operations are “on target and looking good”, says the deputy police commissioner for operations.

Jim Andrews gave this assurance yesterday when contacted by this newspaper, adding that the positive security prospects of the games are attributed to the government’s political and financial backing for the event.

Mr Andrews says so far the government has released K26 million out of the K56 million commitment to the police, which leads the games security operations.

“We are prepared, and confident that we will fulfil our operations and we thank the government for its support.

“We are now focusing on manpower and working on a final draft for the operations – everything is looking good,” Mr Andrews said.

He said the K26 million is being used for capital purchases which includes vehicles, intelligence efforts and logistics such as computers and high-tech equipment Mr Andrews said the remaining K30 million, expected before the games begin, will cater for the actual security operations on the ground.

It also covers the deployment, accommodation and allowances of 2500 Police, Defense, and Correctional Service personnel needed to protect 3000 athletes and officials plus spectators throughout the event.

“The government gave the

“People do not need to panic.

“We are confident in this because we’ve been manning major operations such as national election so there is no real problem but the challenge is to ensure there are no disruptions of the games,” Mr Andrews said.

He said the games security operations will also ensure measures are in place to prevent criminal elements travelling into the country under the guise of the games.

He said the success of the operations will be a stepping stone for the country’s security capability when it hosts the 2018 APEC meeting.

“The security resources used in the Games will be kept intact and further used for the APEC meeting with added funding from the government,” Mr Andrews said.

THE Electoral Commission has lost one of its senior officers on Monday.

Late deputy electoral commissioner Steven Yakali, from Avatip village in the Ambunti district in East Sepik Province, died suddenly at his home village while on recreational leave.

According to the Electoral Commission, Mr Yakali had complained of chest pains before collapsing and dying.

Chief Electoral Commissioner Andrew Trawen has passed his condolences to the family and relatives, saying the death was unexpected and untimely.

“The death of Mr Yakali is a big loss not only to the Electoral Commission but the country as well.

“Late Mr Yakali served the department with dedication, commitment and hard work until his death on Monday,” Mr Trawen said.

Mr Yakali has served as deputy administrator for Chimbu Province in 2007 before he joining the Electoral Commission corporate services in 2010, then going on to be the deputy electoral commissioner until his death on Monday.

CUSCUS ON SALE THESE cuscus were on sale beside the main road at Five-Mile in Port Moresby. Cuscus is a marsupial that lives in Australia, PNG and on nearby islands. There are 23 species of cuscus that differ in size, color and type of habitat. Cuscus can survive in different ecosystems: tropical rainforests, mangroves and dense forests at high altitudes (3900 feet). Number of cuscus in the wild is still large, but they are facing uncertain future.

Biggest threats for the survival of cuscuses are habitat loss, habitat destruction and hunt (because of their meat and fur). In this moment cuscus is not on the list of endangered species.

Smuggling worries Indonesia THE Indonesian Government has raised issues of great concern that the smuggling of goods from Papua New Guinea is now increasing at an alarming rate.

Already there are plans to have more meetings with PNG authorities to address these issues now that the two countries are engaged in many business activities.

Goods such as sea cucumbers and fish stomach, as well as marijuana are often smuggled across the border.

This has indicated that the Indonesian-PNG border is rife with illegal smuggling, especially at parts of Merauke, Papua, and Daru in PNG, according to Indonesian defence intelligence officials.

Yesterday the Merauke na-

val base commander Brigadier General Buyung Lalana issued a statement to the media in Indonesia citing specific areas that were prone to smuggling due to limited equipment, such as motorboats.

The statement said the smugglers were mostly Indonesians and smuggled goods from PNG.

Concerns over cash taken out of B’ville

BY SEBASTIAN HAKALITS CONCERNS have been raised on how Chinese businesses operating in Bougainville have been conducting their transactions.

Chairman and director of Bougainville High Risk Security, Albert Magoi and Pastor Judah Ratsi raised this concern on behalf of churches in the region.

This is after his security company, which is contracted at the Buka Airport

terminal to check outward passenger luggage, found Chinese nationals who operate business in Bougainville travelling out of the region with large sums of cash stacked in a box that fits into a canvas bag and is carried as personal luggage out of the region.

Mr Magoi said his officers have found cash going out every month of last year through those Chinese businesses and he has questioned if they are doing

banking with the Bank South Pacific branches in Buka and Arawa.

He said that is why the people of Bougainville suffer due to the shortage of cash experienced daily in the banks and the operating automatic teller machines in town.

He said the Autonomous Bougainville Government should now do something or enact a low that will minimise or stop them from taking cash away from

Bougainville without delay as this is a dangerous exercise that is crippling other business or he will not hesitate to confiscate those large sums of money from them at the airport and they can travel without the cash.

Pastor Ratsi of the Gods Kingdom Network, on behalf of other churches, raised the concern that whether this cash goes to Port Moresby for banking to or not, as if these transactions of the large sums of cash is done in

Bougainville, then it will be recorded by the central bank of PNG to raise the economy status of Bougainville but what the Chinese are doing will economically project Bougainville as a poor region.

He said if we are under the autonomous arrangement, then the ABG must take serious steps with stringent measures, especially with Chinese who are married here and taking cash out of the province.

Parkop: Buai sellers getting good money

BY ROSALYN ALBANIEL

NATIONAL Capital District Governor Powes Parkop says buai vendors, including those from Gulf Province, are earning good money for their bags of betelnut.

Mr Parkop was responding to claims by Gulf locals that they were hard hit by low prices being offered for their bags of betel-nut at Roborogo market, outside Port Moresby.

He said the NCD Commission had been monitoring the prices, and sellers were getting K150 to K200 and not K50 as claimed.

“They can set up their own markets in Central Province to sell and control this particular activity so that it does not become a liability to the city.

“We have given them this opportunity so as they can also maximise profit but it seems they don’t want to take advantage of this option we have presented to them,” he said.

Mr Parkop said the other opportunity that was not being utilised was to sell exclusively to the commission-approved contractor Askopina Limited.

Mr Parkop said temporary licences, which were issued for a period of six months, are due expired in April.

Central bank warns of money scams

THE controversial five-star hotel and casino, still incomplete, at Boroko in the nation’s capital. Post-Courier file picture

Koreans still keen to complete casino THE Korean consortium involved in the five-star casino hotel in Port Moresby wants to go it alone and complete the stalled project.

CMSS indicated this week that it was ready to reimburse its three Papua New Guinea shareholders their five per cent shares, amounting to K11 million each to Papindo shopping chain and resource landowner groups Petroleum Resource Moran and Petroleum Resource Gobe.

The three and the Koreans make up CMSS Papua New Guinea which were the owners of the hotel rocked by controversy and court chal-

We have enough money to construct Moresby Casino Hotel SOUTH KOREANS Port Moresby

lenges over share-holding, finance and building standards requirements.

Speaking for the first time since the controversy, CMSS said it wanted to engage in a settlement with authorities involved and proceed with the completion.

The South Koreans told the Post-Courier that because of the court case surrounding the hotel, they were moving cautiously.

They say the Prime Minister Peter O’Neill and his Government had already been approached through a letter but to date had not received a reply.

“Firstly, CMSS has enough money and we want to finish this construction since we began work.

“Secondly, CMSS wants to operate this construction with 100 per cent CMSS funds by refunding PRG, PRM and Panpido invest money with reasonable

interest.

“Thirdly, CMSS will construct and operate a scholarship foundation to support future kids in PNG,” they said in correspondence with the Post-Courier.

CMSS is Private Corporation owned by a Mr Choi Chang Su. It was set up in Papua New Guinea as a construction company in 2005.

The following year it won a road contract in the Eastern Highlands Province followed by Southern Highlands Province funded by the Asia Development Bank.

Mr Su sold 15 per cent of

the company at five per cent each to PRM, PRG and Papindo Group and in 2007, CMSS constructed the Moresby Casino Hotel in Port Moresby.

He said CMSS was still keen to finish the hotel which would have international standards conference rooms for 1000 people, boasts more than 200 rooms and VIP rooms.

He acknowledged the initially cash flow problem in building a hotel in Port Moresby, adding that “things had changed” since.

“Now, we have enough money to construct Moresby Casino Hotel,” Mr Su said.

THE Bank of Papua New Guinea has renewed his warning to the public not to invest in fast money scams.

The central bank said in a statement this week people should not invest their hard earned money in these scams which were illegal and fraudulent.

“People who place their money with promoters or agents of these money schemes risk losing their hard earned cash.

“The bank is aware of certain individual(s), agents or groups who ask innocent individuals and companies to pay cash with a hefty promise of 100-2000 per cent return on investment,” BPNG Governor Loi Bakani said in the statement.

“They also claim that a huge sum of money (often in billions-trillions) is held by the Bank of PNG and is awaiting clearance for immediate payment.

Similar scams have also been reportedly operating in many other parts of PNG.” Mr Bakani said the bank was aware of recent scams using mobile phone text messages, fraudulent documents with his signature, names of the Prime Minister, Government Ministers and politicians, winning of lotteries and prizes, up-front fees for facilitating access to funds held in offshore accounts and other fraudulent means.

He warned that promoters of these scams always ask for cash fees to be paid up front.

“Do not be fooled into paying up front fees. These are all different types of scams and are illegal.

“Be warned that the Bank of Papua New Guinea does not deal with financial transactions for any individuals or private groups.

“The Bank only deals with the Governments transactions and therefore warns the public to be careful and avoid giving money to individuals and groups that promise to pay high returns,” he said.

He urged the public to report such scammers to the bank.

Land group urges govt to unlock customary land

BY ISAAC NICHOLAS

A CUSTOMARY land group has called on the government to assist in un-locking customary land for development including housing for Papua New Guineans.

The Communal Land Development Limited (CLDL) Director Dr Onne Rageau said this when commending the O’Neill government on the drive taken by the National Planning Minister Charles Abel to give 2000 free land titles to ordinary public servants

and workers by March this year.

Dr Rageau said this is supported by the Prime Minister Peter O’Neil with

the deposit of K200 million into Bank South Pacific and the report further stated that, they are taking about K150, 000 house at four per

cent over 40 years of loan repayments.

“The question now being asked by all 7.5 million PNG’s are that since housing is a basic need, what are the selection process and why this is a pilot project only involving 2000 public servants?”

He said the CLDL supports the Government on free land titles to PNG workers to build homes. And the government without hesitation must acknowledge that the total land mass of PNG is commonly referred to as

customary land which 97 per cent is owned by the Papua New Guineans as the legitimate or rightful landowners.”

“Therefore, to achieve the objective of owning the Dream Homes, the government must do the correct thing by way of customary land registration by the existing authentic customary land law.” Dr Rageau said.

He said the Communal Land Developments recommend among others; Remove the ILG or SABL

(un-traditional, un-cultural and un-constitutional) concepts in the customary land registration because it brings corruption, poverty and deprivation of landowner’s resource development benefits including the equity shareholding on the customary land projects; and, Strongly recommend the use of Papua New Guinea Customary Land Law which is recognised by tradition, cultural values and by the Under-Lying Law Act 2000 as constitutional customary land rights.

Education Dept remains quiet on new curriculum

BY NELLIE SETEPANO EDUCATION Secretary Michael Tapo and his senior officers are still quiet on whether the standardsbased education curriculum will be implemented this year.

Yesterday the Post-Courier could not confirm with Mr Tapo and top education officials within the curriculum unit that the new curriculum may be deferred when the academic year begins in three weeks due to lack of funds and the unavailability of teaching and training materials.

Earlier in the week, Education Minister Nick Kuman insisted that despite the Education Department’s lack of preparedness, the SBE curriculum must and would be implemented, starting with training this year.

However, within the department there was fear that the curriculum may be late in implementing in schools next month.

There are concerns that there was also lack of funds for teachers’ training. Already a lack of funds at

Also training and teaching materials such as teachers’ guides and syllabuses for the curriculum may not be ready for the academic year, education officials say.

There was a likely delay in implementation despite rosy public announcements from the department’s top management that the new curriculum was ready, the officials said.

Students benefit from scholarship program

BY DENYSE KALAU ABOUT 20 students in the Central Province will be given the chance to further their education in Malaysia under a provincial government scholarship program.

This was made known by Central Province Governor Kila Haoda when announcing the recent partnership of Jayacorp Holdings Limited and Iris Corp Land Limited as new partners to assist the Central Provincial Government with its scholarship programs, which aim to develop human resource in the province.

Mr Haoda, when welcoming the partnership of both companies this week, said education plays a powerful role in transforming the lives of individuals and it is good that companies

such as Jayacorp and Iris Corp Land Limited have seen the need to assist provinces such as central, that has one of the biggest populations in the country, by investing more on education and human resource.

“The Hoada scholarship program as stated by Mr Haoda is one of the top priority areas that Haoda government is keen to develop by providing the best kind of education that can empower the province with highly skilled men and women who can contribute meaningfully to the development of the province,” he said.

Both companies will be working in partnership with central government to invest in education for the next ten years to ensure that the province has the best human resource in the country.

Potential cyanide spillage serious

BY GRACE TIDEN

AN environmental assessment report will soon be finalised by an East New Britain monitoring team who have been monitoring cyanide laden leach vats and heaps at the idle Sinivit gold mine.

Authorities in ENB faced with this situation are treating it as a very serious case, given there is potential for a disastrous cyanide spillage.

According to sources within developer New Guinea Gold Limited, the mine was put on care and maintenance since October 1 last year and only a handful of workers were at the mine site to look after the vats and properties.

However, the recent theft of special canvases used to cover these heaps and vats has caused authorities to worry even more.

The rain fall average in the area is around 28 mm a day and special durable canvases were imported to stop rain water from getting into the heaps and vats. Removing these canvases will allow rain water to increase the cyanide solution level.

The mine is located in the Baining

Ranges has a total of 17 vats with some located on ridges and near cliff edges. The Baining Ranges is where most of the province’s rivers originate.

Authorities also fear possible landslips which could be very disastrous.

Monitoring Team Leader Florence Paisparea said it will take them another two weeks to finalize their environment assessment preliminary report.

The team started last week Monday and they have been continuously checking and monitoring the vats at the mine.

Most of the mine workers have left due to nonpayment of wages. Ms Paisparea said the skeleton staffs at the mine have been asked to stay on just to watch over the vats.

The team will continue to monitor the situation and the preliminary findings once completed will be handed over to the Mineral Resources Authority, the ENB Provincial Executive Council, the landowners, the Department of Environment and Conservation and other relevant bodies for immediate action.

Vet warns against dog disease

BY TONY SII and DONALD WILLIE

PET owners have been warned to be cautious of a dog disease that can possibly spread to humans.

Assistant veterinarian nurse at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) Joe Kendai said the canine heartworm disease is confined to dogs but in rare circumstances, could spread to humans.

“The effects the disease can have on humans are swollen stomachs and digestive complications and the case can get very serious if untreated for a prolonged period of time,” Mr Kendai said.

He said although cases of people contracting the disease from dogs were rare in PNG, there were possibilities of the worst case scenario given that dogs are closer to humans than other animals.

Concurring to this, chief veterinarian officer at the National Agriculture and Quarantine Authority Dr

Nime Kapo said the parasitic disease was not categorised a zoonoses, whereby it could not naturally be transmitted to humans but had occurred once or twice before.

Dr Kapo said the disease had been around for some time but was not fatal to humans however, for the sake of the pets, extra precautions should be taken by those living in mosquito-infested areas as this was what transmit the disease.

The disease can cause heart and lung diseases, and even death in dogs and to a lesser extent in cats if untreated.

Symptoms to look out for canine heartworm disease on dogs are coughing, lack of energy, reluctance to exercise, and weight loss as a result of the presence of the parasitic worm that lives in the pulmonary (lungs) arteries of infected dogs.

To avoid this Mr Kendai appealed to pet owners to take their animals to the RSPCA clinic at Waigani for testing and vaccination.

PROVIDING business ideas to local farmers, public servants, students and grassroots through-out the country is a key to economic growth, says a university student.

Pacific Adventist University third year business student Steven Boping from Tambul district in Western Highlands Province used his holiday time to give helpful business tips to his local community in the district.

His presentation was titled “overnight millionaire” and covered vital topics like household budget planning, wise management of money, and unnecessary spending to name a few. These topics suited the people because it informed them on how to spend wiser, manage and save their small incomes.

Mr Boping said the aim of his presentation was to transform the living standard of his people. He said this meant helping normal villagers become successful money managers.

He called on the Government to support him in carrying out similar presentations in other rural communities.

“It would greatly help out a lot of people and change lives,” said Mr Boping.

Quick thoughts

COP DISCIPLINE PLEASE

The recent killing of Moanna Pisimi is a regrettable one and should be condemned in the strongest possible manner. The car chase didn’t even warrant a shooting straight to the person driving. Instead the tyres should have been shot at to stop the vehicle from moving. I feel for her family for losing their beloved one at the hands of people whom we thought to be protecting lives and property. Thorough investigations needs to be carried out and those responsible for pulling the trigger should be charged and thrown behind bars for the crime they committed. Please Mr Vaki, its time you introduce some measures to control how firearms are being handled in public by your men as we do not want another innocent life to be lost. This country is not at war for firearms to be carried around 24/7 and discharged at will by happy trigger cops.

GAME UPDATES PLEASE

What is the Games Organising Committee’s progress update of the 15th South Pacific Games preparation? It is now 177 days prior to the opening day and a couple of our major sporting facilities undergoing construction remain far from completed. The heavy down pour will become a real headache for the construction sites, recruitment and training for ground staff, and volunteers have not yet commenced.

What about the opening and closing ceremonies, are there any rehearsals or practice performances taking place? We have a few months to go and our city will be swarming with thousands of travellers and sporting fanatics. Let’s hope that the committee will leave no room for error so that Port Moresby will be truly prepared to deliver the expected level of excitement and entertainment associated with such a major international event.

Looking for someone?

I AM looking for a middle-aged woman from Urimilkul village near Gumine district office. Her name is Catherine Sine. She should be in Warakum or somewhere in Mt Hagen. If someone knows her whereabouts, please call me on 7264 9666.

Your opinions

SME talk unrealistic IN recent times; there has been much talk about encouraging and motivating more Papua New Guineans to venture into small to medium enterprises (SMEs).

It is obvious that many who have said something or made comments about this topic are mostly politicians, academics, media personnel and bureaucrats who are supposedly regarded as a category of people who lack “experiential class of business knowledge”.

The result of too much talking over the so many years of theorising what is learnt from schools cannot be applied because without this “experiential knowledge”, one cannot provide applicable experiences which are necessary and significant to motivate

and encourage Papua New Guineans from their cultured subsistence economy into the westernised business economics of creating SMEs. The Minister for Commerce and Industry, Richard Maru, must be commended for his efforts, along with his other colleagues and stakeholders.

However, much has to be done and acted upon rather than having too many summits after summits purporting to serve the interest of the SMEs. There has to be a clear definition of what an SME is. Currently, it is unclear as to what this is and how people can truly benefit from this.

Since the 2010 Kokopo Indigenous Business Summit, nothing tangible has really happened to the lives of Papua New Guineans. Perhaps, funds

have been allocated to the National Development Bank, but how many grass-roots people have accessed these funds is anybody’s guess.

What difference does it make when a grass-roots person walks into a NDB branch to be told to have his/ her collateral or equity before a loan can be approved. And mind you; normally a collateral or equity is in the asking of K10,000 and above. So how does one expect an individual grassroots person to come up with such an amount when cash crop prices are uneconomical to provide sufficiently for these aspects of loans?

Questioning police tactics

Text us on 208

those vehicles they chase are NOT shooting back at them? Are they allowed to consume alcohol when they are driving any police vehicle (marked or unmarked) while on duty?

What we see happening elsewhere in other democracies, and I guess they are the same laws that govern our police force here in PNG (if we are a democracy?), is that when Police give chase to another vehicle they have their sirens and blue and red lights on to indicate to the law breaker that they are police, even if the vehicle is tinted and unmarked. If the offenders see this and yet they defy it, then Police are justified to use extreme measures. And by that I do not mean shoot to kill… that is NOT what Police are meant to do…that is what criminals do.

What defies logic here in PNG is we continue to lose lives at the hands of the police; not criminals as we are portrayed to be. This gets the ordinary citizen to lose faith in the police force as we see them as enemies. The killing of Moanna Pisimi, in her prime, for just driving faster than the police (and I am not sure if the police

vehicle was marked or unmarked and tinted with or without sirens and blue and red lights) marks a very very low point for the police force, especially in Lae. This is an act of cowardice and is what we see happening in Syria and Iraq. In the name of maintaining law and order the Police shot an unarmed young women for speeding! This is a new record for how low the police has stooped in Lae. Another near death experience at the hands of police in an unmarked tinted 10 seater on the boarder of Jiwaka and Simbu unfolded a few weeks ago when police shot directly at the car, shot the tyres and when the vehicle stopped they dragged the driver and nearly hacked him to death when other people nearby stopped them. They dragged the almost dead driver to Minj police station and locked him up literally to die with no medical attention.

The driver, a businessman, drove faster to avoid what he thought were criminals chasing him in a tinted unmarked 10 seater!

I DON’T see any logic or common sense in the free land titles. What is the National Planning Minister, Charles Abel trying to prove by giving out free land titles? The portions of land illegally occupied by vagarants at ATS and the surrounding airport area are Koiari and Koitabu land stolen by the colonial masters from the true landowners in the late 50s and 60s. The national Government must pay up all the outstanding land bills to Koiaris and Koitabuans before any free land titles are to be given out.

Letter of the day WE are probably the only country in the world (I stand to be corrected here) where police on regular beat patrol travel in unmarked vehicles. I am familiar with the unmarked vehicles used by certain units within the Police force but ordinary beat patrols?

Problem is criminals also travel in unmarked vehicles, so when you are chased, how do you know whether it is the law?

In our country police and criminals have allot in common. They both have powerful weapons, intimidating tinted vehicles which are unmarked, travel at all hours, travel anywhere, look for trouble, and shoot to kill.

We are all familiar with the laws that govern criminals. These are based on commonsense. What we don’t know, are the laws that govern the police. For instance, are they allowed to travel in unmarked and tinted vehicles incognito (due to the heavy tint in most of these cars) when they are on beat patrol? Are they allowed to shot at a vehicle when the passengers in

Airport security checks needs to be careful THE security officer who checked my baggage at the domestic terminal on the afternoon of January 4, 2015, was very rude and rough.

He was only interested in a duty free alcohol I had in my carry-on bags. As a result of his careless attitude, my computer bag fell off from the baggage checking bench and had its base cracked on the floor.

He should have just set aside the bag that had the alcohol and asked me to explain. Instead he was so interested in the alcohol that he forgot about his job of ensuring

I suggest that the security officers be specifically trained to ensure that baggage is efficiently checked and that travellers are not hassled.

Also I would like to point out that during the Christmas New Year period the Jacksons domestic terminal could not handle the number of travellers moving through it.

The queue at the entry went as far as the exit at the domestic

arrivals and towards the international terminal. The air condition in the terminal was out functioned by body heat of the travellers.

Can National Airport Corporation (NAC) improve the air conditions and other facilities in the terminal?

The number of travellers are increasing every year and the facilities should be able to cater for the increasing number of travellers.

LAND TITLES DISPUTED

TEACHERS NOT READY SCHOOLS will resume classes for the 2015 academic year in three weeks time. According to the 2015 school calendar, teachers are ex-

pected to resume duties January, 26 while classes will commence on the February 2.

That means teachers will have only two more weeks to spend as part of their Christmas vacation period before going back to the classroom.

When looking at this remaining time frame, it is likely that teachers will be placed in a state of confusion and will ask these questions. Are we ready to implement the standardbased curriculum (SBC) as intended by the government starting in the beginning of this year? Have all the curriculum materials being disseminated into all the schools in advance for use when school starts?

With such questions in mind, the implementation of the SBC will become another issue for teachers to overcome as expected by the government. No proper awareness and in-service trainings being provided for teachers to have them prepared well in advance before implementing the SBC. Teachers will likely to encounter some difficulties in the areas of planning and preparation, teaching and learning including assessment.

The much critized OBE curriculum was seen as a failed curriculum which was phased out and consequently replaced with the SBC by the government. The main purpose behind the inception of the SBC into our education system is to set clear standards for what students should learn and to use those academic standards to drive other changes in the system for life-long learning and living. The current government is commended for introducing this new curriculum together with its tuition fee free education policy for a change in our education system.

However, the possible setback will be the effective implementation of the new curriculum.

Teachers have not been made aware of the curriculum aims and the principles.

“Restoration, Reformation, Modernization of National Parliament” The Legislative Process

Know Your Parliament with Hon. Theo Zurenouc, MP.

Belated Happy New Year to readers of this column. Welcome to the first edition of 2015 titled “The Legislative Process”. Making law is one of the main functions of Parliament and involved the three arms of government. Parliament makes law, Judiciary interprets the law and the Executive implement the law. Law is vital in providing norm of conduct for citizens to live in a peaceful and problem free society.

THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS A Bill is a proposal for a new law or an amendment to an existing law which is introduced into Parliament. Once a Bill has been debated and then approved by the majority of the Members in Parliament, and has received Royal Assent, it becomes law and is known as an Act. An Act is passed in response to a need to regulate, authorize, proscribe, provide, sanction, grant, and declare or to restrict.

Any Member of Parliament (MP) can introduce a Bill. Often proposals from government which have the strong support of the Government will be passed. Other laws are called private Members Bill, which are introduced by an individual MP. Even then, some will fail to get through due to timeconsuming process. Most Bills must complete all their stages within one session of Parliament, which ends each year in November. However, it is also possible for the Government to circumvent the full legislative process and drive through statutes at great speed and complete it in a matter of days.

Preparation stage All Acts of Parliament start life as a Bill which must pass through Parliament. We tend to think of this stage as the main legislative process. But equally, if not more important, is what happens before a Bill reaches Parliament.

Almost all Bills are Public, that is, they affect the whole country. But few are Private and only affect a local area or institution such as a company. These must be distinguished from Private Members’ Bills. Public Bills originate from a number of different sources. The majority are proposed by government departments. Most are devised by ministers and civil servants without having been put to the electorate for specific approval. Some proposed legislation originates from the findings of special commissions or official inquiries, or from reports of the Law Commission, which is a permanent body set up to review areas of the law which might need change. The Government decides whether or not to agree to these proposals and put them before Parliament.

Once a department has decided that it wishes to ask Parliament to pass legislation on a certain topic, it will undergo a consultation process with interested parties. The extent of this process will differ depending on the complexity, importance and urgency of the matter. It may take many months or a few days. The first stage is often a consultation document which sets out in general terms what the Government is seeking to do and asks for views. Once these are received and taken account of the Government sets out the proposals decided upon and the reasons for the legislation. These stages are not fixed by formal rules and are subject to change.

Drafting At the point where a department has decided on the provisions it wishes to pass these are passed to civil servants called Parliamentary Counsel or lawyers who are experts in drafting techniques. A long or complex Bill may take many months to draft, with regular meetings between Parliamentary Counsel and the department responsible for the Bill to ensure that the wording accurately reflects what is proposed.

Initiation and Notice of Intention In order to be given time in Parliament, the MP will give notice of intention by stating its terms to the Parliament and delivering a copy to the Clerk at the Table, or delivering a copy of its terms to the Clerk. The notice specify the title of the bill and signed by the proposer and at least one other MP. A copy of the bill can be printed and circulated to all MPs. After the notice of intention to present a bill is given to the Clerk, the Clerk will report it to the Parliament at its first convenient opportunity and be placed on the notice paper.

First reading This is a formal stage whereby the Bill is laid before the House and is read for the first time by the Clerk without any questions being put. There is no debate on its content. It is placed on the Notice Paper as an order of the day for a later time.

Second reading At this stage, the Minister sets out the policy objectives of the Bill and a debate are held in the House on its merits in broad terms. At the end of the debate the House will vote on the Bill. If the vote is lost by the Government, the Bill cannot proceed any further, though it is rare for a Government Bill to be defeated at this stage. Immediately after the second reading the parliament may resolve itself into a committee to allow for more detail consideration of the bill. Amendments in the committee must be within the scope of the bill.

Committee stage The detailed scrutiny of a Bill takes place in a Standing Committee. The purpose of the Committee is not to consider the desirability of the Bill in principle, since that has already been approved by the House during the Second Reading, but to scrutinise the workability of the detailed clauses. In practice, almost all the amendments which are successful are those which are proposed by the Government, though sometimes the members can be persuaded of the validity of a proposal for change by an opposition member.

Report stage Once the Committee has agreed to the draft Bill, it goes back to the House. The Government may reject the changes carried out at Committee stage or, indeed, make further changes.

Third reading The last stage in the Parliament is the third reading where the member’s debate whether the bill should be passed in its final form as it emerged from the work of the Committee. If the Bill is confirmed and is now ready to be passed to the Governor General for Royal Assent.

Royal Assent This is the final stage in the legislative process whereby the Queen through the Governor General signs the Act of Parliament. It may come into force immediately or at a future stage, as stipulated in the Act. In the next article I will discuss with you the process by which a new government is form.

REVEREND Stephen Michael Leach speaking with an elderly mother in the Highlands (above) and a group of women (below). Pictures: TENDINA KAWAGE

PNG needs to prioritise mental healthcare WELL-KNOWN evangelist and anti-violence advocate Reverend Stephen Michael Leach has called on the Government, churches and society to begin addressing the lack of mental healthcare in Papua New Guinea.

Rev Leach, who has ministered extensively throughout PNG during the past eight years, made the call as he related a recent tragic incident involving a friend with an impaired mind.

This is his story: “My heart is so deeply grieved for one of my sisters here in Papua New Guinea. She worked very hard to establish a better life for herself, she saved her money from working at a supermarket and used that income to buy the materials to build her own home.

She was married with a child and then a couple of years ago she was brutally attacked by a family member with an iron spade and suffered a debilitating brain injury as a result.

Though she recovered from that act of violence physically the mental scars never healed.

Her family kicked her out of her home and she became homeless sleeping on the streets of her town.

She came to hear me preach a few times and the Word of God ministered peace to her spirit.

Where there was clouded confusion I glimpsed clarity in her eyes at the hearing of the Word.

When I passed through her town and inquired about her recently I was told that she had been sexually abused by men in her community who took advantage of her impaired mind and as

a result she has contracted HIV/ AIDS.” Rev Leach continues his story with impassioned tears: “The first weekend of 2015 she passed away. I am so angry, I am heartbroken, and I am determined that somehow someway we will find a way to minister abundant LIFE to the many others in this nation who are suffering in like manner.”

We as a society in Papua New Guinea must begin to provide comprehensive mental and spiritual care for the weak and broken among us. If we refuse to do so then we must cease from calling ourselves a Christian nation!

I pray that the Lord in His grace opened His arms and received my sister home. I pray that she is at rest. I thank God that her suffering has ceased and she is no longer held captive by confusion.

Some studies suggest that women with disabilities are three times more vulnerable to abuse, stigmatisation, and discrimination but sadly in many cases of

mental illness here in PNG the families do not seem to give them the care and support needed.

Much of the problem goes back to how women and girls are often treated in the PNG society. If this woman hadn’t been beaten (by a man) with a shovel she wouldn’t have acquired a brain injury. If the men who took advantage of her had any respect, decency, or compassion she would not have contracted HIV/AIDS and died.

Until all men in this nation adjust their mentality concerning women we will have more and more heartbreaking cases like this and indeed our global reputation will continue to suffer greatly. We desperately need an army of competent and compassionate social workers.

I call upon PNG as a deeply religious nation to actually become a compassionate expression of the Lord Jesus. It is not enough for us to simply claim His Name but we must be the living hands of Christ extended to the hurting and dying among us.”

O’Neill hails Tonga leader

THE Government of Papua New Guinea has hailed the election of the Akilisi Pohiva as the prime minister of the Kingdom of Tonga.

Prime Minister Peter O’Neill wrote to Tonga’s new prime minister last week following his election.

“On behalf of the government and people of Papua New Guinea, I wish to take this opportunity to sincerely congratulate you on your recent election as the prime minister of the Kingdom of Tonga,” Mr O’Neill stated in his letter.

“Your ascension to the position of prime minister is indeed a milestone for your country and the Pacific region.

“Your election is also the demonstration of the value and importance of the noble principles of democracy in the Pacific.”

Mr O’Neill made the point that Papua New Guinea and Tonga continue to enjoy close and friendly ties and it is his intention to work closely with Tonga’s new prime minister to strengthen the engagement.

He said this will be across all areas of trade and investment in agriculture and fisheries, as well as cultural, educational and sporting exchanges.

Throughout 2015 there will be a number of opportunities for people from Tonga and Papua New Guinea to meet, including the Pacific Games and the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders’ Meeting in Port Moresby.

O’Neill highlighted the opportunity for the two leaders to meet and reiterating his congratulations to Prime Minister Pohiva.

“I further look forward to welcoming you and your delegation in 2015 when Papua New hosts the Pacific Islands Forum leaders’ meeting.

“Congratulations once again and God Bless your administration and the Kingdom of Tonga,” Mr O’Neill said.

Momis refutes instability claim AUTONOMOUS Bougainville Government President John Momis has refuted claims that his government is causing instability in the autonomous region.

He said this in relation to claims by former Bougainville Revolutionary Army strongman Ishmael Toroama that the autonomous province was regressing and there were several controversial decisions that had not gone down well with the people.

Mr Toroama had, in a letter to Mr Momis, questioned the replacement of Bougainville’s acting Chief Secretary Chris Siriosi with Monovi Amani.

Mr Toroama also raised his concern on the Torokina oil palm project, the benefit sharing arrangement of the Bougainville flagship MV Chebu and its partner Hakau Investments Ltd. He said another venture, POGE Bougainville Development Ltd, had Mr

Momis and several of his ministers listed as shareholders, which was against the law. The letter ended with an ultimatum that said that if they were not satisfied with Momis’ reply, they would ask him to resign as the President of the ABG. However, Mr Momis said that proper processes were followed in Mr Amani’s appointment as the new Chief Secretary.

“The Bougainville senior appointment’s commit-

tee is an independent body which has the final say on the appointments of senior public service positions in Bougainville,” Mr Momis said. “There was a genuine need for the change so it had to be done, and the best candidate that came out on top is the new Chief Secretary, Mr Monoi Amani.”

On the Torokina project, he said he did not have any shares in the venture however, his government had revived it with Hakau

Investments winning the bid to coordinate the project for K10 million.

Mr Momis said the benefit sharing arrangement with Hakau Investments Ltd over MV Chebu clearly stipulated that both the ABG and the company each have a 50 per cent stake in the Chebu Shipping Company.

He said the shares in the POGE Bougainville Development Ltd were being held on behalf of the people.

Locals want service providers to serve them SERVICE providers in Arawa and Buka have been urged to lift their game to serve the people they are meant to serve.

“We are tired of hearing system down, system down every time we go to such offices,” said on frustrated father. “It’s really frustrating.

Said another woman customer: “We have to spend so much money to and from our places,” said one mother from Buin. She said traveling from Buin to Arawa costs about K60 both ways and if send to Buka will cost another K100 and if traveling with family is so much costly.

She said this while at the Airlines PNG agent office in Arawa when trying to check the air lines services schedule for Aropa.

Speaking to Ben Madaku at the office of the Bougainville Tours who are the agents of Airlines PNG, she questioned why are the air services providers not putting out their schedule for Aropa but Buka only.

She said by this time, three airlines supposed to start service at the newly opened Aropa Airport and should be in full service because these are the peak times where their children (students) will be travelling out to schools around the country.

Mr Madaku said other people are also expressed the same frustrations about these essential services in Arawa.

Most of them said they want to farewell their children at the Aropa Airport because for so long they have been traveling to Buka, which is very costly.

Mr Madaku said many people are are of the view that offices are here but the services are not felt, including banks and their agents.

“The worst thing that our clients are expressing is the air service which they really want other airlines to start their schedule by next week and so on; also they are frustrated about Air Nuigini office in Arawa which always displays the sign ‘system down’ or ‘power blackout’,” Mr Madaku said.

“The people are saying that these essential services must start servicing the people now, especially the Aropa Airport, which many said was a relief and could save them the long, bumpy ride to Buka.”

Air Niugini has started servicing the Aropa route last month but the country’s other two airlines were yet to start flying there.

All these airlines and other service providers could not be reached for comment.

Disabled people need extra love

BY MEROLYN TEN

OIL Search representatives visiting and bringing Christmas cheer to disabled people at the Chesire Disability Centre last month.

PERSONS living with disability need extra love, care and support from their immediate families, even though they are well looked after by someone else, says Joyce Koupere, the programs officer for PNG Cheshire Disbility Service.

Ms Koupere said it seems that most disability residence living under the care of the PNG Cheshire Disability Service have no parents or families at all, because they have been taken care of since they were in their childhood stage.

“It is very sad to see that most of them have come in as little children and now they are in their adulthood, without knowing who their real parents and families are,” she said.

She said it was also very heartbreaking to see that though few relatives visit ones or twice a time but they cannot go close to them, few make bad expressions on their faces and walk away.

“It is sad to see that most of them have come in as little children and now they are in they adulthood, without knowing who their real parents and families are..

JOYCE KOUPERE Port Moresby

Ms Koupere said every human being born into this planet has parents, and were born for a purpose even though people may categorised them as disabled or able but they are all equal and need to by treated fairly.

“They all have the right to; access all basic services, be loved, be cared and even do anything that all able persons can do to contribute to the economy

of the country,” she said.Ms Koupere said as careers, daily caring and supporting towards the 21 disabled residences was big challenge to them, but they always try their best to do anything that takes just to put a smile on their faces, after seeing how ignorant their families were.

“I urge all parents and relatives of the people living with disabilities to please come visit very often and show that you love them for who they are, and help put a smile on their faces as well, because afterwards we are shaping them to be better so that they can be released back to their respective families and communities,” Ms Koupere said.

She also thanked the Government, non-government organisations and individuals for their support and recognition towards the PNG Cheshire Disability Service.

The disability centre is located at Hohola, oppostive the PNG Power headquarters.

Evil cultures must go, says Christian leader

BY MEROLYN TEN ONE of the key indicators to see development in PNG is to tackle and address spiritually vicious cultural practices, says Tom Lepatu, the national director of the Tertiary Students Christian Fellowship (TSCF).

Mr Lepatu said although missionaries have arrived in PNG during the 1800s people are still practicing witchcraft, occult and tribal warfare in both coastal and highlands regions of the country.

“There are converted church members but still believe in their ancestral worship,” Mr Lepatu said. “As a result, people are more loyal to their cultural beliefs than their Christian faith.”

Mr Lepatu said for PNG to advance in all frontiers we need to undertake an environmental and spiritual mapping to identify different source of influences in our local community.

“We need to radically formulate policy and through Biblical approaches address every issue by the roots and define a new cultural pattern based on God’s principles,” he said.

He said the main source of influence is the devil (Satan) and if we are to solve all these cultural vicious issues of grave concern then we need to address the root cause, the devil and the devil does not fear anyone except the Word of God and the Power of the Holy Spirit.

“All possible solutions formulated by the Government to correct the evil cultures will not solve the problem since it’s a spiritual problem,”

“There are converted church members but still believe in their ancestral worship. As a result, they are loyal to their cultural beliefs than Christian faith..

TOM LEPATU Port Moresby

he said. Mr Lepatu said that is why the churches have the answer to all the social dilemmas that Papua New Guinea is confronted with.

“It should be understood that spiritual problems does not need government policies or reforms to correct the society.

“It’s a deeply embedded issue in the heart and mind of people and only God through His Word will change the people.”

There is an urgent need for law enforcers and churches to mobilise to address the spiritual dimensions of society to advocate justice and transformation.

Mr Lepatu’s call echoes that of many church and government leaders in recent times against cultural practices that are supposedly evil in nature, and how these practices influence national government policies.

One of these is from Parliament Speaker Theodore Zurenuoc, who has proceeded to remove carvings in Parliament House a little over two years ago and sparking a national debate that is now the subject of court proceedings.

Villagers demand road compo

THE Kindeng-Kondopina Road being eroded by flood as villagers from Bunum village watch helplessly.

Bunum community appeals for help

BY ANNA OMBA

THE 3500 people of Bunum community living along the Kindeng-Kondopina Road in Jiwaka province became victims of natural disasters when floods destroy their only road, family and community.

The Kindeng-Kondopina Road links North Waghi, South Whagi and Jimi districts of Jiwaka province and Dei council district in Western Highlands Province.

The people of Bunum faced the disaster starting in October and since then have exhausted all avenues to seek help to fix the road.

They said the KindengKondopina Road is their only link to urban centres and access to basic services like education and health.

Former councillor Jacob Bulda said his people really need the help from the Jiwaka Provincial Government and the disaster office in Port Moresby.

“We have lost three mem-

bers of our community and a lot of properties in the flood,” said Mr Bulda.

“The flood took our homes and properties and we have nothing to depend on. Our land is now filled with remaining water from the flood. “We can no longer make food garden or build houses on those affected areas.

“We are handicap and out of help and we ask that our government leaders and other churches and organisations can help us either

through cash or kind.”

He said the flooding has also affected teachers and students of Wara Whagi Primary School and Kondopina Primary School who now will not have proper buildings to teach and learn.

Mr Bulda said church buildings and other permanent buildings have been destroyed by the flood, which has also completely washed out the entire village plus the Simkor coffee plantation, Poka coffee plan-

tation, and WR Carpenters coffee plantation.

Joe Manga, a community leader, said they need immediate attention from the government.

A public servant complains saying that the KindengKondopina Road is the only route that he and his family use. He said his colleagues are also victims of the flood as they can no longer drive across the road because the river is now running on the highway which made it very hard for cars to bypass.

PEOPLE residing from the Yalo River Bridge up to Seven Kona area in the Kagua Erave district of Southern Highlands Province have stopped two excavators and demanded the provincial government and the local MP pay them K1 million.

But a community leader in the district, Dicksy Tasi, told the Post-Courier that this attitude is wrong and the people there need to stop this attitude and release the machines immediately.

“Road is the foremost service that we need and our MP for Kagua Erave James Lagaia saw this need and he bought two excavators to construct the road, they do not have the right to stop it,” Mr Tasi said.

He said they need these two excavators to fix their road to allow them to transport their garden and other produce to the markets.

He said now that the road is about to be fixed, the people along the road, who enjoy good roads and other services, have stopped the machines and put forward this demand.

“Why would they demand the provincial government and the MP for money while they are trying to deliver service to the people? This inhuman attitude needs to stop,” Mr Tasi said.

He said this is unfair and selfish, they too deserve the same service from their MP and they do not have the right to stop the machines.

“Whatever political differences that we have has to be fought over during election time, now is time for service delivery,” he said.

Western Highlands group into potato farming

BY DAVID MURI

A COMMUNITY outside Mt Hagen in Western Highlands Province was a proud recipient of agricultural products courtesy of an aid grant.

The Jika Mugmana tribe, through its registered community based organization called Pit Potato Farmers Group, received agricultural products worth K88,000 to help them venture into potato farming.

The funding was from the Australian Aid under the auspices of Strongim Pipol Strongim Nesen program.

Project chairman Steven Karapus said farming tools, seedlings and pesticides were

distributed to 63 households in the community at Pit village on New Year’s eve.

Prior to the distribution, Mr Karapus said the recipients underwent a week of intense training on crop husbandry conducted by the Fresh Produce Development Company. After planting, he said they will undergo two more trainings on financial management and post harvest management.

Mr Karapus thanked Australian Aid and the Australian taxpayers for their efforts in alleviating poverty in his community.

He said his community aims to form a development asso-

ciation to facilitate development objectives. Mr Karapus said 186 potato seedling bags, knack sap sprayers, wheelbarrows, spades, knives and insecticides were distributed.

“This is a step in the right direction. When youths are settled in the communities, law and order and other social problems will be minimised,” Mr Karapus said.

“I also urge Australia to maintain this program because it is helping the grass-roots in our communities,” he said.

He said most people in the community have now realized their abilities after going through trainings on physical, social, emotional, intellectual

and spiritual aspects of their lives. Ward councillor Steven Wani thanked Australian Aid for funding impact projects in his village.

Mr Wani said people are now well versed in proper farming methods and financial literacy because of the timely funding.

He said this is a program that will sustain his community for a long time to come.

Mr Wani took the opportunity to also thank the Australian Government and Western Highlands Provincial Government for their equity.

This community is also spearheading a tree planting drive to eliminate climate change issues.

Association still awaits land title

BY LISA HEBEI THE Eastern Highlands Welfare Association (EHWA) located at Boundary Road in Lae is yet to be given a land title by the Lands Department since its establishment in 2002.

The association has an elementary and kindergarten school established within the premises of its chairman Roy Miringke, who has been recognised for his community service.

Mr Miringke expressed his frustration at the Lands Department because the association has waited almost 13 years for a land title and has not been given a good response from the department.

In 2002 a classroom started underneath his home and another was built on the area of two green houses in his yard. The green houses were for his private company and building classrooms there had affected his busi-

ness. In addition to that he has six children and eight grandchildren and would want his children to have their privacy in his residence. His children had to cope with the overcrowded school for almost 13 years.

He said he had a heart for his people who were over populated and residing in an area that lacked attention and basic services from the government and that is why he had to push through with the association.

The association was recognised by former MPs Lady Carol Kidu (Moresby South) and Bart Philemon (Lae) who released funds for the school.The EHWA

Elementary School was extended onto reserve land underneath a power line which makes it very dangerous for the children.

Meanwhile, his neighbour, a Hagen businessman is also fighting over the reserve land.

The matter has been settled in court in favor of Mr Miringke but it has not been settled in his neighborhood where his neighbour insists on persuing the matter further.

“Can the Minister for Land seriously look into this,” said Mr Miringke.

Seve Wilson, a youth who is a member of EHWA, said that the association has helped him change his mentality to live a good life and believes more youths in the area would receive help from the association and urged the government to not turn a blind eye on this problem because he believes the government would want to see more associations such as this.

Warring villagers told to remain calm

BY GRACE TIDEN

EAST New Britain provincial police commander Superintendent Anthony Wagambie Jr has appealed to villagers in the Bitapaka area of Kokopo to remain calm and not to cause anymore acts of violence.

This follows the recent killing of a young man and burning down and destruction of houses at Vunabaur village and Long plantation in the Bitapaka LLG. “I was involved in the police intervention into the trouble which escalated over what may seem as a land dispute,” Supt Wagambie said.

“We (police) are working very closely with the LLG president of Bitapaka and the ward councillors of both Vunabaur and Ralubang.”

He said he was saddened that this has come about, with the loss of a young life and properties and that it was an unprecedented event which has not been

experienced in this province.

On December 29 a group of men from Ralubang and Vunabaur villages had a confrontation at Long plantation and the fight continued the next day, resulting in the death of a 23-year-old man from Ralubang who was killed by Vunabaur villagers.

Supt Wagambie said during the fight, two walkabout sawmills were damaged. That same day, Ralubang villages raided Vunabaur and burnt down several houses and damaged the community hall.

Mr Wagambie said two men were also seriously injured during the raid. Police were alerted and moved in to contain the situation and investigations started immediately.

He said on Sunday, a truck from Ganai under police escort was stoned and even the police vehicle was also stoned. Two passengers in the truck were injured.

The next day, police headed by the PPC met with leaders from

both villages as well as Bitapaka LLG leaders and appealed to them to hand over the suspects and to find ways to resolve the problem.

Mr Wagambie said suspects for willful murder from Vunabaur have surrendered to police.

Others from Ralubang have also surrendered and they all have been placed in police custody for various offences ranging from arson to wounding.

He said the situation on the ground has calmed down after the surrender of the suspects from both sides but was still tense.

He said police will maintain their presence in the area with support from the Governor of East New Britain Ereman ToBaining, Regional MP Leo Dion and Bitapaka LLG president Cosmos Bauk.

He said criminal proceedings will take place while at the same time leaders were in the process of forming a reconciliation committee to work for peace.

In announcing cabinet’s approval for a State of Emergency to assist PNG Power Limited in recouping millions of kina it is owed, Mr Micah had admitted the entity’s debt level had gone up over the years.

However, he added that this had not entirely been the company’s fault as had been perceived, as there had been other contributing factors including illegal connections and people not paying up despite them using the service.

This he said to be contributing to about 20 per cent of revenue not being collected adding that the

Pacific Islands keen on business in PNG SOME companies that attended the MSG Trade Fair in Port Moresby last month are now making their way to the city to set up their businesses.

The Post-Courier has received reports that about 10 companies from Fiji, Vanuatu and FLNKS who are Small Medium Entrepreneurs including those well established, are now setting their agendas to come

and set up their branch businesses in PNG despite all odds.

Four Fijian businesses have been communicating with the paper since the fair advised this week that they have started their process to set up in Port Moresby.

“Although there is a big process on this one, we are liaising direct with authorities involved and they are very helpful,” they said.

Some businesses include shoe shops, clothings, others include jewels and cosmetic products from their countries, especially from Fiji.

Two Vanuatu businesses also expressed that this is 2015 and they want to come to PNG to explore possibilities of setting up businesses here.

They said although it may take

time, on a business level, taking the risk will mean business for them, however because PNG has the potential for business they are willing to face it.

FLNKS also expressed the same sentiments but advised businesses are yet to show their hands, however those spoken to said that a few business houses have already started exploring the opportunity.

SYDNEY: The Australian dollar hit a one week high after the release of strong building approvals figures.

At 1700 AEDT on Thursday, the local unit was trading at 81.12 US cents, up from 80.73 cents on Wednesday.

Approvals for the construction of new homes rose 7.5 per cent in November, which easily beat economists’ expectations of a three per cent fall.

There were 18,245 approvals granted, the highest monthly result since records began in the 1980s.

RBC senior currency strategist Sue Trinh said the Australian dollar extended the gains it made after US Federal Reserve’s most recent policy meeting showed it was still confident about the economy.

After the Fed meeting, the currency peaked at 81.17 US cents, its highest level since January 2.

“Commodity currencies were well bid, with the Australian dollar outperforming after better than expected domestic data,” Ms Trinh said.

“The firmer trend in the second half of 2014 is undeniable and residential construction is entering 2015 on a firmer footing that we had factored.”

Ms Trinh said the Fed statement showed the central bank is maintaining a patient stance on the timing of its next interest rate rise, which most observers expect will be in the middle of this year. “The Fed saw global risks as nearly balanced and remains bullish on the US consumer,” she said.

The next key events for markets will be the release of weekly initial jobless claims data from the US and the Bank of England monetary policy meeting - both are due out during the offshore session on Friday night.

At 1700 AEDT, the Australian dollar was at 97.12 Japanese yen, up from Wednesday’s close of 95.95 yen, and at 68.64 euro cents, up from 67.96 euro cents.

Meanwhile, bond futures prices were lower.

St George chief economist Besa Deda said bond prices fell and share markets rose as market optimism returned.

The bottom line From 2008 to 2030, world energy consumption is expected to increase more than 55%.

Vanilla industry faces decline in production

BY ABRAHAM AVEDIBA THERE has been a marked decrease in the production of vanilla for the last 12 years despite a huge increase in demand from the international market.

Intec Vanilla Niugini (IVN), one of the country’s Lae based exporters made this known during an interview with the Post-Courier yesterday.

IVN export manageress Abenie Bautista said there to have been a huge interest on the part of farmers during 2003 and this to have been in-

At a glance VANILLA DECREASE: Production of vanilla over the last 12 years has declined despite an increase in demand from the international market with farmers are slowly moving away from farming this crop. dicative in the number of local farmers that had been coming into the factory to sell their vanilla. “Many of the vanilla farmers are mainly from the Momase area and we’ve no-

ticed that many are starting to slowly move away from farming this crop.

“One of the main contributing factors to the decline is the fact that farming vanilla is strenuous, and it requires a long period of time for it to be ready for harvest, unlike other cash crops such as cocoa and coffee,” Ms Bautista said.

Mrs Bautista said there is a huge demand from clients in Australia, Europe and SouthEast Asia, but there is minimal revenue coming from the industry itself.

She stated also that pricing

to be another contributing factor leading to the decline in production.

“The international market price for vanilla has dropped but we’ve kept the prices at which we are buying from them at the same level, so that farmers don’t feel burdened and continue farming this commodity.”

Despite these challenges, the vanilla exporters in the country are currently making attempts to provide assistance through training and various incentives, to encourage local farmers to continue farming.

LOs irked by lack of involvement in project

BY ABRAHAM AVEDIBA LANDOWNERS from Morobe province have raised some grave concerns in relation to the government driven- Lae Tidal Basin Project Two separate meetings were convened yesterday and by clans from Butibam village following statements made by the Minister for Public Investment and State Owned Enterprises Ben Micah.

Mr Micah had stated local participation to be important and would be so in light of earlier concerns raised by the people of Morobe.

20 Post-Courier, Friday, January 9, 2015

During the meeting held by the Wapicguhu clan, the chairman Willard Bogan Ahi had vented the clan’s frustration over the project.

“The first thing that I’d like to raise is despite announcements of work commencing on Phase Two of the Lae Tidal basin Project, we haven’t been involved in any of the negotiation process that has taken place.

“This is due to the fact that they’ve not settled the issue of who the land rightfully belongs to,” Mr Ahi said.

Mr Ahi said Butibam landowners were neither notified

of the completion, nor were they invited to the official completion ceremony of Phase One of the project.

He also made reference to money spent on the relocation exercise of the illegal settlers to be unfair on their part.

“Prior to the commencement of Phase One of the project, IPBC and the government assisted almost 3,200 illegal settlers with K30 each and this amounted to K96 million.

“Such funding should have also been given to Butibam villagers because the majority of these settlers haven’t gone home.

“They’ve come and settled in parts of the city, including our village, and they are creating more headaches in the community,” he added.

He appealed to the government to look seriously into the matter as it could lead to interruptions of the four-lane project and Phase Two of the tidal basin project, if not dealt with fairly.

Meanwhile, a senior officer in IPBC who wished to remain anonymous said this issue is one that all stake holders are currently looking at to resolve.

NSL to launch new website

BY ABRAHAM AVEDIBA NAMBAWAN Super Limited (NSL) will be relaunching their new website next week which contains several new features, says NSL. NSL chief executive officer Garry Tunstall told the PostCourier it had taken them over a period of six months to improve the new website and the firm is currently making a few amendments to ensure the website does not face issues.

“The website features a calculator where members can calculate what their long term savings would be, given a certain interest rate and also what their contribution is.

“So if they’ve got knowledge of how much they are going to contribute, whether it’s six per cent or 15 per cent of their salary, they can put that into the calculator.

“And it’ll show how much they’ll earn, on a predetermined earning rate over a

period of 10 to 15 years, so they’ll know how much they’ll have when they retire,” Mr Tunstall said.

Mr Tunstall also said that the feature will brighten up the existing website and ensure that it has got all the information members need.

“They’ll also be fed with information on whose on the board of directors, who the trustees are, what the companies policies and requirements are and so forth,” he added.

Mr Tunstall further stated that there were a few challenges they faced in setting up the website.

“Getting all the information accurate and ensuring that the calculator operates smoothly, was one of the big challenges that we faced, but we’re happy to have overcome them,” he said.

Meanwhile, the company will be declaring its 2014 dividends at its board meeting on February 28 this year.

Rural based business launches new product Established in 2005, Alekano Savings and Loan Society is the only rural-based credit union in the country licensed by the Bank of Papua New Guinea under the Savings and Loan Societies Act. It was fi rst initiated by the village people of the Gehamo Gahuku Tribe outside Goroka and was officially launched by the then Governor of the Bank of PNG, Sir. Wilson Kamit. It began operation out of a tin shed at 5 mile Kefamo village and in 2009, moved into Goroka town to serve the wider Eastern Highlands community.

Alekano in the local Goroka dialect means “bring it over”.

The Society has over 12,000 members and a board of six directors elected by the members. The operation of the Society is led by General Manager Reuben Elijah with a staff of twenty people.

The Society’s head office is in Goroka and it has a subbranch in Lufa in Heganofi district.

There are plans to extend branches to other districts of Eastern Highlands Province as well as into Lae and Port Moresby.

The Society offers a wide range of products including General Savings, Trans-

action Account and Fixed Term Deposit (FTD).

It will be introducing the School Saver Account this year through its school banking program and a Retirement Insurance Savings Account for working class people through their employers. Interest paid on savings range from 1.00 % to 2.5% per annum for FTD. Loans include personal and business loans with interest of 1% on reducing balance monthly. Loans range from K200 to K80, 000.

The Society also manages the Eastern Highlands Women Credit Scheme initiated by Eastern Highlands Governor Julie Soso. Loans to empower women to engage in micro and small enterprises under this scheme are given on the ratio of 1:5 at the cheapest interest rate of 6% per annum.

Applications for loans under this scheme are facilitated through the Eastern Highlands Women Council.

The Society also manages the Okapa District Credit Scheme initiated by the MP for Okapa Electorate, Hon. Isaac Waigavara.

Alekano is considering a new Coffee Loan Product and hopes to launch it this year if all goes well with counterpart funding from the provincial government.

Market access increasingly gains importance Market access is increasingly gaining importance in developing countries for several reasons. It affords an opportunity for reducing poverty; improving food security; creating and strengthening income; and generating employment and job retention. Market access can also benefit most small businesses and enterprises, semi-subsistence producers and consumers. It can be used to promote economic justice and empowerment for women, who participate significantly in many informal activities such as agriculture and local trading.

In Papua New Guinea (PNG), many important sources of income and livelihoods such as market trade are regarded as informal or even illegal, and — more critically — the importance of the roles of the market and informal economy are not given due recognition. Despite the large extent of engagement of the local population in the informal economy (INA, 2001), it is yet too limited in scope, variety and contribution to national output (Conroy, 2011).

Therefore, there is a need to give priority to the development of the informal sector and the local economy. In 2011, a National Informal Economy Policy was put in place to boost the informal economy to be a full and legitimate partner of the formal economy in PNG. The objective is to position the informal economy as the grassroots expression of private enterprise from two ‘arms’: fi nancial inclusion and public goods (The Independent State of PNG, 2011). The policy also explicitly supports the transition of the rural economy from subsistence agriculture to high-value market activities, and the incorporation of household farming activities into supply chains. While studies have illustrated the extent to which the informal economy contributes to household incomes and livelihoods, the process by which informal and micro businesses become formal businesses and contribute to the local economy at large remains a concern. This research aims to contribute to the implementation of the National Informal Economy Policy from the perspective of women’s participation and business advancement in the local market or economy. It addresses questions such as: • What value/supply chains exist for local products in the markets and who are the stakeholders in the supply chain?

• What are the assets that businesswomen possess?

• What are the factors and constraints in women’s advancement from semi subsistence to more established microenterprises and small business?

The research identifies the linkages between rural production and markets.

KETAN LAWYERS MEDIA/PRESS RELEASE RE:

CURRENT STATUS OF HONOURABLE HAVILA KAVO, MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT AND GOVERNOR FOR GULF PROVINCE

We regret that we should have to issue this Press Release but it is inevitable given the varying and mixed reactions to the release of the Governor for Gulf Province, Honourable Havila Kavo, MP from Prison on 23rd December, 2014.

“VACATION OF OFFICE OF THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNOR (1)

SUPREME COURT APPEAL

Performance of duties of Public Office held by him, Prospect of success of his Appeal, and Delay in hearing and determination of his Appeal.

Copies of the Court’s Published Judgement can be obtained from our office on reasonable and satisfactory request from genuine people.

In granting Bail, the Court issued (inter-alia) the following Directions;

resigns his office by written notice to the Minister responsible for Provincial Government and LocalLevel Government matters; or

(d) In this case, Honourable Havila Kavo, relied on three (3) grounds as constituting exceptional circumstances and they were as follows;

His Honour the Chief Justice, Sir Salamo Injia in a considered and well balanced Judgement in concluding his Judgement stated at Page 5 of his Published Judgement that the, ‘aggregate totality of these factors do constitute exceptional circumstances to warrant bail’ and ‘the interest of Justice in terms of the incarceration of a convicted felon in circumstances where he has a high chance of success in his Appeal against conviction, is the dominant consideration in the circumstances of this particular case, and that factor militates in favour of grant of bail.’

he shall be deemed to have vacated the office of the Governor.”

(Emphasis added) The relevant circumstance of vacancy is Section 19(1) (e). None of the other circumstances in Section 19(1) (a) to (d) inclusive is applicable here.

Honourable Havila Kavo is Governor for Gulf Province by virtue of him being the Member of the National Parliament representing the Provincial Seat of Gulf Province.

DISQUALIFICATION FROM OFFICE

(i)

(ii)

That the substantive Appeal in SCRA No. 35 of 2014 is fixed for Directions for Listing on 13th February, 2015 at 9:30 am.

That the Appeal shall be prosecuted in the April 2015 Sittings of the Supreme Court.

Circumstances under which a Governor of a Province who holds office pursuant to Section 17(2) of the Organic Law such as Hon. Havila Kavo, can be disqualified or cease to be a Governor are provided for in Section 103 of the Constitution, Section 103 relevantly states;

POSITION OF PROVINCIAL GOVERNOR Section 17 of the Organic Law on Provincial Governments and Local Level Governments (The Organic Law) establishes the position of the Provincial Governor and is in these terms; “(1)

An Office of a Provincial Governor in each Province is hereby established.

(2)

Subject to this Organic Law, the Member of the National Parliament representing the Provincial Electorate shall be the Provincial Governor.”

Accordingly, Honourable Havila Kavo, MP as Member of Parliament representing the Provincial Electorate of Gulf Provincial Seat is automatically the Governor for Gulf Province by operation of law.

“103 QUALIFICATIONS FOR AND DISQUALIFICATIONS FROM MEMBERSHIP”

(4)

Section 19 of the Organic Law makes provision for the vacation of the office of the Provincial Governor and relevantly states; (a)

26 Post-Courier, Friday, January 9, 2015

(5)

The reference in Subsection (4), to appeals and to the statutory period allowed for appeals shall, where there is provision for a series of appeals, be read as references to each appeal and to the statutory period allowed for each appeal.

(6)

…

(7)

In this Section“appeal” includes any form of judicial appeal or judicial review; “statutory period allowed for appeals” means a definite period allowed by law for appeals, whether or not it is capable of extension, but does not include an extension of such a definite period ranted or that may be granted unless it is granted within that definite period.”

(Emphasis added)

(c)

(i) (ii) (iii)

If an appeal is lodged within the period referred to in paragraph (a), the appeal is determined.

If the Provincial Governor(a)

On 23rd December, 2014, His Honour, the Chief Justice of Papua New Guinea, Sir Salamo Injia granted Honourable Havila Kavo bail pending the final determination of his Appeal.

(b)

(1) (2) (3)

… …

A person is not qualified to be, or to remain, a Member of Parliament if-

(a) (b) (c)

… …

Subject to Subsections (4) to (7), he is under sentence of death or imprisonment for a period of more than nine months; or

Where a person is under sentence of death or imprisonment for a period of nine months, the operation of Subsection (3) (c) is suspended untilThe end of any statutory period allowed for appeals against the conviction or sentence; or

On 9th December, 2014 the National Court imposed Sentence of more than nine (9) months. Hon. Havila Kavo would have been disqualified to continue to be a Member of Parliament by virtue of Section 103(3)(c) of the Constitution but, because he had on 29th October, 2014 appealed against the conviction of 24th September, 2014, well prior to the imposition of Sentence on 9th December, 2014, the operation of Section 103(c) was ineffective. Indeed the contrary effect set in, in that the operation of Subsection (3)(c) was suspended until the appeal is determined.

CURRENT LEGAL STATUS OR POSITION The current and, (according to our understanding of the Law) the correct legal position is that Hon. Havila Kavo is by virtue of Section 103(4)(b) of the Constitution still a Member of Parliament thus, Governor for the Gulf Province pending or subject to the final determination of his Appeals against both conviction and sentence.

Therefore, Honourable Havila Kavo is by operation of law, still the legal Governor for the Gulf Province despite his conviction and sentence by the National Court which are now the subject of pending respective Appeals before the Supreme Court.

CONCLUSION Whilst we appreciate and acknowledge people’s right of freedom of expression guaranteed by Section 46 of the Constitution, we warn people to be careful lest their conduct verges on contempt of Court and defamation of character.

Critics need to appreciate that Governor Hon. Havila Kavo, MP is entitled to have his conviction and sentence by the National Court reviewed by the Supreme Court according to Law pursuant to Section 37(15) of the Constitution and Sections 4 (1) and 22 (a) and (b) of the Supreme Court Act and the Supreme Court Rules.

We trust that this now clarifies any doubts that the Public, especially the people of the Gulf Province may have had as to the current legal status or position of Honourable Havila Kavo, MP, Member and Governor for the Gulf Province.

For want of clarity and the avoidance of any doubt, be it known that there is no vacancy in the position of Governor for the Gulf Province.

However, should anyone have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact our Mr. Simon Ketan on telephone 320 2177 or 7687 5632. ………………….

HEAVY rain cause water to flow at Sampson Flat fire ground. Picture: ABC

Rain helps ease threats of bushfire THE number of homes lost in the Adelaide Hills bushfire has been been downgraded from 32 to 27, and the Prime Minister has announced a new disaster payment for affected residents.

Tony Abbott toured the One Tree Hill Command Centre with South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill this morning.

Mr Weatherill pledged $1 million worth of assistance, while Mr Abbott announced an Australian disaster recovery payment of $1,000 per adult and $400 per child for bushfire victims who lost their homes or had their homes severely damaged by the fires.

People will have six months to apply for the payment.

Those who have lost income because of the disaster are also able to apply for 13 weeks of payment through the Australian disaster recovery allowance.

Mr Abbott said it was estimated hundreds of people would qualify for these payments and it would cost $4 million over the coming year.

He said he was confident the allowance, along with State Government assistance programs and bushfire appeals, would help families get back on their feet.

“While you can never really bring back the memories which go up in smoke, you can never really bring back all of those things which are so precious to people, I am confident that that which money can restore, will be restored,” Mr Abbott said.

The Prime Minister also paid tribute

to the crews who have worked hard to fight the fire.

“While we grieve with those who have lost, we can nevertheless feel proud of the efforts that have been put in,” Mr Abbott said.

“And we can be relieved that a disaster which looked potentially catastrophic on Saturday afternoon has to a considerable extent been averted because of the magnificent work of the people who are represented here in this fire control centre.”

The 240-kilometre perimeter of the bushfire is now 100 per cent contained and the major emergency declaration has been lifted.

Up to 30 millimetres of rain has fallen on the Adelaide Hills fire ground, assisting firefighters trying to fully contain the blaze.

CFS chief officer Greg Nettleton said there was still work to be done at a number of hotspots within the fire’s perimeter.

He has asked residents in the area to call triple-0 if they see any flames or heavy smoke coming from trees in the bushfire area over the coming weeks.

Mr Nettleton also thanked other emergency services and charities for their support of CFS crews.

“The fact that nobody has been killed by the fire or seriously burned is testament to the fact that we got warnings out early to the community, the community acted appropriately, people chose to leave when they assessed the danger,” he said.

New jails to tackle prisoner numbers

NEW prisons could be built to cope with a growing prison population in New South Wales, Premier Mike Baird has said.

The Public Service Association (PSA) has warned of a crisis due to changes to bail laws which could see jails reach their combined capacity of about 11,000 people.

There are currently around 10,500 inmates in jails across the state.

The union has rejected a government plan to build modulars or demountable cells that could be used for medium-security prisoners where needed.

But Mr Baird said that was not the only answer.

“Whether it be looking at increased capacity for our prisons, potentially new prisons, but at the same time looking at these modulars,” he said.

“There’s a whole range of options that we are considering and we will continue to consider.”

“It’s [the modulars] a new approach. It’s one that we’re opening and considering obviously as part of the overall strategy.

“There’s a number of strategies we’re considering.

We’ve seen prison numbers fall in a dramatic way.

“We have seen them now start to increase and, like any responsible government, we’re taking appropriate actions to ensure that we have the capacity to deal with our prisoners.”

Stephen McMahon from the PSA said if new prison’s were not built, the safety of inmates and prison staff was at risk.

“I don’t believe the prison system can cope with even an increase to 12,000,” Mr McMahon said.

“The area within the jails is just not conducive to a good safe environment and when I mean safe, I mean it’s not safe for the people in custody and it’s certainly not safe for staff.

“It creates a very unsafe work environment when you put more inmates into the system than what it’s designed to hold.”

And Mr McMahon said he believed demountables were equally dangerous.

“In protecting the prison officers in the system you have to think of what the inmates need, because when they are frustrated they lash out,” he said.

“What it does is it puts all the pressures onto all of those things, all the infrastructure such as the education, the work.” – ABC

Solomons to set up graft entity THE prime minister of Solomon Islands says an independent commission will be set up to investigate corruption allegations against politicians and government officials.

Manesseh Sogavare (pictured right) made the announcement in his New Year’s message to the nation.

Mr Sogavare said the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) would also introduce anticorruption legislation and subsidiary regulations.

Anti-corruption watchdog Transparency Solomon Islands has welcomed the government’s decision.

“An ICAC will put a stop to the corrupters, whether its an offering or receiving of a bribe to do a dishonest practice,” executive officer Daniel Fenua told Pacific Beat.

“It will also ensure that resources are harvested sustainably and services are delivered.”

Mr Fenua wanted to see more details about the government’s plan for an independent commission and hoped it would also be retrospective.

“One of the steps the government really needs to look at is to reactivate cases, there are a lot of allegations in the past that have not yet surfaced, that have not been inves-

tigated.” Solomon Islands opposition leader Jeremiah Manele said it fully supported the establishment of an ICAC. Speaking to Solomon Star Newspaper, Mr Manele said corruption in the public sector had gone undetected and unchecked for many years, causing serious damage to the nation.

The announcement comes after recent comments by outgoing high court judge, Australian Justice Stephen Pallaras that an ICAC was required in Solomon Islands more than “any other country on the planet”. – ABC

GOLD COAST comment Race one

Race two

OUR GARDY (D J Bougoure) 4g By Real Saga – Generality (8:0-4-2): Given let-up after 6-1/2 len 12th (56.5) Polynikes 1400m Sunshine Coast E&G C1 Good(3) trk Dec 3. Placed two from three this circuit and drawn ideally. Shouldn’t be underestimated.

SINCEMYBABYLEFTME (D Hayes & T Dabernig) 4g By Sequalo – Just Browsing (7:0-2-2): Led and fought on well with big weight 1-1/4 len 2nd (58.5) Hippodrome 1412m Echuca Mdn Good(4) trk Aug 18.

Resuming and fitter for close 2nd in 850m Tatura barrier trial a month ago. Raced consistently last prep. One of the key chances.

COMIC STORY (Ms G Heinrich) 3c By Real Saga – Amusements (1:0-10): Fought on well at debut 1/2 nk 2nd (55.5) Oceantes 1015m Ipswich 3yo Mdn Plt Good(3) trk Dec 17. Has enough early speed to cope with wide alley and trained locally. Will be in it for a long way.

ELJETEM (Bruce Hill) 3g By Jet Spur – El Manto (8:0-1-1): Spelled after 4-1/2 len 5th (58.0) Yeager 1600m E Farm 3yo Good(3) trk Aug 2.

Resumes as a gelding and fitter for 3rd in 1000m Deagon barrier trial three weeks ago. Drawn out but betting moves should be monitored.

HOMEHILL (K M Schweida) 3g By Chateau Istana (GB) – Sui Generis (7:0-3-1): Didn’t look comfortable in going 2-1/2 len 6th (57.0) Mywayorthehighway 1300m Gold Coast Vo Rogue Plt Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Ignore last run when he wasn’t suited in conditions. Has plenty of ability and can bounce back here with blinkers on first time if he strikes a firmer surface.

HOSTWIN PEGASUS (G W Moore) 3g By Choisir – Aurum Valley (3:01-0): Spelled after 4-1/2 len 6th (59.0) Bullpit 1000m M Valley 2yo Good(4) trk Mar 29. Primed for this with runaway win in 1030m R’hill barrier trial a couple of weeks ago. Oliver booking first up is a strong lead. Rates highly.

I’M ALONE (B R Guy) 3g By Jet Spur – Yabeel (NZ) (7:0-3-1): No match 4 len 2nd (58.5) Star Drop 1200m Ipswich 3yo Mdn Good(3) trk Nov 5.

Back from a let-up and primed for this winning 1000m Gold Coast barrier trial three weeks ago. Drawn ideally with Berry aboard. Right in this.

LARABEE (A J Edmonds) 3g By Real Saga – In Her Shoes (2:0-1-0): Tried hard 3/4 len 2nd (57.0) Executed 1300m Rockhampton 2yo Plt Good(3) trk June 21. Resuming and fitter for 3rd in 1000m trial here three weeks ago. Drawn the rails with Browne aboard. Will give this a shake.

MAVERICKS (Tony McEvoy) 3g By Northern Meteor – Noesis (4:0-0-1): Spelled after 2 len, 3/4 len 3rd (56.5) The Big Rig, Mana 1400m Kembla Grange 2yo Mdn Good(3) trk July 8. Resumes as a gelding and on target for this winning 740m R’wick barrier trial a month ago. Will have plenty of admirers after stylish trial win.

SLIPPERY SAGA (Ms H Page) 3g By Real Saga – Mossvana (3:0-1-2): Tried hard sht nk 2nd (57.0) First Draft 1400m Beaudesert 3yo Mdn Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Makes his own luck and racing consistently in first prep. Drawn a bit awkwardly but can give some cheek at good odds.

AMBITIOUS BLONDE (T J Gollan) 3f By Falvelon – Heart’s Purring (2:01-0): Worked home ok when resuming 1/2 len 4th (59.0) Knightwick Manor 1000m Sunshine Coast 3yoF Mdn Good(3) trk Dec 26. Sent out odds-on first up but was never in the right spot after messy start. Better drawn here with 4.5kg less to carry. Right in this.

EEJAY STYLE (L F Birchley) 3f By Wicked Style (US) – Ailish (3:0-1-1): Worked home ok when resuming 2 len, 2-3/4 len 3rd (57.0) Heart Command, Duchess Molly 1200m Sunshine Coast 3yoF Mdn Good(3) trk Dec 21. Did enough first up and will strip much fitter. Wouldn’t surprise to see her figure in the finish with blinkers on first time.

FELL FROM HEAVEN (M T Eggleston) 3f By Falvelon – Seventh Heaven (5:0-2-2): Out of her depth 6 len 11th (56.5) Savoureux 1200m D’ben Mode Plt Soft(5) trk Dec 6. Kept up to the mark since last run winning 900m trial here three weeks ago. Wide alley no help. Place preferred.

FIFTYSHADESDARKER (L F Birchley) 3f By Jet Spur – Shiraki (8:0-13): Blew start and blocked for run when resuming 2-1/2 len 8th (55.5) Knightwick Manor 1000m Sunshine Coast 3yoF Mdn Good(3) trk Dec 26. Not much went right first up and run can be excused. Worth another chance from ideal alley with last run under her belt.

SAGATONA (L F Birchley) 3f By Real Saga – Miss Cortona (8:0-1-2): Spelled after 15-3/4 len last (55.0) Almalad 1600m E Farm JJ Atkins Good(3) trk June 7. Resuming and runner-up in Ken Russell Memorial at black-type level here during the carnival. Couldn’t have drawn a worse gate but can’t be left out of the picture.

VINNIE LOVES ME (K C Wood) 3f By Haradasun – Love’s Great (3:0-21): Ran on well but winner was off and gone 3-1/4 len 2nd (52.5) Max It Out 1350m D’ben Mdn Plt Good(4) trk Jan 1. Showing promise in her first racing campaign. Cahill booking will help offset awkward draw.

Not the worst.

ELLE LOU (M, W & J Hawkes) 3f By Snitzel – Snipify (4:0-1-0): Tried hard 3/4 len 2nd (57.5) Minnesota 1100m Hawkesbury 3yoF Mdn Good(3) trk Nov 21. Given let-up after last run and fitter for 6th in 900m R’hill barrier trial three weeks ago. Drawn poorly but can measure up on best southern form.

DUCHESS MOLLY (M J Dunn) 3f By Real Saga – Galena Lodge (4:01-1): Ran home well when resuming 2 len 2nd (57.0) Heart Command 1200m Sunshine Coast 3yoF Mdn Good(3) trk Dec 21. Pleasing effort first up and kept fresh for this assignment. Can run a cheeky race at good odds.

WE WANT PRENUP (Ben Ahrens) 4m By Snippetson – Wedding Belle (2:0-1-0): Made up ground when resuming 2-3/4 len 4th (57.0) Rosie’s Command 1000m Sunshine Coast F&M Mdn Plt Soft(6) trk Dec 19.

Pleasing effort first up after spending more than a year on the sidelines.

Better for that run and could sneak into the placings at big odds.

ITALIAN STORM (A J Edmonds) 3f By Nicconi – Mizzle (US) (6:0-1-0): Went down narrowly nk 2nd (55.0) Sleep Tight 1200m Gold Coast 2yo Mdn Good(3) trk July 5. Resuming and primed for this winning 1000m trial here three weeks ago. Trained locally and capable of pulling out a good run fresh with blinkers back on.

ON DEMAND (P Duff) 3c By Snippetson – She’s In Demand (12:0-4-0): Tried hard len 2nd (56.5) Banksy 1300m Sunshine Coast Mdn Soft(7) trk Dec 28. Latest form hasn’t been too bad. Worth including in multiples.

TINTO (R G Lipp) 4m By Red Dazzler – Truly Brave (16:4-3-1): Fought on well with huge weight 1-1/2 len, lg nk 3rd (59.5) Tarloshan, Breakfast In Bed 1350m D’ben Just Now Qlty Soft(5) trk Dec 13. Wouldn’t be denied 3/4 len win (58.0) Tarloshan, Time To Plunder 1625m Toowoomba Bernborough Hcp Soft(5) trk Dec 31. Flying this campaign and won the Bracelet only previous start this circuit. No easy task giving weight to the males from outside alley but in cracking form. Will be hard to hold out.

AMOVATIO (C J Waller) 4g By Al Maher – Grand Ovation (22:5-7-4): Ran home gamely to just miss when heavily backed nose 2nd (56.0) Beauty’s Beast 1400m R’hill (Bm95) Soft(6) trk Dec 6. Knuckled down well 3/4 len win (54.5) Scream Machine, Black Jag 1550m C’bury Hcp Good(3) trk Dec 27. Flying this campaign and last run was a great pointer for this. Up in weight but drawn the rails with Oliver aboard. Will go close.

GOLDSLICK (L F Birchley) 6m By Bradbury’s Luck – Alleged Encounter (42:10-1-3): Worked home ok 3-3/4 len 4th (54.0) Hopfgarten 1600m D’ben Brisbane Hcp Soft(5) trk Dec 13. Finished gamely sht nk win (54.0) Avalanches, Double Impact 1800m Gold Coast Open Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Had the softer run and the last crack last time to post an overdue win. Likes soft tracks and rock solid in condition. Rates highly.

NOISY OCEAN (B R Guy) 6g By Shovhog – Hepburn Rose (NZ) (52:8-92): Pulled up sore after 8-3/4 len 12th (54.0) Hopfgarten 1600m D’ben Brisbane Hcp Soft(5) trk Dec 13. Too wet 6-1/4 len 6th (56.0) Goldslick 1800m Gold Coast Open Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Won this race last year. Had conditions against him last start and might strike similar going here.

Hard to have unless the track dries out quickly.

OUR BOY NICHOLAS (A J Edmonds) 4h By More Than Ready (US) – Presenting (13:6-1-1): Tried his heart out 3/4 len 2nd (56.0) Handyman Bob 1350m D’ben C6 Soft(5) trk Dec 13. Surged clear 2-1/4 len win (55.0) Auguste, Under The Leaner 1600m Sunshine Coast C6 Plt Good(3) trk Dec 26. Going great guns since a let-up and cherry ripe for this which has been his target all along. McDonald key booking. Placed to perfection.

DANAS BEST (Ms G Waterhouse) 5g By Danasinga – Best Promise (18:6-2-1): Spelled after 1-1/2 len 4th (54.0) Ecuador 1400m R’hill (Bm95) Soft(6) trk Feb 15. Not bad when resuming 3-1/4 len 4th (57.5) Vashka 1500m R’hill (Bm85) Good(3) trk Dec 20. Did enough first up from lengthy break. Stable has a good record in this race. Only has to cope with wide alley to keep them honest.

OFF THE RAILS (Bjorn Baker) 4g By Snitzel – It’s You (17:5-3-4): Got the bob in at right time nose win (57.0) Magical Stance, Frespanol 1500m R’hill (Bm78) Soft(6) trk Dec 6. Worried out of it 1/2 nk 2nd (59.5) Phrases 1900m R’hill Plate Good(3) trk Dec 20. Form out of last race has stood up and kept ticking over with 2nd in 1200m R’wick barrier trial last week. Will appreciate carrying 5.5kg less. One of the key chances.

EQUISSENTIAL (N O Saunders) 7g By Jet Spur – Belle Of The Ball (IR) (75:10-8-6): Poor 9-1/2 len last (56.0) Tornado Miss 1650m D’ben (Bm85) Good(3) trk Dec 5. Worked home ok 2 len 5th (54.0) Tinto 1625m Toowoomba Bernborough Hcp Soft(5) trk Dec 31. Better signs last time at his home track but record this track is poor. Prefer others.

BLACK JET (L F Birchley) 5g By Jet Spur – Black Velvet (FR) (16:5-04): Not bad 3-1/4 len 4th (58.0) Magnapal 1600m Sandown-Lakeside (Bm84) Good(3) trk Nov 19. Best work late 1-1/4 len 5th (55.5) Little Bit Ditsy 1615m D’ben Rst2 Good(4) trk Dec 20. Ran well for 4th in this race last year. Last run didn’t go unnoticed which was his first hitout for a month and will top him off nicely for this. Represents value.

TORNADO MISS (T J Gollan) 4m By Snitzel – Stormy Miss (20:4-3-1): Fought back bravely after being headed hd win (54.0) Lock’s Legend, Home To The Bride 1650m D’ben (Bm85) Good(3) trk Dec 5. Struggling 3 len 7th (54.0) Little Bit Ditsy 1615m D’ben Rst2 Good(4) trk Dec 20.

Couldn’t win when she couldn’t lead last time. Likely to push forward again but not guaranteed to secure the frontrunning role. Take on trust.

ROYAL JESTER (L F Birchley) 5g By Seidnazar – Rippa Royale (22:4-34): Never going to lose 2-1/4 len win (54.5) Lock’s Legend, Lucky Lucre 1615m D’ben C6 Plt Good(4) trk Nov 22. Kept finding line 3/4 len 4th (55.0) Little Bit Ditsy 1615m D’ben Rst2 Good(4) trk Dec 20. Hampered by winner straightening up last time and did well to keep running on.

Worth including in multiples.

KISS ME DEADLY (M A Kropp) 7g By Snippetson – Kililing (64:8-134): Out of his depth 6-1/2 len 10th (54.0) Hopfgarten 1600m D’ben Brisbane Hcp Soft(5) trk Dec 13. Poor 16 len 11th (54.0) Tinto 1625m Toowoomba Bernborough Hcp Soft(5) trk Dec 31. Blew start then did too much work early last time. Record this track isn’t flash. Prefer in easier company.

UNIQUE (K A Lees) 4g By Henny Hughes (US) – Madame Flurry (12:3-12): Solid but not spectacular 2-1/4 len, 1-1/2 len 3rd (56.0) Astronomos, Saghann 1900m R’hill Rst1 Heavy(8) trk Dec 12. Finished gamely 1/2 len win (57.5) Jitterbug, Vitello 1600m R’wick Rst2 Good(4) trk Dec 26.

Appreciated dry track last time as well as being ridden a touch further back. Wide alley is an issue but can’t be ignored with 3.5kg less to carry.

METEOROLOGIST (Marcus Wilson) 4g By Northern Meteor – Buxom Babe (24:5-1-2): Worked home ok but gave away impossible start 2-3/4 len 7th (57.5) Putapavonit 1800m Sunshine Coast (Bm70) Good(3) trk Dec 26. Wouldn’t be denied 3/4 len win (54.0) Rocbolt, Tracey’s Angel 1800m Gold Coast Rst1 Soft(5) trk Jan 3. Taking on stronger company here but outstanding record this circuit keeps him in contention.

Knockout chance.

CASARATI (Bruce Hill) 4h By Red Dazzler – Mountain Mist (24:3-4-6): Bumped into superior wet tracker 5 len 2nd (54.0) Avalanches 1800m Gold Coast (Bm85) Heavy(9) trk Dec 13. Ran on well but winner was off and gone 2-1/2 len 2nd (56.5) Prussian Heart 1700m Ipswich C4 Good(3) trk Dec 24. Racing consistently and this is his ideal distance range. Weight drop in his favour. Not hopeless.

TRY FOUR (C J Williamson) 4g By Fastnet Rock – Allow (15:4-3-3): Too tough for his rivals 2 len win (54.5) Highly Gentle, Dunlap 2200m Sunshine Coast C3 Plt Good(3) trk Dec 10. Finished gamely 1-1/2 len win (56.0) Somerset Lass, Star Formation 2200m Sunshine Coast (Bm70) Good(3) trk Dec 21. Came from off the pace last time after saddle slipped adding more merit to his victory. This is his acid test but has never raced better and undefeated in two starts here. Value hope.

CABALLO RAPIDO (David Murphy) 5g By Husson (AR) – Flying Alice (41:4-8-3): Made ground steadiliy 5-1/4 len 9th (54.0) Handyman Bob 1350m D’ben Rst1 Good(4) trk Dec 20. Ordinary 9-3/4 len 8th (57.0) Midnight Allure 1640m D’ben (70) Good(4) trk Jan 1. Extremely disappointing last time after tidy effort at his previous start. Others have a lot more to recommend.

CRAMMING (John Thompson) 4g By More Than Ready (US) – Memorisation (NZ) (13:3-1-1): Finished strongly 1-3/4 len win (55.5) Clever Boy, Attitudinal Miss 1600m Sunshine Coast C3 Soft(7) trk Dec 14. Ran home gamely to just miss nk 2nd (57.5) Putapavonit 1800m Sunshine Coast (Bm70) Good(3) trk Dec 26. Going well in much easier company but meeting much stronger company here. Rough place hope at best.

GENTLEMAN JACK (B Herne) 4g By Show A Heart – Vallee Blanche (IR) (10:2-3-0): Finished strongly 3/4 len win (59.0) San Clemente, Endoy 1600m Sunshine Coast C1 Good(4) trk Dec 7. Led from outside alley and couldn’t go on 1-3/4 len 5th (57.5) Putapavonit 1800m Sunshine Coast (Bm70) Good(3) trk Dec 26. Ridden upside down last start and run can be excused. Likely to get a softer run from this draw but would prefer in easier company.

Softened up most of the way first up and drifting off the fence proved very costly. Bowman key booking. Can go one better.

TUKIYO (L Morrison) 5m By Haradasun – Star Of Gibraltar (19:6-2-0): Fought on well 2-1/4 len 4th (54.0) Phelan Ready 1200m D’ben Open Good(4) trk Dec 20.

Won here four runs back. Rates highly.

DISCREET (K M Schweida) 5m By Show A Heart – Lady Danzero (35:84-2): Ran into dead end 150m and forgive 6 len 10th (54.5) Tarloshan 1350m D’ben Just Now Qlty Soft(5) trk Dec 13. Never in it 10-3/4 len last (59.0) Tukiyo 1200m Toowoomba F&M Qlty Soft(5) trk Dec 31. Failed to adapt to the uphill track last time and might be wise to be a bit forgiving.

Likes soft tracks and drawn ideally. One more chance.

PLAYTIME (Todd Austin) 6m By Foreplay – Boganvillia (NZ) (39:4-6-5): Kept trying 2 len 4th (54.0) Tarloshan 1350m D’ben Just Now Qlty Soft(5) trk Dec 13. Fought on ok 1/2 len, 2-1/4 len 3rd (57.5) Breakfast In Bed, Endless Shadow 1400m Gold Coast F&M (Bm85) Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Didn’t look entirely comfortable in the going last time but stuck to her task quite well. Runner-up in this race two years ago. Value hope.

ANNA LIZZIE (D J Bougoure) 5m By Mearas – Strange Aura (NZ) (17:6-2-0): Blew start and never featured when resuming 3-1/2 len 8th (55.5) Little Brown Horse 1300m Sunshine Coast F&M Good(4) trk June 28. Spelled after 5-1/4 len 7th (55.5) Discreet 1350m D’ben F&M C6 Good(3) trk July 12. Didn’t come up during the winter and resumes here for new stable. Smart mare when she’s on song. Don’t underestimate.

AVALADYLUCK (S W Kendrick) 5m By Bradbury’s Luck – Northshore Lady (27:5-6-3): Spelled after 1-1/2 len, sht hd 3rd (55.0) Adorabubble, Espiritu 1200m D’ben F&M Rst1 Good(3) trk Sept 6. Battled away ok when resuming 4-1/2 len 5th (56.5) Flying Riddle 1100m Gold Coast (Bm85) Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Stuck in the no-go zone and forgive first up run. Record this track isn’t flash but can’t be ruled out entirely.

ENDLESS SHADOW (P A Hulbert) 6m By Dane Shadow – Endless Maize (42:6-9-8): Four and five deep (no cover) and had no hope 8 len 12th (52.0) Handyman Bob 1350m D’ben C6 Soft(5) trk Dec 13. Ran home gamely 1/2 len 2nd (56.0) Breakfast In Bed 1400m Gold Coast F&M (Bm85) Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Tidy effort last start when specked at good odds. Drawn out but has a good record here. Worth including in multiples.

MISS HUSSON (Bruce Hill) 4m By Husson (AR) – Virgin Snow (16:41-0): Spelled after ordinary 5-3/4 len 6th (57.5) Mr Ahlberoni 1600m E Farm 3yo Good(4) trk July 30. Resumed with emphatic 1-1/4 len win (57.0) Dandy Fine, Forward Speed 1350m Ipswich F&M C3 Plt Good(3) trk Dec 24. Back to her best first up and will strip a lot fitter here. Meeting stronger rivals but 3kg weight drop in her favour and drawn perfectly.

Represents value.

STOLEN KISSES (J M Cleary) 5m By Mossman – Stolen Princess (31:5-7-5): Bucked at start and did well to keep fighting on 1/2 len 2nd (54.0) Reigns Above 900m Queanbeyan Open Good(3) trk Nov 29. Only run down late sht hd 2nd (56.5) Kristy Lee 1200m R’hill F&M (Bm80) Good(3) trk Dec 20. Going great guns since a let-up and no stranger to these parts having won twice this track earlier in her career. Will push forward from wide gate and give plenty of cheek.

PANDORA CHARM (B S Baldwin) 4m By Monashee Mountain (US) – Charm Buster (NZ) (25:4-1-3): Stuck to her guns 1-1/4 len, 3/4 len 3rd (51.0) Whiskey Allround, Friendly Dragon 1200m D’ben C6 Plt Soft(5) trk Dec 6. Struggled in no-go zone 7-1/4 len 9th (54.5) Diamond Fund 1200m Gold Coast Rst0 Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Forget last run when she was trapped in the worst part of the track. Normally races well here and drawn ideally. Improved showing wouldn’t totally shock.

CATSEYE SURPRISE (T P Croft) 5m By Testa Rossa – Catseye Beach (22:3-4-2): Poor first up 8 len last (55.0) Religify 1100m R’hill (Bm75) Good(3) trk Nov 29. Close enough turn but not good enough 4 len 9th (56.0) Jimmy Says Yes 1100m R’wick F&M (Bm70) Good(3) trk Jan 1.

Hasn’t been hitting the line this campaign. Hard to have on what she’s been showing lately.

PURE REALITY (Ms G Heinrich) 5m By Purrealist – Alated (17:3-2-3): Ran home well when resuming len, lg hd 3rd (54.0) Jack’s Jet, Hydrazine 1200m Ipswich (Bm75) Soft(5) trk Nov 26. Finished gamely to just miss 1/2 hd 2nd (57.5) Lady De Retz 1100m Ipswich F&M (70) Good(3) trk Dec 24. Making good progress this campaign and returns to home track where she’s won twice. Not the worst.

NORTHERN ZOOM (T Bailey) 4m By Northern Meteor – Serpent (14:41-1): Missed start before finishing gamely 3/4 len 2nd (56.5) Choruses 1200m Gold Coast F&M (Bm75) Good(3) trk Nov 4. Never in it 13-1/2 len last (54.0) Allknight Saint 1350m D’ben Rst0 Soft(5) trk Dec 6.

Galloped on last time and that run can be excused. Previous excellent effort entitles her to another chance.

SPRING ROSE (J Wehlow) 6m By Nadeem – Rosa Brava (33:5-4-6): Worked home ok when resuming len, sht 1/2 hd 3rd (57.5) Sweet Taboo, Gold Bender 1100m Mackay (Bm60) Good(3) trk Nov 30.

Finished strongly 3/4 len win (54.5) Dash For Viz, Power Ranger 1200m Rockhampton (Bm70) Good(3) trk Dec 18. Going great guns up north and cherry ripe for this. Capable of running a cheeky race at good odds.

ZIPPITY LASS (Ms G Heinrich) 5m By Zizou – Snippety Lass (16:4-1-1): Showed pace but ran out of steam when resuming 5-1/4 len 7th (54.0) Sammi Jain 1200m Sunshine Coast C4 Good(3) trk Dec 3. Fought on ok 1-1/2 len, nk 3rd (54.0) Storm Crazy, The White Hope 1200m Ipswich (Bm85) Good(3) trk Dec 17. Track specialist winning two from three but drawn awkwardly and this is a big step up in grade. Place looks best.

LOVE SHUTTLE (A J Edmonds) 5m By Zizou – Sky Love (8:2-0-3): Wouldn’t be denied 1/2 nk win (57.0) Goddess Of Luck, Savannah Dream 1400m Sunshine Coast F&M C1 Good(3) trk Dec 3. Never likely 5 len 11th (56.5) Putapavonit 1800m Sunshine Coast (Bm70) Good(3) trk Dec 26. Disappointing last time but probably found it a bit far. Back to more suitable trip with blinkers on and Munce booking is notable.

Knockout chance.

TALON LADY (Bruce Hill) 4m By Mossman – Flo Jo (12:3-2-1): Finished gamely 1/2 len win (55.0) Tribal Art, Irish Toffee 1400m Gold Coast C2 Good(3) trk Nov 4. Laboured 4-1/4 len 5th (55.0) Athena Fire 1400m Gold Coast F&M C3 Good(4) trk Nov 19. Given let-up after last run when she went too keenly mid-race. Normally races well here but wide alley makes it tough. Prefer others.

LOVEITT (Ms G Waterhouse) 3f By Sebring – God Love It (4:1-1-0): Ran home well 1/2 len 2nd (57.5) Typhoon Jolie 1400m R’hill 3yoF (Bm66) Heavy(8) trk Dec 12. Unlucky 3/4 len 4th (55.0) Mywayorthehighway 1300m Gold Coast Vo Rogue Plt Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Raced in restricted room late when making ground last time and looked a bit stiff. Will give this a huge shake if she gains a start.

REPARTEE (M J Dunn) 4m By Northern Meteor – Comedy Club (14:2-31): Back from let-up with moderate 4-3/4 len 6th (54.0) Lisa Fashionista 1050m D’ben C4 Good(3) trk Dec 5. Led and held on ok 1-3/4 len 4th (55.5) Pantheress 1200m Ipswich F&M C3 Good(4) trk Dec 19. Making steady improvement since joining this stable but faces a tough task from nightmare alley against this field. Hard to rate much more than a rough place hope.

Race four EXCELLANTES (R L Heathcote) 7g By Falvelon – Cantantes (45:10-114): Three deep (no cover) and couldn’t go on 4-1/4 len 10th (58.5) Big Money 1200m D’ben George Moore Soft(5) trk Dec 6. Tried hard 3/4 len 2nd (60.0) Saluter 1200m Sunshine Coast Open Good(3) trk Dec 26. Better effort last time when he drew a decent alley and struck a dry track. Can measure up again provided the track dries out sufficiently.

WHITTINGTON (C J Waller) 4h By Tale Of The Cat (US) – Maha Chakri (12:3-1-1): Not bad 3-3/4 len 6th (55.0) Terravista 1100m R’wick The Shorts Good(3) trk Sept 20. Spelled after 3-1/2 len 5th (57.5) Aomen 1400m R’wick Hcp Good(3) trk Oct 11. Resuming and has won twice first up including this race last year. Had two trials leading up to this and Bowman aboard. Respect.

HAPPY GALAXY (G W Moore) 5h By Nadeem – Seven Stars (14:5-1-2): Spelled after 12-3/4 len 15th (56.0) Target In Sight 1200m C’field Testa Rossa Firm(2) trk Sept 28. Didn’t do much when resuming 4-1/4 len 9th (55.0) Barbed 1200m C’bury Classic Good(3) trk Dec 27. Showed a lot of promise early in his career but form in the past year has been average. Take on trust.

SEEKING MORE (K C Wood) 5g By Sequalo – Coniston Lass (22:7-4-1): No match when resuming 3-3/4 len 2nd (58.5) The Storeman 1050m D’ben (Bm90) Good(3) trk Nov 22. Showed pace and fought on ok 1-3/4 len 4th (58.5) The Storeman 1050m D’ben (Bm90) Soft(5) trk Dec 6. Form this campaign has been solid and kept fresh for this. Ran well for 4th in this race last year. Well placed from rails alley with 4kg less to carry and Cahill aboard.

MISSY LONGSTOCKING (L F Birchley) 4m By Sequalo – Linyanti (15:80-3): Fought on well 3/4 len, sht nk 3rd (55.0) Enquare, Gundy Spirit 1350m D’ben Vo Rogue Plt Good(3) trk Dec 28 (2013). Spelled after 6-1/4 len 11th (56.0) Sweet Idea 1400m Gold Coast MM Gns Good(3) trk Jan 11. Smart mare resuming after long layoff without an official trial under her belt. Not much has gone right at this meeting for her in the past but too talented to overlook.

MISS MEGA HERZ (Patrick Sexton) 5m By Show A Heart – Beesem (25:11-3-2): Ran them ragged 6 len win (60.5) Seaza, Jam Tin 1000m Goondiwindi Open Soft(5) trk Dec 6. Floundered in going 5-1/4 len last (56.5) Tambo’s Jewel 1000m Sunshine Coast Open Soft(7) trk Dec 14.

Wasn’t suited in the wet last time and might strike similar conditions here. Will ensure it’s truly run but last 100m remains the supreme test.

PLATINUM STATE (B R Guy) 5g By Falvelon – Stately Command (30:73-3): Fought on well 1-1/4 len, len 3rd (54.0) You Did What, Star Sammy 1200m D’ben E&G C6 Good(4) trk Aug 30. Bled after 1/2 nk win (52.5) Jopa, Star Sammy 1350m D’ben Open Good(3) trk Sept 13. Resuming after bleeding ban and fitter for 3rd in 1000m trial here a fortnight ago.

Two time winner first up including last prep. Knockout chance.

PICKABEE (Caitlin Lavin) 5m By Jet Spur – Emmabee (13:5-2-1): Excellent effort off outside alley first up last time in 2-1/4 len, len 3rd (54.0) Srikandi, Miniature 1200m D’ben Juanmo Stks Good(4) trk May 17. Spelled after 5-1/2 len 10th (56.0) Jazz Song 1350m Ipswich Waterhouse Classic Good(4) trk June 14. Resuming and normally comes to hand quickly. Can be a handful at times but talented when she’s at her best. Value hope.

STRATURBO (G Portelli) 5g By Stratum – Weekend Gossip (25:5-8-0): Finished strongly when resuming 3/4 len 2nd (54.0) Kaiser Sun 1000m M Valley Open Good(3) trk Nov 29. Had his chance 3 len 7th (57.0) Play Master 1000m F’ton (Bm90) Good(3) trk Dec 20. Only average last time but might not have been suited to the straight track. Previous excellent effort entitles him to another chance.

LENNIE’S CHOICE (K M Schweida) 5g By Hard Spun (US) – Evening Jester (23:7-2-3): Three deep (no cover) and weakened out of it 5-1/4 len last (56.0) The Storeman 1050m D’ben (Bm90) Soft(5) trk Dec 6.

Showed pace then ran out of steam 9-1/2 len 7th (54.0) Phelan Ready 1200m D’ben Open Good(4) trk Dec 20. Too far for him last time and slightly shorter trip here off a freshen-up should suit better. Improved showing on the cards.

STATE OF WEALTH (G R Pollock) 6g By Ad Valorem (US) – Girona (31:6-4-4): Given let-up after 2-3/4 len 6th (59.5) Diamond Oasis 955m M Valley (Bm84) Good(3) trk Oct 24. Tiring 6-1/4 len 7th (58.0) Flying Riddle 1100m Gold Coast (Bm85) Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Began brilliantly last start but was going up and down in the one spot in the no-go zone final stages. Can improve if he strikes a firmer surface.

FLORIDA FELLOW (B R Guy) 6g By Anabaa (US) – Hialeah Star (39:103-5): Spelled after poor 10-1/2 len last (58.5) Ms Wicked Wanda 1000m Ballina Open Good(4) trk Sept 12. Blew start then pressed forward to lead but couldn’t go on when resuming 4-1/4 len 8th (56.0) Smart Cash 1050m D’ben E&G Rst0 Good(4) trk Jan 1. Runs his best races this circuit but has been playing up in the barriers lately and has to be taken on trust.

CELESTIAL DRAGON (S W Kendrick) 3g By Hidden Dragon – Nasrullah’s Girl (9:3-1-1): Tried hard 1/2 nk 2nd (57.0) Headwater Country 1000m Ipswich 3yo Good(4) trk Aug 27. Lame and spelled after 4-1/4 len 9th (57.0) Aimee 1200m D’ben 3yo Good(3) trk Sept 6. Resuming and undefeated first up. Well drawn and has plenty of ability when he’s on song. Don’t treat lightly.

SEPT DE COEURS (S W Kendrick) 4m By Show A Heart – Seventh Heaven (10:2-1-1): Put away after 5-1/4 len 4th (58.0) Lanieri 1200m D’ben F&M C3 Good(3) trk July 2. Resumed with fair 1/2 hd, 3-1/4 len 3rd (57.5) Lady De Retz, Pure Reality 1100m Ipswich F&M (70) Good(3) trk Dec 24. Has poor barrier manners which cost her first up.

Ran a blinder at this meeting last year in F&M Qlty. Can measure up if she brings her A-game.

Race five FIXATION (T J Gollan) 3g By Jet Spur – Refix (7:1-0-1): Never likely 5-1/2 len 10th (56.0) Tina Melina 1200m D’ben 3yo Good(3) trk Nov 22. Too far back and too wet 6-3/4 len 10th (54.0) Where’s Thatdragon 1350m D’ben 3yo Soft(6) trk Dec 6. Was ok through the line last time and getting away from D’ben might enhance his chances. Too talented to underestimate.

DEIHEROS (Lloyd Kennewell) 3g By Bon Hoffa – Philippa’s Music (10:42-2): Impressive 2-1/4 len win (54.0) King’s Pardon, Pistolier 1200m M’ville (Bm82) Good(3) trk Dec 13. Struggling 4-1/2 len 10th (57.0) Mywayorthehighway 1300m Gold Coast Vo Rogue Plt Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Caught in no man’s land and didn’t have much hope last time. Was specked at good odds that day and might improve on firmer surface.

TESTASHADOW (G Portelli) 3g By Testa Rossa – Moonlight Shadow (9:2-3-1): Tried hard 1/2 nk 2nd (57.0) Berry Delicious 1400m R’hill 3yo Plt Soft(6) trk Dec 6. Got the bob in at right time nose win (59.0) Tree Of Jesse, Harrier Jet 1400m R’hill 3yo (Bm72) Good(3) trk Dec 20. Gutsy effort with huge weight last time against a handy line-up. Likes this trip and in form. Don’t sell him short.

CYCLONE (Bjorn Baker) 3g By Sebring – Bella Corona (10:1-1-3): Wasn’t suited by loose surface 13-1/2 len 8th (57.0) Eisenhower 1400m Randwick-Kensington 3yo (Bm72) Good(4) trk Nov 22. Ran home well 1-1/4 len, 1/2 nk 3rd (56.5) Aerobar, Echo Gal 1200m Wyong 3yo Stks Good(3) trk Dec 18. Took a few strides to wind up last time before finishing strongly. Extra journey in his favour. Will be hard to hold out.

BOLD CIRCLE (David Payne) 3c By Bernardini (US) – Courtyard Circle (7:2-0-1): Not much went right when resuming 3-1/2 len last (58.0) Dupe ‘em 1100m R’wick 3yo (Bm72) Soft(7) trk Dec 13. Flew home 1/2 nk win (57.0) Rock Temple, Bermuda Blu 1200m R’wick (Bm70) Good(3) trk Jan 1. Burst through gap to get the prize in last couple of bounds last time. At his best on dry tracks. Can measure up if he strikes his preferred going.

VIENNA ROYALE (T J Gollan) 3g By Falvelon – Plachutta (10:2-0-0): Too wet 6-1/4 len 8th (57.0) Soldi Domani 1200m D’ben Gold Edition Soft(6) trk Dec 13. Dug deep nk win (57.0) Castanita, She’s Miss Devine 1200m D’ben 3yo Good(4) trk Jan 1. Back to his best last time with a gutsy effort. Extra 200m is the obvious concern but will give a sight.

MURT THE FLIRT (B J McCarthy) 3g By Murtajill – Loves Attention (2:10-0): Impressive debut len win (57.0) Boundary, Guajeo 1100m Ballarat 3yo Classic Good(4) trk Nov 22. Battled away ok 1-3/4 len 5th (56.5) Aerobar 1200m Wyong 3yo Stks Good(3) trk Dec 18. Didn’t look entirely comfortable going clockwise for the first time last start but stuck to his task quite well. Blinkers on first time might do the trick.

YEAGER (T J Gollan) 3g By Jet Spur – Sky Bar (7:1-2-1): Never likely 8-1/2 len last (55.5) Where’s Thatdragon 1350m D’ben 3yo Soft(6) trk Dec 6. Too wet 4-1/4 len 9th (57.0) Mywayorthehighway 1300m Gold Coast Vo Rogue Plt Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Small tracks and rain-affected surfaces haven’t helped his cause this campaign. Has plenty of ability when he’s on song. Can’t be ruled out entirely.

LIBERTY ISLAND (C J Waller) 3g By Statue Of Liberty (US) – Miduki (6:1-2-1): Came from last but winner was off and gone 4-3/4 len 2nd (55.0) Gold Seventy Seven 1250m C’bury 3yo C&G Rst0 Good(3) trk Dec 17. Finished strongly 1-1/2 len win (58.5) Electrifyin’, Russet 1400m R’wick 3yo C&G Mdn Soft(5) trk Dec 26. Going great guns this campaign since being gelded. Will be putting in the big bounds late.

MYWAYORTHEHIGHWAY (M J Mair) 3f By Swiss Ace – More Assertive (5:2-0-2): Did the job well when resuming len win (54.5) Gracida, Vinnie Loves Me 1000m Sunshine Coast Mdn Plt Good(4) trk Dec 7. Led and kept rallying lg nk win (55.0) Hijack Hussy, Worthy Cause 1300m Gold Coast Vo Rogue Plt Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Undefeated this campaign and claimed some big scalps last time. Winning form is good form.

HIJACK HUSSY (T J Gollan) 3f By Hussonet (US) – Joy Ride (9:3-2-2): Flashed home from last hd, 3/4 len 3rd (56.5) Savoureux, Tales Of Fashion 1200m D’ben Mode Plt Soft(5) trk Dec 6.

FLEMINGTON Saturday Race six LEVERACTION (D S Archard) 6g By Top Echelon – Annie Success (49:7-12-7): Had a touch of support in higher class but disappointed when led again but folded up late for 9-3/4 len last (55.5) Taiyoo 2000m F’ton (Bm90) Good(3) trk Dec 20. Better suited here. Well worth another chance.

LAMPEDUSA (B F Cavanough) 5g By Flying Spur – Omerta Blue (16:5-01): Mammoth odds but a much better effort when prominent throughout for 2-1/2 len, 3/4 len 3rd (57.5) Boomwaa, Magnus Reign 1200m M Valley (Bm84) Good(3) trk Dec 27. Won over this course early in career and back to something like his best last time. Must be considered.

FINAL JEST (P A Sweeney) 6g By Stargazer (NZ) – Ruby Jest (21:6-4-2): Jumped awkwardly then overraced early, middle stages before making a little late ground for 3-1/4 len 7th (57.0) Bringenbrong 1400m Tatura (Bm78) Good(4) trk Dec 14. Has three wins, two seconds from nine starts this distance in weaker company. Has some claims.

GRACIOUS PROSPECT (D Hayes & T Dabernig) 4g By Tale Of The Cat (US) – Lady Gracious (27:3-6-6): Much better effort when ran wide throughout but held on gamely for sht 1/2 hd, 3/4 len 3rd (54.0) Calming Influence, Mannopoly 1400m F’ton (Bm90) Good(3) trk Jan 1. Has a win and two placings from six tries this coruse. Must be respected on that record.

SPECTER (Lee & Anthony Freedman) 6g By Nadeem – Woman In White (FR) (24:2-6-5): Had a touch of support when returned but never better than midfield in 4-1/4 len 6th (54.5) Floatmyboat 1420m F’ton (Bm90) Good(3) trk Dec 20. Racing has been well spaced with limited success in some feature races since he won a Listed race over this course Sept.

2011. Worth some thought.

STEREOSONIC (L & T Corstens) 5g By Savabeel – Dancing Song (NZ) (19:5-1-1): Freshened again but again overraced early, middle stages and battled on fairly for 3-1/2 len 5th (54.0) Floatmyboat 1420m F’ton (Bm90) Good(3) trk Dec 20. Better for recent racing. Has some prospects.

SUCH HOPE (J F Moloney) 5g By Shaft – American Hope (23:5-3-3): Much the same throughout when resumed in Listed class for 5-1/4 len 5th (54.0) Tried And Tired 1200m Sandown-Lakeside Christmas Stks Good(4) trk Dec 26. Fairly consistent but he has been unplaced all three here. Rough claims.

BRINGENBRONG (B O Cox) 7g By Spinning World (US) – Herries (26:62-3): Has been freshened since passed fit at barrier and ran on late for nk win (57.0) Priority Road, Pakari Toa 1400m Tatura (Bm78) Good(4) trk Dec 14. Added to a sound record this distance at two from a break.

Tougher here but one of plenty with some claims.

MURCIELAGA (M D Moroney) 5g By Testa Rossa – Zacushla (NZ) (18:41-2): Failed to impress when beat only one home in 3-3/4 len 10th (54.0) Calming Influence 1400m F’ton (Bm90) Good(3) trk Jan 1. Placed two of seven since a win over this course (Bm78) this time last year. Look for improvement.

REDDAMOUR (D K Weir) 5g By Seul Amour (NZ) – Reddy To Dream (21:5-3-3): Game effort when ran wide during race but ran on from midfield for hd win (56.0) Alpha Man, Double Pockets 1300m Morphettville Parks (78) Firm(2) trk Dec 20. Wide draw no help but has some prospects.

CROSS OF GOLD (D Hayes & T Dabernig) 6g By Redoute’s Choice – They Say (US) (33:4-6-4): Freshened and a better effort when ran on from last at the turn for 1/2 len, lg nk 3rd (55.5) Creance, King’s Pardon 1300m Morphettville Parks (Bm82) Good(3) trk Dec 27. Likely to get a long way back from a wide draw. Rough claims.

Has a win and a second from two tries first up but wide draw and class here should test.

LAST SIGHT (S V Brown) 4h By Fastnet Rock – Arborea (13:4-2-1): Raced prominent for a long way but swamped late in a close up 3/4 len 6th (57.5) Churchill Dancer 1200m F’ton 3&4yo (Bm78) Good(3) trk Dec 20. Far from disgraced last time. Has some prospects although he hasn’t won beyond 1300m and is poorly drawn.

MR ANDRE (Richard Laming) 6g By Elvstroem – Blaze Em (18:5-2-2): Spelled after led and survived a protest to hold sht 1/2 hd win (54.0) Baklava Boy, Castano Girl 2500m M’ville (Bm90) Good(4) trk Sept 13. Only win this distance was Mdn on a hvy trk early in career. This should test.

CHARLES IN CHARGE (Lee & Anthony Freedman) 4g By Myboycharlie (IR) – Gloravega (16:4-2-1): Raced prominent and held on fairly well when resumed with 1-1/2 len 4th (58.5) Hinchley Wood 1300m Bendigo (Bm70) Good(3) trk Dec 21. Solid record around this distance and has the pace to take advantage of a nice draw. Must be considered.

ANFITRIONA (P G Moody) 4m By Host (CH) – Rambling River (12:32-3): Led to the turn but ran out of puff when resumed with 5-3/4 len 9th (54.0) Madam Gangster 1400m Sandown-Lakeside F&M (Bm84) Good(4) trk Dec 26. Better for that outing. Look for improvement.

LIVE FOR TODAY (D K Weir) 5g By Bradbury’s Luck – Churchy La Femme (16:4-1-2): Failed to impress when 7-1/2 len 11th (58.0) Tonopah 1600m Sandown-Lakeside (Bm78) Good(3) trk Dec 26.

Scored a nice win over 1800m (Bm78) at Sandown-Hillside in June.

The pen is mightier than the sword.

This is why veteran journalist ALFRED KANINIBA suggests that journalists around the country should get together on a certain date to have their pens blessed, preparing them to continue their fight for truth.

The pen is mightier than the sword

WHEN A journalist dies, especially one who you have been associated with for most of your working and social life, and who has become “family” to you, something in you cries out. Why! When my close colleague, mentor and brother Jack Metta passed away several years ago, I was so devastated. I just could not come to grips that this close friend, brother and colleague had gone. When another close brother Yehiura Hriehwazi passed on, I just could not believe that such a great, uncompromising, inquisitive and hardnosed reporter had left us.

But what really drove the spear through my heart was when my former editor, also Post-Courier company secretary, a friend and brother Blaise Nangoi died in October last year. I was in the queue at the Port Moresby General Hospital A and E waiting, when I opened a copy of the morning paper. As I skimmed the pages I saw the headline. I was so shocked that I thought for a moment I would black out. I found a space and slumped in the corner with the other sick and suffering standing around me. Everything seemed oblivious to me.

I closed my eyes and asked. Why Lord, why has this happened?

I suggest that all journalists and professionals in the media industry, including students, should have an “Opening of the journalism year”.

ALFRED KANINIBA

Not long after Blaise’s death, another close brother and long-time NBC journalist-turned public relations officer, Pirpira Wartovo, also passed on. What really made it so sad for me was that Pirpira’s daughter was a teacher at Jubilee Secondary School at Hohola in Port Moresby for the whole of last year.

She was also the class teacher in which my daughter was in. I heard the name Wartovo, but did not ask, thinking the name was a common Tolai name. My daughter attended Pirpira Wartovo’s funeral service.

It was when she came home she told me: “Daddy my teacher’s father was a journalist.” It dawned on me then that it was the ever-smiling Pirpira Wartovo. Rest their souls dear Lord.

When the two NBC female journalists were raped also towards the

end of last year, the pressure just continued to get to me.

I am an emotional person and every time a journalist or a media industry professional dies, or is hurt in line of duty, it really traumatises me. Even if they are from a different part of the world. I pray that their souls will rest in peace.

I began to ask questions about myself and what I could do to help other journalists and media industry professionals to become a strong voice in our country and to strengthen our profession. As individuals, are we prepared in spirit to really do the job?

I was taught journalism at Divine Word Institute, Madang, by the late Fr Frank Mihalic SVD. There were only four of us in that communication arts class of 1983-84. Schola Vogel, Audrey Kuglame, Patrick

Matbob and myself.

One of the sayings Fr Mihalic “the old man” told us is etched in my conscience.

“The Pen is mightier than the Sword.”

From college days I have worshipped the Pen and all through my working life and I am sure all my colleagues who have now gone before did so with undying loyalty.

The Pen has been my life and the life of many others who are still in the industry. Those who have opted out of the industry but are in other areas will still rally to age-old adage, that “the Pen is mightier than the Sword”.

But in 2015 and beyond there needs to be a paradigm shift. We must start it now.

Journalists both in the mainstream and in public relations and other media streams need to get together, regroup and create an identity, and show solidarity.

One suggestion I would like to put forward to all practising journalists and other media professionals is that we are a Christian country and we need to pay homage to our Creator and Lord God Almighty.

I suggest that all journalists and professionals in the media industry, including students, should have an

“Opening of the journalism year”.

This will be quite similar to the legal fraternity who have theirs in February.

That a time is agreed to and a venue – church – for all our professionals to get together, have a church service in which each person comes with his/her pen and we all get a blessing by a priest or pastor. It should become an annual event.

In fact, on Sunday January 4, that was exactly what I did. With another young journalist, Charles Moi, we both went up to the altar of our church, the Holy Family Anglican Church. He held his pen and his cross, while I held mine, and we were blessed by our parish priest Fr John Alfred Dubabagi.

I felt humbled and empowered after that Sunday blessing.

After nearly 30 years as a journalist – I know what it really means deep inside my in spirit to say…

“The Pen is mightier than the Sword”. When you are empowered by the Divine Infinite, universal, atomic and supernatural power of God the father, the Son and the Holy Spirit… the Pen will reign!

The ugly duckling

Raymond doing what he does best: saving lives

In the jungle A lone young man is working within the remote jungles of Western Province, trying to save the lives of his people, shares JOSHUA DIMEL. He brings hope to these forgotten people.

I’M inspired to share with you a story of one young man, whose heart for his people is making a great difference in one of the most remote places on earth.

His name is Raymond Singamis and he comes from Baktaman village, Olsobip district, in the North Fly district of Western Province.

I’m sure some of you are aware of him.

Straight after graduating from Pacific Adventist University (PAU) with a nursing certificate, he has been trying to ensure his knowledge is put into saving the lives of his people, who have been silently dying from various curable diseases under the canopies of untouched forests for many years.

A forgotten group of people, afflicted souls, living in a totally isolated world, is beginning to gradually realise a young man, born of their own blood and flesh, is illuminating this dark side of the

world in terms of modern medical comfort.

Raymond shared with me these photos which he took a couple of weeks ago after returning from what he described as a “body and soul wrenching journey”.

He told me he is liaising with OTML’s Tax Credit Scheme to building a rural health centre for his people so that they can have the much needed medical attention.

His testimony, I admit, was quite

similar to my own life. The pain and the visions, I felt were, in fact, of my own.

His experiences re-ignited a profound truth that when we put on our coat of selflessness and shelter the homeless, give food to the hungry, clothe those who are naked, comfort those who are sick, we can make our world a better place.

I believe that in us lies an immense power that can eliminate poverty and transform our society.

We can make the change.

ONCE upon a time down on an old farm, lived a duck family, and Mother Duck had been sitting on a clutch of new eggs.

One nice morning, the eggs hatched and out popped six chirpy ducklings. But one egg was bigger than the rest, and it didn’t hatch. Mother Duck couldn’t recall laying that seventh egg. How did it get there?

TOCK! TOCK! The little prisoner was pecking inside his shell.

“Did I count the eggs wrongl y ? ” Mother D u c k w o n dered.

B u t before s h e had time to think about it, the last egg finally hatched. A strange looking duckling with gray feathers that should have been yellow gazed at a worried mother. The ducklings grew quickly, but Mother Duck had a secret worry.

“I can’t understand how this ugly duckling can be one of mine!” she said to herself, shaking her head as she looked at her last born. Well, the gray duckling certainly wasn’t pretty, and since he ate far more than his brothers, he was outgrowing them. As the days went by, the poor ugly duckling became more and more unhappy. His brothers didn’t want to play with him, he was so clumsy, and all the farmyard folks simply laughed at him. He felt sad and lonely, while Mother Duck did her best to console him.

“Poor little u g l y duckling!” s h e would s a y . “ W h y are you so different from the others?”

And the ugly duckling felt worse than ever. He secretly wept at night. “Nobody loves me, they all tease me! Why am I different from my brothers?”

Then one day, at sunrise, he ran away from the farmyard. He stopped at a pond and began to question all the other birds. “Do you know of any ducklings with gray feathers like mine?” But everyone shook their heads in scorn.

“We don’t know anyone as ugly as you.” The ugly duckling did not lose heart, howev-

er, and kept on making inquiries. He went to another pond, where a pair of large geese gave him the same answer to his question. What’s more, they warned him: “Don’t stay here! Go away! It’s dangerous. There are men with guns around here!” The duckling was sorry he had ever left the farmyard.

Then one day, his travels took him near an old countrywoman’s cottage. Thinking he was a stray goose, she caught him.

“I’ll put this in a hutch. I hope it’s a female and lays plenty of eggs!” said the old woman, whose eyesight was poor. But the ugly duckling laid not a single egg. The hen kept frightening him.

“Just w a i t !

If you don’t lay eggs, the old woman w i l l wring y o u r n e c k and pop you into the pot!” And the cat chipped in: “Hee! Hee! I hope the woman cooks you, then I can gnaw at your bones!”

The poor ugly duckling was so scared that he lost his appetite, though the old woman kept stuffing him with food and grumbling: “If you won’t lay eggs, at least hurry up and get plump!”

“Oh, dear me!” moaned the now terrified duckling. “I’ll die of fright first! And I did so hope someone would love me!”

Then one night, finding the hutch door ajar, he escaped.

Once again he was all alone.

He fled as far away as he could, and at dawn, he found himself in a thick bed of reeds. “If nobody wants me, I’ll h i d e here forever.”

There w a s plenty a food, and the duckling began to feel a little happier, though he was lonely.

One day at sunrise, he saw a flight of beautiful birds wing overhead.

Gratitude quest Planning to write a memoir, a 95-yearold digger went looking for records of those who served in WWII but saw immediately that a lot of information were amiss. Bill Park has spent 12 years updating thousands of missing service records, writes MICHAEL BRISSENDEN.

ABC News Australia

AUSTRALIAN Bill Park is 95 years old, but if you didn’t know it, you wouldn’t have guessed it looking at him.

He sheets his longevity home to his good genes and the women in his life.

But there’s another reason he’s still able to stroll up the bank of the Brisbane River near his home in suburban Sherwood like a man half his age.

For the past 12 years he’s been consumed with a crusade for justice and recognition.

Mr Park is an Australian World War II veteran.

In 1942 he signed up with the 15th Battalion, then joined the cipher division of the Intelligence Corps and ended up serving in Papua New Guinea.

Back in 2002, Mr Park was still a sprightly young 82-year-old.

Planning to write a memoir, he went looking for records on the Australian government’s new nominal roll – supposedly a list of all those who served in WWII. His name was there, but many of his mates weren’t.

At first he said he was surprised, but not long after that he got very

angry.

“This nominal roll was designed so that anyone, anywhere in the world, could put in a name and get the details of his service,” Mr Park said.

“If the nation stops remembering people by making promises they are not going to keep, then sorry but I’m going to bring you down.”

The more he investigated the nominal roll the worse it began to look.

Not only were many of his mates left off, but by cross-referencing the 125,000 Queensland enlistments with the roll he came to the startling conclusion that in at least 10 per cent of cases, the entries were either wrong or not

there at all.

Mr Park notified the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) but found his concerns hit a bureaucratic brick wall.

No one was prepared to acknowledge the problem or, more importantly, do anything to fix it.

So Mr Park set about putting the record straight himself.

For the past 12 years Mr Park has been digging through the enlistment register, pay cards and records held at the national archive and now he says he’s almost done the DVA’s job for it.

“All they had to do was do what I did. I’m not a computer bloke but I’ve gone and entered up in my computer all these names.

“Even if there’s no money in

DVA, all they had to do is go and buy a computer for $1000 and do what I did.”

He might be 95 but he still has the determination that drove him through a post-war career that included company directorships and eventually chairman of the Brisbane Stock Exchange, among many other things.

For the past 12 years that determination kept him focused on correcting the record for all those who served.

He acknowledges the project and his determination has probably also helped keep him alive.

“I only wish I was younger,” he said.

Since 2003, he’s been trying to get someone to listen.

He’s called, he’s e-mailed, he’s written to the DVA and to every Veterans Affairs Minister, but he still can’t get them to acknowledge the mistake or fix it.

The old veteran now thinks the only explanation is the DVA is just too embarrassed to acknowledge the problem.

But in a formal response to the ABC, the minister’s office simply said: “Nominal rolls are

considered by DVA as works in progress.

“When the WWII nominal roll was published in 2002, DVA sought and received feedback on errors and omissions.

“DVA maintains a small team who research and respond to this feedback.”

But Mr Park doesn’t buy it.

He says the nominal roll isn’t a worthy memorial if it doesn’t do what it claims.

And if there are no plans to fix it, he’ll just have to keep fighting.

His time is running short, but he’s not giving up.

He says he owes it to his mates and to all those who served.

“Maybe I’m cuckoo but at least I can look any of these blokes in the eye and say ‘I’m sorry mate, I tried but I failed’,” he said.

“I’d sooner do that than walk away from it.

The Veterans’ Affairs portfolio is responsible for carrying out Government policy and implementing programs to fulfil Australia’s obligations to war veterans and their dependants.

An example of the Westminster system which has the separation of powers, known as the three arms of government. PNG uses this system

To be in control EDWARD PULAGIS explains the different types of government systems in the world; processes which help governments build nations and why some of them do not seem to be as effective as expected.

GOVERNMENT and politics have always been the universal aspect of human existence. Politics is the activity where groups reach binding collective decisions through attempting to reconcile differences among their members.

Similarly, the Westminster system has been tried and tested for its authenticity by states and governments. The Westminster system has been in contentious debates, especially in the distribution of powers among the higher and lower political units. Since independence in 1975, there have been many changes aimed at bringing government closer to the people.

There are many government systems, however political scientists often identify two main types: the majoritarian system and the consensus (federal) system.

The consensus system divides power between higher governing bodies and the lower political units – the states and provinces – and is best suited to societies that are more diverse. The majoritar-

ian system is more appropriate to societies with few differences (homogenous).

However, there are continuous debates on which of the two is more desirable as in some countries there are differences, for instance, in the electoral laws and policies which can be enacted by a single political party with a legislative majority.

In addition, there are in place government systems that give a different meaning on the idea of democracy and nation building. Such as a totalitarian government of the Latin Americas, Islamic regimes of the Middle East, semi-democracy’s and communist party-led governments (Russia and China).

In a nutshell, these two systems describe the process and functions of laws and institutions of the state, the machinery and the responsibility of government.

In the government we find the three arms; the legislator, the executive and the judiciary. They play a vital role in the functions and op-

erations of the government. For example, the government of the day must manage public finance and create policies to implement in society. One of its main purposes is to uphold the State sovereignty and national security in international politics, to defend the State against external and internal threats.

So the question is, has government been working well in PNG? Firstly, there will never be a perfect government in the world; but to work effectively all governments must have a pathway to successfully address its growth and development challenges. Vision 2050 is one clear example of a pathway to guide all Government directives and operations forward. Secondly, this question cannot be asked if development is complete in the sense that government is seen to be working for the people and not for itself.

Questions have been asked on whether or not democratic forms of government will maintain this fragile nation in the next 40 years given the present state of PNG where some pressing issues are concerned.

We have seen that changes to electoral laws and government polices did not prevent new ways of getting existing governments ousted to emerge. The political convulsion of 2011 was a first of its kind and perhaps in the world too. It was when all three arms of the government were questioned of their im-

partiality and integrity of powers to perform their roles to the extent that the bureaucracy had to take sides.

The Westminster system is a centralised system. A centralised system operates in such a way where the national Government is simply in exclusive control of even the legal systems of the country and the bureaucracy. With full control of revenues, the taxation powers, the majoritarian model disregards the many differences that make up the nation it assumes control over the mining, oil, gas and other key resources in PNG. On the other hand, we will think of many reasons to come up with on why Government is simply not functioning well, where some critics would say that there is an absence of participatory leadership to a more dictatorial or authoritarian leadership. Others would share the sentiments of breeding corruption, protecting thieves and liars under the disguise of political stability. For the current government, its focuses in building more infrastructures have created opportunities for other supportive industries.

In its effort in bringing government closer to the people, education and health has been Prime Minister Peter O’Neill’s signature polices. But one of the main challenges is a fast growing population which Government systems and services cannot cope with and it

seems the country is 30-40 years behind on some of the services.

To put it simply, the current government has been performing well but absolutely not functioning well. Because there is a difference between performance and function, though they relate to each other in definition, they complement differently in the activity of Government.

When you perform, you are producing results and when you function, you are simply able to operate following all the important ‘guidelines, structures’ together with all necessary ‘tools and essentials’ that constantly equip and sustain you to produce results (performance). Hence there is a great need for PNG to produce governments to function and perform effectively at the same time.

In summary PNG has a very prospective future despite the challenges presented when two different systems came into contact with each other. Relevant political literature reveal that many of the pioneer politicians and bureaucrats/ statesmen never really understood the wider implications of a system that was so foreign and for the first time heard of in a country born out of 800 fragile images, woven into a melting pot of uncertainty.

Therefore one way of formulating answers is to look into the devolution or decentralisation of powers at the different levels of Government in PNG today.

Mysterious ways LEFT and right: Modern day Arabs using donkeys for transportation Pictures: FRANK MECKLENBURG

In the story of Samuel and his quest to find a king for the Israelites, FRANK MECKLENBURG portrays how God can use different circumstances for his will and purpose. God sure does work in mysterious ways.

THE people did not accept the warnings or consequences Samuel the Prophet gave about having a king like all the other nations around them had.

“But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” They said. “We want a king over us. Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.” (1 Samuel 8:19–20 NIV) After the LORD confirmed what Samuel was to do, he sent the people back to their villages, which to me, indicates that he still felt rejected by the leaders. But he was obedient to God in this situation as he was throughout his life. He went to the LORD in prayer and did not argue with God after he was told what to do. “The LORD answered: Listen to them and give them a king.”

(1 Samuel 8:22 NIV) Samuel lost no time starting the process of finding a king for the people of Israel. Of course it was not just Samuel’s task, because God promised Samuel that at the right time he would know whom God had chosen to be the first king of Israel. God’s part was then what it is today, by his using every aspect and circumstance of our life for his purposes even though sometimes

we are unaware of it. This helps us trust him even more than we ordinarily do.

God knew that Kish was a respected man of the tribe of Benjamin who had a son named Saul who was taller than any other Israelite, but not taller than the Philistines, particularly the giant named Goliath.

Saul was known and respected as stronger physically and wiser than other Israelites. If you were picking an athlete for basketball, soccer, or rugby, you probably would have chosen Saul.

At this time, some of Kish’s donkeys wandered off from where they were ordinarily kept and were lost.

Literacy is beautiful

By CATHERINE RIVARD and TIM SCOTT “LITERACY is beautiful,” Lewa exclaimed, unable to hold back her smile. “It’s my deepest joy to watch someone learn how to read.”

Lewa, the literacy coordinator for the Kalo language in Central Province, was attending the orthotech workshop held at the Ukarumpa Training Centre along with 17 other participants from over 11 lan-

guages. The goal of the workshop was to train participants as orthography technicians who would be able to organise and run alphabet design workshops. She was excited to learn about new tools and methods that would help her refine the Kalo alphabet and continue to develop literacy programs.

Lewa has been teaching literacy in her area since the 1960s. “It encourages my heart to see my former students become leaders and good

42 Post-Courier, Friday, January 9, 2015

Because donkeys were a very important part of the life of the Israelites, it was important for them to be found. If you lost your car or other valuables, you also would want to find it. Who better could Kish send to look for them, but his son, Saul?

“Take one of the servants with you and go and look for the donkeys.” (1 Samuel 9:3 NIV) Saul and his servant started out going northwest to a village called Shalisha, west of Shechem, with no success. They continued on through the Territory of Benjamin looking for their donkey, but again they were not successful and they were low on food.

Saul was concerned that his father would stop worrying about the donkeys and start worrying about him and his servant so he suggested that they return home, because of his concern about his father, but also because he was frustrated that there was no sign of the missing donkeys. Saul’s servant seemed more sensitive spiritually than Saul because he sensed that since they were near the town where the prophet was visiting, they should go see him because he would be able to give them some direction for finding the donkeys.

The prophet was none other than

the Prophet Samuel who travelled around the area teaching and helping the people. God enabled the servant to convince Saul to go and see the prophet instead of returning home, but since it was a custom to give a gift to the prophet, Saul was concerned because they did not have one. Again God used the servant who just happened to have some money, quarter of a shekel of silver.

He sensed that it was so important for them to see the prophet that he was willing to use all the money he had as a gift.

Can you imagine bothering such an important and godly man about finding lost donkeys when he was busy with spiritual matters? But of course God knew what he was doing. Upon their arrival in the village some girls told them that the prophet had just arrived and if they hurried they would be able to see him.

Before Saul and his servant arrived, the LORD told Samuel that the future king of the Israelites was on his way. “About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint him leader over my people Israel; he will deliver my people from the hand of the Philistines. I have looked upon my people, for their cry has reached me.”

(1 Samuel 9:16 NIV) So Samuel was not surprised when he saw them coming up the hill to see him.

The reason Saul went up to Samuel and asked him if he might know where he could find the prophet was because he did not recognise him.

Evidently Saul had not met Samuel before. After Samuel identified himself and invited them to have a meal with him, he surprised them by telling them that they should not worry about the lost donkeys because they had been found.

I don’t think the donkey was really lost because God knew where it was and caused Saul not to be able to find it in order to bring him to the right place and at the right time.

Saul thought he was on a journey to find some lost donkeys, but instead he was on a journey planned

by God. We can never say that God does not have a purpose for all of life’s activities. Also we see that God may use our employee, student, child or wife to direct us. We also see the importance of animals and how God can use them to guide us.

Have you ever wondered why animals hear God better than humans?

Chris-

of those who are educated to pass on their gift, and she models that theory by keeping the doors of her house open to anyone who might want to learn to read.

“They are so hungry for knowledge! I tell them, whenever you have time, you come to my house and I will help you. I’ve asked my family to give me 10 minutes free from my other responsibilities to help this person, and they understand.”

Lewa sees her role as a literacy teacher as planned by God from the beginning and always seeks to

encourage her fellow teachers.

“Psalm 139:13 says God knitted you together in your mother’s womb . . . God has been forming you and molding you so you can be willing to serve Him through literacy.

“God has chosen us to take up this literacy work. People don’t always understand, but because of your commitment, because of your teaching, this man that you teach, he will be able to open the Bible and read the Word of God, and he will find life.

“And it’s because you taught him to read in the first place.”

SIGNS you drink too much coffee: You answer the door before people knock; You ski uphill; You’re the employee of the month at the local coffeehouse and you don’t even work there; You haven’t blinked since the last lunar eclipse; You help your dog chase its tail, and, Your eyes stay open when you sneeze.

THREE construction workers are on the seventy-fifth floor of a non-finished building.

The Italian opens his lunch box to find a pizza and says “Man, if I get pizza one more time I am going to jump off this building and fall to my death!” The Chinese opens his lunch box to find rice and says “Man, if I get rice one more time I am going to jump off this building and fall to my death!” The blonde opens his lunch box to find a cheeseburger and says “Man, if I get a

cheeseburger one more time I’m going to jump off this building and fall to my death!”

So the next day they all got the same thing and they jumped off the building to their death.

That weekend at the funeral, the Italian and the Chinese wives are crying and saying “I would have fixed him something else for lunch but he never told me.”

And as the two wives stare at the blonde’s wife, they both ask why she isn’t sad about her husband’s death. The blonde replies, “Don’t look at me, he packs his own lunch.”

HOW to be annoying: ☺ When your teacher is looking for volunteers, shout: “I VOLUNTEER AS A TRIBUTE.” ☺ Whenever someone steps into the elevator, in a deep voice say “GET OUT”. ☺ When the doors of the elevator close, turn to those behind you and say “You’re probably wondering why I gathered you all here today.”

Did you know?

Questions never asked WHY are our veins blue if our blood is red?

The reason your veins look blue is because different wavelengths of light with different properties are hitting your skin. Blue light is absorbed by the blood and is then reflected back.

Why do most singers seem to lose their accents when singing?

Phonetics and cadence often makes singers lose their accents when they sing. This is because they are forced to stress some syllables and make their words longer. The result makes most people sound like they’re from the same area.

food when we’re hungover?

When you drink, your body produces more of a brain chemical called galanin. Galanin in turn increases your appetite for fats.

Why do we say “cheese” when taking a picture?

The exact origin of the word “cheese” is unknown, but what we do know is that by saying it, the corners of our mouth turn up, producing the smile most people want for photographs.

ABOVE: When King Triton arrives at the concert in the beginning of The Little Mermaid, there are a few familiar faces BELOW: In Wreck-It Ralph the animators hid a Mickey Mouse into the film

Secret world of Mickey IT’S a Disney tradition that has been secretly carried out for decades; never publicly acknowledged and is now a near obsession for fans: Finding hidden Mickeys.

Animators and theme park designers have long been incorporating hidden Mickeys into their work, giving fans the chance to try and spot the iconic mouse surreptitiously planted in the background of modern movies and ride designs.

The practice is now so widespread that finding Mickey is considered a sport among Disney lovers with entire websites set up

to document the hidden icon.

Imagineers have hidden representations of Mickey in movies from Snow White to Aladdin and around the Magic Kingdom and Epcot Center.

Usually they consist of three circles drawn to represent Mickey’s head and ears but can even go as far as planting Mickey, Goofy et al in a crowd scene.

There is no official list of all the Mickeys hidden by Disney workers adding to the mystery and debate but Disney.com documented some of their best movie versions on a blog post.

Mickey Mouse is a funny animal cartoon character and the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company.

He was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks at the Walt Disney Studios in 1928.

Mickey first was seen in a single test screening (Plane Crazy).

Mickey officially debuted in the short film Steamboat Willie (1928), one of the first sound cartoons.

He went on to appear in over 130 films, including The Band Concert (1935), Brave Little Tailor (1938), and Fantasia (1940).

Rapper sues Eminem

Blake Lively makes Forbes list

EMINEM is being sued for $8 million (K21.2m).

The 42-year-old rapper and his record label are the subject of legal action from Raymond Jones, an MC from the group Hotstylz, who has alleged the star has sampled one of his songs without permission.

According to TMZ, the case claims Eminem’s song Rap God, from his ‘Marshall Mathers LP 2’, features a 25-second clip from Raymond’s track Lookin Boy and he wants to be compensated financially for the unauthorised use.

A spokesperson for Eminem has not yet commented on the allegations.

In September, Rap God made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for the most words in a hit single, with the six minute, four seconds-long track totting up 1560 words.

Eminem recently admitted he loves performing live with musicians because he thinks they add a new element to his sound.

He said: “It’s definitely better, it definitely brings a whole new element to it. There are more things to do with your hands. It’s a whole different energy, it’s louder, it’s more in your face, it’s more explosive. For me, music is about feeling and energy and all that.

“We always try to mess around with the order of things. There are certain songs that just, for some reason or another, they don’t work as good live. You have to go with the ones that work best to perform live. Sometimes we’ll [also] add ones in we haven’t done in a while.’’

Rap God premiered via YouTube, on October 14, 2013, and was released in the US on October 15.

GOT to hit cinemas Cameron Diaz and Joey Madden tied the knot on Monday STARTING January 23 and ending January 29, Game of Thrones will be a movie. And not just any movie – an IMAX movie.

Sure, it might turn out to be mildly disappointing when we’ll have to go back to normal TV screens when season five actually starts airing, but seeing any part of one of the prettiest shows on TV on the big screen is going to be a total treat.

In the featured episodes, titled “The Watchers on the Wall,” and “The Children,” not only will we get to see that gigantic battle scene as Jon Snow and the Night’s Watch defend the Wall from the Wildlings, but we’ll also get to watch Tyrion get the ultimate revenge on dear old dad – and in IMAX, no less!

As for the trailer, not a lot is known about season 5, but perhaps we’ll get a glimpse of some of the new faces joining the cast, or maybe of some of the first ever Game of Thrones flashbacks we’ve heard so much about.

Married!

CAMERON Diaz and Benji Madden are married!

The couple tied the knot Monday night at Diaz’s Beverly Hills home after a whirlwind courtship and blink-and-you-missed-it engagement.

All told, we hear that about 100 guests were in attendance and, while a massive tent was set up in the yard, the ceremony took place inside the house. Friends and family filed into the reception tent after the I-dos.

Word just got out today that the super-stealth duo were planning on taking the plunge, boggling more than a few minds since Diaz, 42, and Madden, 35, just stepped out as a couple (and an unconfirmed couple at that) last May. The Good

Charlotte rocker popped the question a few days before Christmas.

But maybe they started planning when they met, because the big celebration didn’t have the look of an 11th-hour affair. A source told E! News that Benji’s sister-in-law, Nicole Richie, and Diaz BFF Drew Barrymore would be serving as bridesmaids, and Gwyneth Paltrow and producer Jeffrey Katzenberg were among the guests who were spotted arriving. Drew’s hubby, Will Kopelman, arrived separately – which would make sense if his missus was busy getting ready with the bridal party.

So it sounds as though Diaz finally happened upon the right relationship, having lamented

less than a year ago how people “chase” marriage because of the lofty ideal that it leads to automatic happiness. In hindsight, however, it certainly sounds as though Diaz’s stance on the possibility of finding the Mr Right was softening.

About her own storied romantic history, the Sex Tape star told InStyle last spring that she was “grateful for all of it – whether it was something quick and passing or something that lingered too long.

“There is not one thing I’ve been through that hasn’t been a lesson that led me to this moment, and I can’t believe how great life keeps getting,” she said.

BLAKE Lively, Zac Efron and Emma Watson (pictured respectively) have made the latest Forbes 30 under 30 list.

While the 27year-old actress – who welcomed her first child with Ryan Reynolds shortly before new year – is known for her acting and modelling career in showbusiness, she appears on the list for her work as an entrepreneur with digital magazine and e-commerce website Preserve, which she launched.

The modest star said: “I have the unfair advantage of having an existing brand.

“I’ll never feel like I arrived. The people I look up to the most are the people that are continuing to up their game.’’

Zac, 27, Emma, 24, and Keira Knightley, 29, also appeared on the list but for their acting success, while Girl with a Dragon Tattoo star Rooney Mara was named for both her acting and humanitarian achievements.

The 29-year-old beauty was recognised after creating a foundation to help children in Kenya’s Kibera slums while she was at college as well as her humanitarian work in Africa as an Oxfam ambassador.

Emma Stone, 26, was given a nod for her acting achievements, as was Ellen Page, 27, who also had a mention for her producer commitments with her first movie, Into the Forest, due out this year.

Forbes said: “This year’s list comprises movers and makers who are achieving the new American dream: 16 per cent either dropped out or never attended college, 19 per cent are immigrants, and 83 per cent have a middle-class or low-income background. They chose their dream jobs at a very young age; 14 years old is the average age of when those on the 30 Under 30 list knew exactly what they wanted to be.’’

Several other entertainment stars to make the list included actors Miles Teller, 27, Ansel Elgort, 20, Tatiana Maslany, 29, and Keke Palmer, 21, who also sings and hosts TV shows. – TV3

Sherlock begins filming again

HIS spokesperson has just confirmed the good news that he’s expecting his first child with his fiancée Sophie Hunter.

But Benedict Cumberbatch put his baby joy to the back of his mind as he returned to work on Wednesday, filming a brand new episode of critically-acclaimed show Sherlock in Bristol.

Knuckled down well once she got balanced up nk win (54.0) Look To The Stars, Racy 1200m C’bury 2yo Plt Good(4) trk Dec 27. Making excellent progress and has plenty of upside. Bunched finish and slow time took some gloss off last win but has a sense of timing about her.

Will be putting in the big bounds late.

MADOTTI (M J Dunn) 2f By Falvelon – Mighty Illusion (3:1-1-0): Finished gamely 1/2 len win (54.0) The Wildman, Military Miss 1050m D’ben 2yo Good(4) trk Oct 18. No luck and forgive 4-3/4 len 6th (55.5) Saga Of The Storm 1110m D’ben 2yo Good(4) trk Dec 20. Lost all hope when stopped in her tracks 250m last time and did well to keep finding line. Blinkers on first time will help her cause. Not hopeless.

SAGA OF THE STORM (L F Birchley) 2f By Real Saga – Fantasy Gal (US) (2:1-0-1): Ran home gamely hd, sht nk 3rd (54.0) Mishani Honcho, Mishani Di Caprio 1200m D’ben 2yo Soft(6) trk Dec 6.

Finished strongly len win (54.0) Real Good, In His Stride 1110m D’ben 2yo Good(4) trk Dec 20. Lightly raced and has plenty of upside. Likely to drift back but will be storming home if they go hard up front. Don’t sell her short with blinkers on first time.

CLAUDIA JEAN (D Hayes & T Dabernig) 2f By Not A Single Doubt – Milzeel (NZ) (1:1-0-0): Strode clear to win with plenty up the sleeve at debut 3-1/2 len win (52.0) Bosnia, Call Me Anything 1000m F’ton 2yo Plt Good(3) trk Dec 20. Created good impression at her only outing although she was opposed to only four rivals and it developed into a sprint home. Will have to boot up from gate one to hold a forward spot but has loads of upside. Respect.

PEPPERANO (L F Birchley) 2f By Court Command – Serrano (2:1-00): Led and cruised home at debut 2-1/4 len win (54.0) Patronizing, Frequendly 1110m D’ben 2yo Good(4) trk Nov 22. Never travelling well 4-1/4 len 4th (55.0) Frequendly 1050m Toowoomba 2yo Plt Soft(5) trk Dec 31. Looked all at sea on the uphill circuit last time and best to forgive that defeat. Wide alley is an issue but no one riding better than Browne. Can’t be ignored.

RACY (G Portelli) 2f By Exceed And Excel – Saucy Nell (2:1-0-1): Did a bit wrong at debut but wouldn’t give in len win (56.0) Look To The Stars, Savannah Rose 1000m W Farm 2yoF Mdn Plt Heavy(8) trk Dec 10. Fought on well nk, nk 3rd (54.0) Perignon, Look To The Stars 1200m C’bury 2yo Plt Good(4) trk Dec 27. Pushed out of the way on the turn by runner-up last start but didn’t shirk her task. Not hopeless.

FLAMENCO GIRL (D J Bougoure) 2f By Snitzel – Dance Girl Dance (3:1-1-0): Niggled at most of way but went down fighting 1/2 hd 2nd (56.5) Flamenco 1050m D’ben Calaway Gal Soft(6) trk Dec 13.

Struggling 9-3/4 len 7th (55.0) Mishani Honcho 1200m Gold Coast BJ McLachlan Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Hasn’t looked comfortable in the wet at past two runs. Poor draw against and desperately needs a dry track. Take on trust.

RIGHT OF WAY (Ms G Waterhouse) 2f By Denman – Street Sign (US) (3:0-1-1): Fought on well len, 1-1/4 len 3rd (54.0) Sampeah, Let’s Make It Rain 1100m R’hill 2yo Plt Good(3) trk Nov 29. Too wet 8-1/4 len 5th (55.0) Mishani Honcho 1200m Gold Coast BJ McLachlan Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Didn’t handle conditions last time and run can be excused.

Drawn awkwardly and others look a bit stronger.

REAL GOOD (T N Miller) 2g By Real Saga – Cruyff I’m Good (2:0-2-0): Stuck to his guns len 2nd (55.0) Saga Of The Storm 1110m D’ben 2yo Good(4) trk Dec 20. Kept trying and beat the rest easily len 2nd (58.0) Le Chef 1200m Gold Coast 2yo Soft(6) trk Jan 3. Made a rookie error straightening up last week when he ducked in which proved costly.

Honest type but needs it a bit easier.

STAR OF NIGHT (D T Kelly) 2f By Wicked Style (US) – Daunting Thought (3:0-1-1): Struggling 5-1/2 len 5th (56.5) Flamenco 1050m D’ben Calaway Gal Soft(6) trk Dec 13. Ran home well 2 len, 1-3/4 len 3rd (55.0) Mishani Honcho, Wicked Intent 1200m Gold Coast BJ McLachlan Soft(7) trk Dec 27. Better effort last time when she returned to home base. Has a bright future but might find this a shade too tough.

WICKED INVESTMENT (Paul Butterworth) 2c By Wicked Style (US) – Savings (5:0-0-2): Bit unlucky 2-1/2 len 4th (55.5) Saga Of The Storm 1110m D’ben 2yo Good(4) trk Dec 20. Never likely 8-1/4 len 5th (57.0) Frequendly 1050m Toowoomba 2yo Plt Soft(5) trk Dec 31. Well beaten last time and hard to see him making the required improvement to trouble these.

Race seven DRIEFONTEIN (Ms G Waterhouse) 5m By Fastnet Rock – Follow Gold (32:8-6-1): Given let-up after 5-1/4 len 10th (56.5) Terravista 1200m F’ton Darley Classic Good(3) trk Nov 8. Bit unlucky 2-1/2 len 6th (59.0) Barbed 1200m C’bury Classic Good(3) trk Dec 27. Three deep (no cover) with huge weight and did well to keep boxing on at the finish last time. Has an excellent record this track. Just needs a bit of luck early from wide gate to keep them honest.

STRAWBERRY BOY (C J Waller) 6g By Redoute’s Choice – Strawberry Girl (US) (19:7-2-5): Fought on well sht 1/2 hd, lg hd 3rd (57.5) I’m Imposing, Estonian Princess 1500m R’hill Festival Stks Good(3) trk Nov 29. Led and didn’t shirk task sht nk, 2 len 3rd (57.0) Rudy, I’m Imposing 1600m R’wick Villiers Stks Soft(5) trk Dec 13. Kept ticking over with 3rd in 1045m R’wick barrier trial last week. Trip is perfect and drawn the rails with Browne aboard. Will be in it for a long way.

SPURTONIC (Ms G Waterhouse) 5g By Flying Spur – Platonic (16:5-30): Spelled after 10-1/2 len last (55.5) Terravista 1300m W Farm L’pool City Cup Soft(5) trk Mar 8. First up last time in was fair 3-1/4 len 5th (57.5) Monton 1500m R’hill Hcp Good(3) trk Oct 25. Back from a letup and encouraging signs when he won 1200m R’wick barrier trial last week. Will give this a shake if he brings his A-game.

PHELAN READY (Jason McLachlan) 8g By More Than Ready (US) – Nancy Eleanor (52:4-6-7): Given let-up after tidy 2-1/2 len 7th (53.0) Miracles Of Life, Bel Sprinter 1100m C’field C’field Sprint Good(3) trk Oct 18. Swept clear 2 len win (54.0) Falino, Mishani Warrior 1200m D’ben Open Good(4) trk Dec 20. Has won two of his past three starts and kept fresh for this. Proven performer on this day and should have it run to suit. Don’t underestimate.

SALUTER (R L Heathcote) 5g By Commands – Rosekay Heart (25:5-53): Spelled and gelded after 1/2 len 2nd (52.0) Jetset Lad 1350m D’ben Open Good(4) trk Aug 30. Led and wouldn’t give in 3/4 len win (55.0) Excellantes, Tambo’s Jewel 1200m Sunshine Coast Open Good(3) trk Dec 26. Back better than ever since having the “ultimate” gear change.

Won the MM Gns this circuit two years ago. Might go on with the job.

GUNDY SON (T J Gollan) 9g By Falvelon – Dantibes’ Treasure (66:1010-8): Not bad after covering ground 5 len 6th (57.5) Cum Dividend 1200m D’ben E&G (Bm85) Good(4) trk Nov 29. Dug deep lg nk win (54.0) Daph ‘n’ Alf, Kempelly 1300m Gold Coast Goldmarket Soft(5) trk Jan 3. Old marvel who simply refused to lose last week. More depth to this field but going so well he can’t be overlooked.

HARADA BAY (J, D & C Meagher) 5g By Haradasun – Acacia Bay (26:66-2): Spelled after hd 2nd (57.5) Lady Echelon 1350m D’ben Open Good(3) trk Sept 27. Kept finding line 1-3/4 len 5th (54.0) Big Money 1350m D’ben Lough Neagh Good(4) trk Dec 20. First up run didn’t go unnoticed and has been set for this race. Won only previous start this circuit. Will be hard to hold out.

INTO THE RED (K C Wood) 4h By Not A Single Doubt – Red Sequin (15:2-3-0): Finished off strongly 1-3/4 len 4th (54.0) Big Money 1200m D’ben George Moore Soft(5) trk Dec 6. Tiring 3-3/4 len 8th (54.0) Big Money 1350m D’ben Lough Neagh Good(4) trk Dec 20. Tends to struggle this trip and drawn awkwardly. Place preferred.

THE BOWLER (R W Smerdon) 4g By Testa Rossa – Specie (19:4-4-0): Tried hard sht 1/2 hd 2nd (59.0) Churchill Dancer 1200m F’ton 3&4yo (Bm78) Good(3) trk Dec 20. Dug deep 3/4 len win (59.5) Paddy’s Gem, Bascule 1400m F’ton 3&4yo (Bm78) Good(3) trk Jan 1. Going great guns since being gelded. This is his acid test but will appreciate carrying 5.5kg less. Not the worst.

ROMANARMA (Desleigh Forster) 4g By Holy Roman Emperor (IR) – Pamplona (16:4-3-2): Tried his heart out 1/2 len, sht hd 3rd (56.0) Handyman Bob, Real Favulous 1350m D’ben Rst1 Good(4) trk Dec 20. Gave his all and beat the rest easily 3 len 2nd (55.0) Daph ‘n’ Alf 1400m Gold Coast E&G (Bm85) Heavy(9) trk Dec 27. Placed all three starts here and racing in great heart. Taking on tougher opposition but worth including in multiples.

ABU BEN ADAM (P Duff) 4g By Murtajill – Gunalda (25:5-5-2): Never in the right spot from wide gate and forgive 10-3/4 len last (54.0) Hopfgarten 1600m D’ben Brisbane Hcp Soft(5) trk Dec 13. Had to make long run and went down fighting sht nk 2nd (54.0) Little Bit Ditsy 1615m D’ben Rst2 Good(4) trk Dec 20. Brave in defeat last time. Loves this track winning two from three. Can run a cheeky race at massive odds.

FOXBAT (T Bailey) 5g By Jet Spur – Count Price (19:3-3-2): Led all the way 3/4 len win (57.0) Telmemore, Canny Excel 1200m Sunshine Coast C2 Good(3) trk Dec 3. Did too much work from outside alley and felt the pinch 6-1/4 len 4th (58.0) Party Spin 1200m Ipswich E&G C3 Good(4) trk Dec 19. Stepping up from midweek restricted company and likely to find this a bit beyond him.

SNIPPETS LAND (P & P Snowden) 4g By Snippetson – Seduction Line (8:2-1-3): Scratched.

PALMERA LAD (Roslyn Pratt) 4g By Tale Of The Cat (US) – Allfores (14:2-1-1): Should’ve done a bit more when resuming 4-1/4 len 7th (58.5) Eight’s A Party 1200m Sunshine Coast C4 Good(3) trk Dec 21.

Made ground steadily 5 len 6th (57.5) Friendly Dragon 1400m Gold Coast E&G (Bm75) Soft(5) trk Jan 3. Fitter for recent racing but might be looking for more ground. Place preferred.

DOUSAICHI (T Bailey) 4g By Not A Single Doubt – Fusaichi Queen (14:2-3-3): Stuck to his guns with big weight 1/2 len, 1/2 hd 3rd (58.0) Neomagic, Just Atina 1400m Gold Coast C2 Heavy(9) trk Dec 13.

Ran on well 3 len, nk 3rd (55.5) Bodega Negra, Requirement 1350m Ipswich E&G C3 Plt Good(3) trk Dec 24. Racing consistently in easier grade but faces a quantum leap here. Hard to rate much more than a rough place hope.

Revelled in going last time to score a well-deserved victory. Drawn the car park but will be in it for a long way.

ARCHITECT (David Lawlor) 4g By Bel Esprit – Rozanee (GB) (38:5-36): Ran on fairly 2-1/4 len 6th (54.0) Big Money 1200m D’ben George Moore Soft(5) trk Dec 6. Bit unlucky 4-1/4 len 6th (59.0) Handyman Bob 1350m D’ben C6 Soft(5) trk Dec 13. Didn’t get many favours in running with huge weight last time and felt the pinch late. Shorter trip in his favour. Will be hard to hold out if they pour the pressure on up front.

Not bad 4-1/4 len 6th (54.0) Plateau Gold 900m Gold Coast Qlty Soft(5) trk Jan 3. Did enough first up here last week. Likes this circuit but wide alley looks the main stumbling block.

Ran well here first up but the wheels have fallen off since. Can’t recommend on what he’s been showing lately.

ELIMINATOR (Ms G Heinrich) 4g By Choisir – Tapanappa (12:4-0-1): Led but ran out of steam when resuming 1-3/4 len 4th (55.0) Sammi Jain 1200m Sunshine Coast C4 Good(3) trk Dec 3. Dug deep lg nk win (56.0) Miggeru, Blooded 1100m Ipswich E&G (70) Good(3) trk Dec 24.

Making good progress this campaign and returns to home track with a perfect draw. One of the major players.

Went out too hard and fainted 9-3/4 len last (56.0) Voodoo Blue Magic 1200m Gold Coast C6 Plt Soft(5) trk Jan 3. Gave a sight until he hit the wall in the straight here last week. Will ensure it’s truly run but last 100m remains the query.

Stuck on well 3 len, 2-3/4 len 3rd (54.5) Daph ‘n’ Alf, Romanarma 1400m Gold Coast E&G (Bm85) Heavy(9) trk Dec 27. Niggled at a fair way out last time but didn’t shirk task. Couldn’t have drawn a worse gate but can’t be ignored at first go in blinkers.

Bled and spelled after 7-3/4 len last (54.0) Adebisi 1010m D’ben Open Good(3) trk July 12. Resuming and has won twice first up in the past. Likes this track and drawn ideally.

Wouldn’t surprise to see her race well fresh.

Hijack Hussy work points to Guineas win

Racing at the Gold Coast tomorrow ....

HORSES RACING

JOCKEY Chris Munce is set to retire after tomorrows Magic Millions.

Chris Munce to go out in style tomorrow HORSE RACING JOCKEY Chris Munce will retire from riding after Saturday’s Magic Millions meeting to become a trainer.

Munce rides the favourite Wicked Intend in the $2 million Magic Millions Classic.

One of just seven jockeys to have claimed the grand slam of Australian racing, the Golden Slipper, Cox Plate and Caulfield and Melbourne Cups, Munce will be at the

yearling sales a day later looking to stock his new stable, Munce Racing. “I feel the time is right and this is not a spur of the moment decision, it has been a long-range plan to become a trainer, Munce said.

“Most of the trainers I have spoken to reckon I’m mad, but racing is in my blood. It’s what I love and what I want to continue to be involved in.

“I met my wife Cathy through racing and have also

built some wonderful friendships in the sport.”

Munce’s career has had its lowlights. In 2007, he was convicted in Hong Kong of taking money for tips and sentenced to 30 months jail.

He served his time in Hong Kong and Sydney and took up riding again on his release.

In early 2013, Munce underwent several months of treatment for throat cancer.

A look at the career of Jockey Chris Munce.

Aged 45 Five Brisbane premierships: 1989/90 (apprentice), 1991/92, 1994/94, 2010/11 and 2011/12 when he set a record 102 winners in a season 43 Group one wins: Most recent Sizzling TJ Smith Classic 2012 Grand slam: Melbourne Cup: Jezabeel 1998 Cox Plate: Savabeel 2004 Caulfield Cup: Descarado 2010

Golden Slipper: Prowl 1998, Dance Hero 2004 The only other jockeys to win the grand slam: Jim Cassidy, Damien Oliver, Mick Dittman, Neville Selwood, Pat Hyland and Roy Higgins. In 2007 sentenced to 30 months jail, reduced to 21, for taking money for tips in Hong Kong.

Served his time in Hong Kong and Sydney. In December 2012, diagnosed with throat cancer.

Returned a few months after treatment.

A SOLID track gallop by Magic Millions Guineas favourite Hijack Hussy has trainer Tony Gollan confident she is at her best for Saturday’s race.

Gollan has a quarter of the field in the $1 million race on the Gold Coast with Hijack Hussy, Fixation, Vienna Royale and Yeager.

Hijack Hussy has been ruling favourite for race for the past month after two unlucky minor placings in the Mode Stakes and Vo Rogue Plate.

The filly won at Flemington in the spring and Gollan believes she is back near that form. “Her work on Tuesday showed me she is as good as I can get her,” he said.

“She got further back than we wanted last time after getting chopped out at the start.

“She handles dry tracks and is very good in the wet. She deserves to be favourite.”

Tim Bell will retain the ride on Hijack Hussy after Michael Rodd, who won on the filly in the spring, was unable to take the mount.

“Michael couldn’t get the right flights (from Singapore) to get him here in time but Tim will get the job done,” Gollan said.

Gollan doesn’t want an extremely wet track for Fixation who was the top qualifier for the Guineas on the strength of a black-type win in the winter.

“This time he has drawn a good barrier which might make a difference,” Gollan said.

Vienna Royale was an impressive last-start Doomben winner and Gollan has no doubt he will run a strong 1400m.

The gelding ran sixth in the Magic Millions Classic last year when ridden by Chris Munce.

“Nothing much has gone right for him during his career and he has always had class about him,” Gollan said.

“He had no luck in last year’s two-year old race and it might be his year this time.”

Tarrant wants improved track for Magic Millions HORSE RACING STAR apprentice Luke Tarrant hopes his dreams of winning the Magic Millions Classic don’t get washed away.

The Gold Coast track is certain to be soft on Saturday after more rain fell during the week.

However, Tarrant is hoping the track’s impressive drainage system can help it get back close to a good rating.

Tarrant will have his first Classic ride on Le Chef who scored an impressive win at the Gold Coast last Saturday.

Le Chef has drawn ideally for a dry track in barrier three.

“Give me a dry track and we are right in it,” Tarrant said.

“I know he won on a soft track last start but he didn’t really handle it.”

“Still, they are all two-yearolds and they all have to get through it.”

Tarrant has had a wonderful season, being fourth on the Australian jockeys premiership list with 62 winners.

He also leads the Brisbane metropolitan premiership with 40 wins and scored

his biggest success to date on Rudy in the Group Two Villiers at Randwick last month.

Trainer Darryl Hansen is also hoping for drying conditions but is confident Le Chef will race well.

Le Chef ’s owner Lenore Saunders is hoping for better luck than her son Andrew had with the gelding’s fullbrother Le Cap in the Townsville Cleveland Bay Handicap last year. Le Cap was beaten a nose in a deceptive finish in the race regarded as Queensland’s top country sprint.

Lenore Saunders bought Le Chef because he is a fullbrother to Le Cap with both being by top sire Exceed And Excel out of the Testa Rossa mare Red For Lou. She paid $120,000 for Le Chef at last year’s Magic Millions sales and the gelding has now returned $55,700.

However, there is a big pay cheque waiting in the Classic even if Le Chef can’t win or run a place.

Le Chef is one of six runners who will be also chasing a $500,000 bonus for horses raced by women.

The bottom line Horses have fairly good eyesight, thanks to their very peculiar eyes.

Racing at Flemington tomorrow ....

Flash ready for Kensington test HORSE RACE

MICHELLE Payne

Payne excited to get chance for Waterhouse HORSE RACE

ONE of the country’s most accomplished female jockeys is set to link with Gai Waterhouse for the first time.

Michelle Payne has been booked to ride Waterhouse’s resuming stayer Hippopus in Saturday’s Comedy King Handicap at Flemington.

“I was really excited to get

the call up and I’m looking forward to riding it well and hopefully getting some more mounts off her,” Payne said.

“Obviously everybody admires her as a trainer and what she has done as a female trainer ... and it’s just going to be great to have the opportunity to ride for her.”

Payne, who rode work for

the Waterhouse stable for the first time on Thursday, said the ride on Hippopus came out of the blue.

“I was going to ride a horse for her on Melbourne Cup day in a two-year-old race last year,” she said.

“That was going to be my first ride for her, but I got suspended in the Moonee Valley Cup on Cox Plate day

so I missed out on that day,” Payne said.

Hippopus resumes over a mile having not won since his VRC St Leger success in April 2013, the only time the stayer has raced at Flemington. Hippopus is at $18 in betting while Payne’s best chance for a winner from her two Flemington rides looks to be Scarlett Billows

for Melbourne’s premier trainer Darren Weir in the Tauto Handicap (1200m).

Scarlett Billows, a first-up winner at a Mornington metropolitan meeting in December, holds the second line of betting and Payne says the mare has returned in great order this campaign.

“It looks a really nice race for her,” Payne said.

SOUTH Australian trainer Sam Turner makes one of his rare visits to Melbourne with a lightly raced galloper aiming for a hattrick.

Turner trains at Bordertown and while a regular visitor to Adelaide he will on Saturday make the 5-1/2 drive to Flemington with Sandhill Flash for the Kensington Stakes (1000m).

Sandhill Flash has won his past two starts in easier company at Morphettville and Turner believes the son of Written Tycoon is ready for the rise to Listed grade.

A winner of four of his 10 starts, Turner admits his visits to Melbourne are infrequent but believes Sandhill Flash has the ability to measure up.

“You’ve got to have the horse that is good enough,” Turner said.

“He’s done everything we’ve asked of him and just keeps taking the steps. “He runs the first part of his races pretty quick, gets them off the bit, but whether he’s a genuine 1000-metre horse we’re yet to find out.”

Turner said Sandhill Flash had a big jump in the ratings following his last-start win at Morphettville on December 26 which forced him to look deeper into the calendar.

He said the Kensington Stakes looked a suitable race but it also gives him the opportunity to test the water for better races.

Turner said he will be guided by how the gelding runs on Saturday as to whether he presses ahead or gives the four-year-old a break.

“This will be his seventh run for the preparation,” Turner said.

“We’re out of whack with the carnivals so we’ll get Saturday out of the road, get back home and assess him from there.”

One concern Turner has is the prospect of a wet track with rain forecast for Friday and Saturday.

He said in Sandhill Flash’s 10 starts he is yet to race on a heavy track although he was placed at his only try on a slow track at Morphettville in November.

Amy Herrmann, Sandhill Flash’s regular rider, will be looking to breakthrough for her first win at Flemington having filled a place once from three rides at the track.

Sandhill Flash is currently a $21 chance in betting behind last-start Flemington 1000m winner.

Jacquinot bay chasing second straight win HORSE RACE

ANY temptation to engage a claiming apprentice for laststart Listed winner Jacquinot Bay at Flemington has been ruled out after a quick look at his record.

The Lindsay Park team has called on top jockey Craig Williams to replace Michael Walker on Jacquinot Bay in Saturday’s Comedy King Handicap (1600m), with the latter to partner stablemate Miss Idyllic in the $2 million Magic Millions Classic at the Gold Coast.

Jacquinot Bay carried 55.5kg to his latest win and rises to 58.5kg in Saturday’s open handicap.

Warrnambool Cup winner Akzar is topweight with 60.5kg but that will be offset by apprentice Jordan Childs’ 2kg claim.

“He gets a bit of weight in it and he’s never had an apprentice ride him in his whole career which was quite surprising when I was looking back through his form,” Jacquinot Bay’s co-trainer Tom Dabernig said.

“So we decided to stick with

a senior jockey.”

Jacquinot Bay was a close on-speed second at Sandown on December 6 and then claimed a Listed win in the Lord Stakes at Sandown on Boxing Day with both races over 1600m.

His Lord Stakes win was his first since he joined the stable of David Hayes and Dabernig having been previously trained by the late Guy Walter who took him to eight wins including last year;s Canberra cup.

That race is among options for the gelding again this year

and Dabernig says Jacquinot Bay has continued to please the stable ahead of his 10th start of the campaign.

“He’s going really well,” Dabernig said.

“He’s a nice horse to have in on the weekend, for sure.

“I thought he was pretty strong winning that Listed race last start.

“That was his ninth run for the preparation and he won.

“He’s by Galileo and is an old, seasoned horse and he just tends to be thriving in work and has been really effective at that mile range.”

GUY Walter’s Jacquinot Bay winining the 2014 Canberra Cup

The bottom line A healthy adult horse has a pulse of between 36 and 40 beats a minute when at rest.

Coolmore plate to be competitive

Racing at Randwick ....

HORSE RACING

LAIDBACK Larry to be competitive back home at Randwick.

Laidback Larry to appreciate Randwick HORSE RACING GAI Waterhouse’s stable representative Mark Newnham expects Laidback Larry to be competitive back on his home track on Saturday.

Laidback Larry, a six-time winner from 18 starts, resumed on December 27 at Canterbury where he settled behind the speed before finishing less than two lengths from the winner in a crowded

finish.

Back to his favoured track at Randwick on Saturday, Newnham believes the horse will get conditions to suit.

“Probably around Canterbury they were a little bit sharp for him,” Newnham said.

“Canterbury you’ve only got a short run to the first corner.

“He was only beaten a couple of lengths the other day so

coming off a first-up run we would expect him to improve a couple of lengths at least.

“He will be suited when he gets up further in distance but a mile at Randwick he’s going to be competitive.”

The son of O’Reilly has won two of four starts at headquarters and will look to better that record when he jumps from the outside gate in the Declaration Of War @ Coolmore Plate (1600m).

With only eight rivals in the race, Newnham said the horse will most likely be up contesting for the lead, a tactic that has proven effective in the past.

“He’s a horse that likes to dominate from the front and being back at Randwick he’s probably more likely to get that scenario,” he said.

“At Randwick he can get his momentum, that’s where he’s best.”

Laidback Larry’s last four wins have come after racing in the lead, including a 5-1/4 length romp in a one-metrowin event over Saturday’s track and distance this time last year.

Well-travelled hoop Paul King has been handed the reins.

Online bookmaker Ladbrokes has Laidback Larry assessed at $8.

THE Declaration Of War at Coolmore Plate (1600m) is shaping as the most competitive contest at Randwick on Saturday after acceptances were released on Wednesday.

Chris Waller will field five runners in the race, including an imported mare having her first start in Australia.

Gosh, a three-time winner from nine starts in France, is also an acceptor in Friday’s Group III Belle Of The Turf Stakes (1600m) at Gosford.

The Randwick race will also feature Joe Pride’s Sense Of Occasion backing up from last Saturday and the Gai Waterhouse-trained Laidback Larry.

In the TAB Rewards Handicap (1300m), a field on nine mares has been declared featuring the likes of Holy Delusions, Hoybell, and the stakesplaced Medusa’s Miss.

Victorian trainer Peter Moody has sent Thermal Current north in search of the a first win since October 2013.

The four-year-old is down to contest the James Boag’s Premium Handicap (1000m) but is also an acceptor at Saturday’s Flemington meeting.

The Hawkes Racing team will be hoping Kaepernick can provide a consolation prize in the Drummond Golf Handicap (1150m) after missing out on a run in the $1 million Magic Millions 3YO Guineas (1400m) on the Gold Coast.

The Randwick track was rated a good at acceptance time. The rail on Saturday will be in the true position.

Saturday’s eight-race programme commences at 1pm with the final event to be run at 5.30pm.

The Bureau Of Meteorology forecast for Sydney is. – Possible shower. 30.

John O’Shea stable produces more stars HORSE RACING

MUCH has been made in recent weeks and months about Godolphin’s two-year-olds but it was one of John O’Shea’s three-year-olds named PELERIN that stole the show at last Tuesday’s Randwick barrier trials.

A son of the champion racehorse and Darley resident New Approach, Pelerin beat a subsequent winner (Global Domination) in a 1050m heat at Randwick on December before last week’s far more emphatic victory.

Pelerin hasn’t been seen since an eventful debut fifth of seven up the Flemington straight back on January 18.

Some of the other more high profile of the Godolphin three-year-old brigade were on show at HQ at these heats including high quality Lonhro colt SARAJEVO who nosed out Woodbine to win his 1045m heat.

A little over a length away in third came Meursault who is coming along beautifully as we head into the early autumn.

Stablemate FAROLITOS fin-

ished runner-up to Meursault in the always portentous Claret Stakes at the Hawkesbury stand-alone.

He, like Meursault, is by Medalgia D’oro and was merely blowing out the cobwebs in his heat clocking in with two behind him.

Up ahead of him was Occitan who was closing dutifully over the final furlong.

One more of O’Shea’s Medaglia D’oros that needs mention is Monogram who has credible classic credentials this autumn given dam-sires Rahy, Nijinsky and Key To

Sri Lanka leader faces crucial poll

HARBIN ICE FESTIVAL THE annual Harbin Ice and Snow Festival is taking place in China’s north-eastern province of Heilongjiang and is expected to draw about 800,000 people to see the sculptures. The festival is known for its colourful light shows that create a magical world of ice. Picture: BBC

MILLIONS of Sri Lankans are voting in an unexpectedly close election that pits President Mahinda Rajapaksa against one of his former allies.

Mr Rajapaksa, in office since 2005, called the election two years early with analysts predicting an easy win.

But many voters have since rallied behind the challenger, former minister Maithripala Sirisena.

There are armed policemen at every polling station because of concerns the election will not be peaceful and free.

Mr Rajapaksa rode a wave of popularity after the civil war ended in 2009 but he now faces claims of cronyism.

His relatives fill many of the most powerful and influential positions in the country, and critics accuse him of running the state like a family business.

MAHINDA Rajapaksa Analysts say Mr Sirisena appears to have capitalised on this perception, making gains among Sinhalese who usually vote for Mr Rajapaksa.

Mr Sirisena is also expected to win most of the vote from the ethnic minorities that make up 30% of Sri Lanka’s population.

There has been a steady stream of voters at this Colombo polling booth.

Azeez Hanifa, 50, came to vote with his wife and mother.

He wants the end of corruption and what he calls “monarch rule”.

His 74-year-old mother says she remembers the country in turbulent times and wants peace.

It’s the first time undergraduate student Harintha Tillekaratne has voted in a presidential election. He wants more economic development and better quality education.

It’s expected that the voter turnout will be high. So far, election day has been relatively peaceful.

Mr Rajapaksa, however, remains hugely popular with many in the Sinhalese majority.

Casting his ballot in his constituency on Thursday, Mr Rajapaksa said he was confident he would be given the leadership of the country for the third time.

Bali Nine member loses final clemency bid SYDNEY: Bali Nine member Myuran Sukumaran has lost a last-ditch plea for presidential clemency, which was his final legal avenue to avoid an Indonesian firing squad.

Sukumaran, 33, received the news on Wednesday at Bali’s Kerobokan prison, where he has been on death row since his 2006 conviction over a plot to smuggle more than 8kg of heroin from Bali to Sydney.

Reports that fellow Bali Nine member and death row inmate Andrew Chan, 30, had also lost his clemency bid have not been confirmed.

The pair first applied for clemency to previous president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, having exhausted other legal avenues to spare their lives.

When Dr Yudhoyono’s tenure ended, the decision fell to new president Joko Widodo, who has adopted a hardline approach to drugs and drug smugglers.

Referring to a “drug emergency” in Indonesia, Mr Joko said in December he would “never give clemency” in drugs cases.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has confirmed Sukuma-

ran’s clemency rejection, saying Australia’s consul-general in Bali visited him at Kerokoban on Wednesday.

Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop said the Australian government opposed the death penalty and would continue to advocate on Sukumaran’s behalf.

“We will make the same kind of representations the Indonesian government makes about its nationals when they are facing the death penalty in other countries,” she said on Thursday.

“We will continue to make representations at the highest level and we will not rest until we have secured that.”

But Ms Bishop stressed that Sukumaran was subject to the laws of a sovereign nation.

“We will do what we can as a government but there are limits on it.”

Sukumaran’s Australian lawyer, Julian McMahon, told News Corp Australia he had not ruled out going back to court.

He said Mr Joko’s rejection of all clemency bids in drug cases could breach the rule of law.

Sri Lankan activist dies COLOMBO: An opposition activist who was shot at a rally in Sri Lanka has died of his injuries, police say, the first death in the bitter presidential election campaign.

Shantha Dodangoda, 57, died at a government hospital where he was being treated two days after he was hit in a drive-by shooting, said police spokesman Ajith Rohana.

Police are looking for a deputy government minister and two of his supporters in connection with the shooting, he said on Wednesday.

Gunmen sprayed bullets as support-

ers erected a podium for opposition candidate Maithripala Sirisena to address a rally in the southern town of Kahawatte around 130 kilometres from Colombo.

Two other people were wounded in Monday’s shooting and are still in hospital, Rohana added.

Sporadic violence was reported from across the country during campaigning that ended on Monday for Thursday’s election.

Police say they have arrested 150 people in connection with electionrelated violence. -AAP news

FRENCH police have named two brothers as suspects in the attack on the Paris offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, as a manhunt continues.

They issued photos of Cherif and Said Kouachi, said to be “armed and dangerous”, and arrest warrants. A third suspect reportedly surrendered.

France is holding a day of mourning for the 12 people killed in the attack.

A minute’s silence will be observed at midday across the country and the bells of Notre Dame in the capital will toll.

Security forces carried out a major search operation in the eastern city of Reims overnight but no arrests were made.

Police cordoned off a block of flats and forensic teams could be seen inside.

The country has been placed on the highest terror alert and extra troops have been deployed to guard media offices, places of worship, transport and other sensitive areas.

Vigils have been held in Paris and in cities across

At a glance SUSPECTS: French police have named two brothers as suspects in the attack on the Paris offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, as a manhunt continues.

MOURNING: France is holding a day of mourning for the 12 people killed in the attack. the world in tribute to those killed in Wednesday’s attack.

Many carried placards reading “Je suis Charlie” (I am Charlie) in solidarity with the victims.

Eight journalists - including the magazine’s editor - died along with two policemen, a maintenance worker and a visitor when masked men armed with assault rifles stormed the Charlie Hebdo offices.

The magazine angered some Muslims in the past by printing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

The offices were firebombed in 2011.

The gunmen were heard shouting “we have avenged the Prophet Muhammad”

and “God is Great” in Arabic (“Allahu Akbar”).

French media, citing police documents, initially named a third suspect as Hamyd Mourad, 18. However, it was later reported that Mr Mourad had handed himself in to police after seeing his name circulating on social media.

Officials then issued photographs of the Kouachi brothers and said arrest warrants had been issued for them.

Cherif Kouachi has been described in the French media as a militant sentenced in 2008 to three years in prison for belonging to a group sending jihadist fighters to Iraq.

French President Francois Hollande said the country’s tradition of free speech had been attacked and called on all French people to stand together.

In a sombre televised address late on Wednesday he said: “Today the French Republic as a whole was the target.”

Thursday’s national day of mourning is only the fifth held in France in the past 50 years.

Paraguay rebel leader ‘killed’ THE leader of Paraguay’s Armed Peasant Association (ACA) rebel group, Albino Jara, has been killed in a shootout, the authorities say.

Albino Jara was killed in a jungle area near the town of Cuero Fresco, some 480km (300 miles) north of the capital, Asuncion, said a government spokesman.

The ACA is a spin-off from the country’s main left-wing rebel group, the Paraguayan People’s Army, or EPP. The government says both groups are criminal gangs.

Another rebel, 18-year-old Liz Rocio Moraes, was killed in the Tuesday night clash.

The EPP rebel group has been active in the impoverished South American nation for more than six years.

The Marxist-inspired organisation is accused of attacking farmers, robbing cattle and kidnapping civilians for ransom.

The Paraguayan government says

the ACA, which has been recently formed, is also involved in criminal activities.

Conservative President Horacio Cartes promised to act with “maximum rigour” against the rebels when he took office, in August 2013.

But cattle ranchers in northern Paraguay say they feel unsafe in their own lands.

Paraguay, officially the Republic of Paraguay, is a landlocked country in central South America, bordered by Argentina to the south and southwest, Brazil to the east and northeast, and Bolivia to the northwest.

Paraguay lies on both banks of the Paraguay River, which runs through the centre of the country from north to south.

Due to its central location in South America, it is sometimes referred to as Corazón de América (Heart of America) –BBC

A FIERCE winter storm has brought freezing temperatures to the Middle East, raising worries about the plight of the millions of refugees there.

Snow has fallen in the mountains around Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, where hundreds of thousands of displaced Syrians live.

With icy winds blowing there have been attempts to anchor tents more securely, and prepare for flooding.

The UN is also concerned about the situation in Jordan, where it is distributing extra blankets.

More than 7.6 million people have been displaced inside Syria since the

uprising began in 2011, while more than 3.3 million have fled to countries abroad.

Winter storm Huda, forecast to last several days, has brought snowfall and freezing temperatures to Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Turkey.

Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip have also been affected.

In Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley – where tens of thousands of refugees are living in tents, and many others in unfinished or unheated buildings – the snow blocked roads and forced many businesses to close.

‘Game changing’ antibiotic discovery

US capture Ugandan rebel leader UGANDA’S military has confirmed that a senior commander in the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) movement has been taken into custody by US forces.

The army spokesman told the BBC that soldiers had visited Dominic Ongwen, who was being held in the Central African Republic, to identify him.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) wants to put Mr Ongwen on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

But the Ugandan government has said it would prefer to try him at home.

Government spokesman Ofwono Opondo told the BBC that Mr Ongwen should be in Uganda by the end of the week, when he would be charged.

The LRA has abducted thousands of children in northern Uganda, and neighbouring countries, forcing the boys to become fighters and the girls to become sex slaves.

The US first deployed about

100 special forces in 2011 to support thousands of African troops searching for LRA commanders.

Dominic Ongwen is considered by some to be a deputy commander to LRA chief Joseph Kony.

The Seleka rebel group in the Central African Republic (CAR) said it had captured Mr Ongwen during a battle near the eastern town of Sam Ouandja earlier this month, AFP reports. “[He] wanted to escape but he came into the hands of our second team who arrested him,” it quotes a Seleka commander, Mounir Ahmat, as saying.

Earlier, US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said a man who identified himself as an LRA defector had surrendered to US forces.

“If the individual proves to be Ongwen, his defection would represent a historic blow to the LRA’s command structure,” she told reporters in Washington.

THE world’s largest container ship, the Globe, is docking in Britain for the first time as it continues its maiden voyage. But how vast and powerful is it and how long until it’s superseded?

Globe: World’s biggest ship THE Globe is more than 400m (1,312ft) long, the equivalent of eight Olympic-size swimming pools.

It is 56.8m wide and 73m high, its gross tonnage is 186,000 – the equivalent of 14,500 London buses, according to the Port of Felixstowe, where it arrived on Wednesday.

But the record-breaking aspect of the Globe, owned

by Shanghai-based China Shipping Container Lines and built in South Korea, is its capacity. It can carry 19,100 standard 20ft containers. That’s estimated to be enough space for 156 million

pairs of shoes, 300 million tablet computers or 900 million standard tins of baked beans.

Laid end-to-end, the maximum number of containers on board would stretch for 72 miles, the distance between Felixstowe and London, or Birmingham and Manchester.

“You would feel dwarfed by the Globe,” says Damian Brett, container expert at Lloyd’s List shipping publication. “It’s like an office block lying on its side. It’s a huge beast.”

The Globe’s maiden voyage began in the Chinese

city of Qingdao on December 3 and is due to end in Ningbo, China, on 25 February. Felixstowe is its first European stop. It will also call at Rotterdam, Hamburg and Bruges.

The Globe is the first of a series of five such ships of the same size to be built

by South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries. All are expected to be delivered by the end of the year.

Its capacity means it takes over from the Triple-E, which can take 18,270 standard containers, as the world’s most capacious cargo ship.

THE decades-long drought in antibiotic discovery could be over after a breakthrough by US scientists.

Their novel method for growing bacteria has yielded 25 new antibiotics, with one deemed “very promising”.

The last new class of antibiotics to make it to clinic was discovered nearly three decades ago.

The study, in the journal Nature, has been described as a “game-changer” and experts believe the antibiotic haul is just the “tip of the iceberg”.

The heyday of antibiotic discovery was in the 1950s and 1960s, but nothing found since 1987 has made it into doctor’s hands.

Since then microbes have become incredibly resistant.

Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis ignores nearly everything medicine can throw at it.

The researchers, at the Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, turned to the source of nearly all antibiotics - soil.

This is teeming with microbes, but only 1 per cent can be grown in the laboratory.

Airport facelift impress travellers TRAVELERS into Mt Hagen are fascinated to see new developments at the Kagamuga Airport terminal.

The airport is a given a major facelift at the cost of K41 million and will be opened soon.

Once completed and officially opened, the facility will boost the image of Papua New Guinea’s third largest city.

Mt Hagen is also a strategic location and business hub of the central Highlands.

Kagamuga Airport is the gateway to Mt Hagen and other neighbouring towns in the Highlands region.

It is PNG’s third largest airport after Jacksons in Port Moresby

and Nadzap outside Lae. This airport serves as the transit point for fly-in fly-out operation for mines like Porgera in Enga Province and to freight personnel and equipment to other resource projects in the region.

National flag carrier Air Niugini currently has four return flights from Port Moresby each day. The airport also serves other Highlands provinces of Chimbu, Jiwaka, Enga, Southern Highlands and Hela.

Kagamuga is the base of Missionary Aviation Fellowship (MAF), Central Aviation and Hevi Lift.

There are other thirdlevel airlines which

have regular flights into Kagamuga, making it one of the busiest airports in the region.

Most other third-level airlines like Travel Air make regular touchdowns at Kagamuga.

Kagamuga Airport is situated directly opposite the Kagamuga Showground.

Showgoers will watch aeroplanes and helicopters landing and taking off from the showground.

Youths from the local Yamka tribe are currently spearheading a cleanathon drive in the airport vicinity in preparation for the official opening which is anticipated in the beginning of the new year.

STAMFORD current.

College to correspond overseas STAMFORD College started in 1950 in Singapore in response to some very unique educational needs of the nation at that time. The war had just ended and the college provided those who missed out on a proper education a chance to continue with their education. At the same time it welcomed adult learners to get semi and profession qualifications through the courses it offered. The founder of Stamford

College, Mr Elias Pereira introduced basic courses like accounting, secretarial studies, typewriting and other vocational courses to cater for these students.

Later, he developed Stamford correspondence courses and part-time education programmes designed to meet the needs of those who could not attend formal classes.

The correspondence courses were for

pre-university and secondary education. It also gave a lifeline to those who wanted to get tertiary qualifications or go overseas to continue their education.

The college later established its first campus in Kuala Lumpur in the 1952.

Stamford’s role as an alternative education provider changed significantly as education needs grew now its in Malaysia.

You’ve never been afraid of an argument. Now, however, in one particular arrangement, things are falling into place too easily. This isn’t just about ensuring things are organised as you think they should be, you want to explore various ideas and options. You needn’t raise issues to do that. Just ask.

While often it’s easy to make plans and watch events unfold as you’d hoped, in several situations you’re facing obstacles. Actually these aren’t so much situations to be overcome as an indication you should consider giving up on these plans entirely. They were once worth the effort but no longer are.

May 21 - June 20

On Monday, the forthright Mars moves into the crucial midheaven angle of your chart. This means plans that are more hopes or even dreams could become reality, and within days. Still, continue to explore your options. Appealing as what you have in mind seems, better ones could soon appear.

In the past you’ve provoked a fight with somebody as a way of discovering their true feelings and you’re on the verge of doing it again. Now, however, it’s unlikely you’ll learn much. The individual in question has no idea where to stand, which means all you’ll achieve is annoying them.

For some months there’s been talk of changes in arrangements in your personal life. While from a logical point of view this is wise, you still don’t like the idea. And you won’t until you’ve actually experienced the benefits of those changes. Take a chance on these. You won’t regret it.

Telling a Virgo not to bother with details is like suggesting you really don’t need to breathe. Yet because certain situations are about to change, thinking about anything but the big picture would be a waste of time. Instead, ensure your arrangements are flexible, then continue to explore other

October 23 - November 22

Ordinarily, when making plans, you think things through, commit, then move on. However, with both the New Moon, on the 20th, and early February’s Full Moon triggering unexpected changes in the structure of your life, even what seem straightforward arrangements are unlikely to remain as you envisioned them. Ensure plans are flexible.

November 23 - December 22

On Monday the forthright Mars moves to accent your activities at home and out in the world. This will lead to exciting changes. Some will be welcome, others unexpected and a few will be long overdue. In every case, things are likely to move swiftly, which will delight you but could worry others.

CAPRICORN

December 21 - January 19

With both Venus, which accents money, and the ideas planet Mercury positioned in the portion of your chart that has to do with what you earn, own and owe, you’ll be examining that side of your life. While you’re up to date on most such matters, expect a few surprises.

Usually, your easygoing nature could be considered a virtue. Yet recently you’ve been irritated by the amazing lack of inquisitiveness on the part of certain individuals. The real problem is that the matters in question involve changes they’re doing all they can to avoid thinking about, still less discussing.

Back from let-up with moderate 4-3/4 len 10th (56.0) Scot Free 1000m Townsville Open Soft(7) trk Jan 2. Blotted his copybook last time but is a lot better than that. Previous consistent form entitles him to another chance.

Has raced well this circuit in the past but that was a long time ago. Take on trust.

TOUCH ‘N’ GO (T Button) 4g By Marechal - Call The Roll (11:51-0): Bucked at start and didn’t do bad job to finish as close as he did 3-3/4 len 7th (57.0) Dash For Viz 1100m Rockhampton C4 Good(3) trk Nov 7. Scraped home 1/2 hd win (59.0) Photobomb, Stormwood 1050m Rockhampton C4 Good(3) trk Dec 7. Only won narrowly last time but the runner-up has bolted in at next two starts and looks highly promising.

Resumed with poor 14-3/4 len last (55.0) Schoorwin 1072m Calliope Open Firm(2) trk Dec 26. Disappointing first up but perhaps the firm track was against her. Proven performer this circuit. Improved showing wouldn’t totally shock.

Balls of Muscle to race his fate HORSE RACE

GERALD Ryan’s Peace Force will line up in Friday’s Group 3 $125,000 Belle Of The Turf Stakes at Gosford.

Ryan homes in on Gosford, Gold Coast features trebble HORSE RACE

THE trainer is every chance of taking out a feature race hat-trick when he takes laststart winners into three features over two days this week.

Peace Force, winner of her last three Sydney starts, carries Ryan’s hopes in Friday’s Group 3 $125,000 Belle Of The Turf Stakes (1600m) at Gosford.

Then on Saturday the trainer saddles up talented fillies Perignon in the $2 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic (1200m) and Aerobar in the $1 million Magic Millions 3YO Guineas (1400m).

Peace Force, a half-sister

to five-time Group 1 winner Eremein, has had wins at Kensington, Randwick and Canterbury and deserves her opportunity at Group 3 level at Gosford.

“She has trained on really well and her form is terrific,’’ Ryan said.

“When mares strike form they can often string a few together and that is what she is doing. “She is such a well-bred mare and if we can get some black type it would be great for her broodmare value. She will be suited by Gosford, too.’’

The final fields for the Magic Millions were declared on Monday, and there are full fields of 16 plus five emergen-

cies in both races. The all-important barrier draws will be held on Tuesday morning.

Ryan said he hoped both fillies could draw between four and nine for their respective races.

Perignon is vying for favouritism in the Magic Millions Classic after her dynamic effort to win at Canterbury last start.

Ryan saddled up Perignon’s sire Snitzel to run third as favourite in the Magic Millions a decade ago.

“Snitzel had a wide barrier and had to work hard early — he was vulnerable late,’’ Ryan said.

“Perignon gets back a little in her races but does run

1200m right out.’’

Ryan hopes the addition of winkers on Saturday will mean Perignon does not have to get too far out of her ground early.

“I don’t like changing gear on horses that have won their last starts,” Ryan said.

“But I thought winkers might help her muster some early speed and get into a position, so I applied to the stewards last week to put them on and tried her in them in a gallop on Friday.

“She worked well and I’m hoping they will do the trick, although Brenton Avdulla did say that he probably could have been closer at Canterbury but he kept her where

she was comfortable in the run.”

Aerobar won the Wyong Magic Millions last start and Ryan said the filly worked brilliantly at Rosehill last Friday.

Ryan intends to gallop both fillies at Rosehill on Tuesday morning and send them up to the Gold Coast by float on Tuesday night.

At Royal Randwick on Saturday, Ryan’s only confirmed starter is promising three-year-old Inz’n’out in the Benchmark 72 Handicap (1150m).

“I’m expecting Inz’n’out will get about 60kg, so I’ve booked (3kg claiming apprentice) Taylor Marshall,’’ Ryan said.

THE Joe Pride-trained fouryear-old had won six of eight starts when sent out $2.90 favourite in the listed Canterbury Classic (1200m) last start but after leading them up, was gunned down late by the John O’Shea-trained Barbed, beaten a head.

“This race will determine what he does in the future,” Joe Pride said.

“It won’t tell me anything about his class, he is going to make a top-shelf 1000 metres or 1100 metres horse, I’ve got no doubt about that, but I need to know if he can make it at 1200 metres, so this will tell me one way or the other.”

Ball Of Muscle has won over 1200 metres, around Canterbury in restricted grade last campaign, but wasn’t convincing, tiring late to hold off a charge from non-winner Britaila Kate.

The pressure will be on in the Takeover Target, with noted speedsters Howmuchdoyouloveme and That’s A Good Idea drawn inside Ball Of Muscle, so it should prove a genuine 1200 metre test.

Glyn Schofield takes the mount, with a perfect strikerate of four rides for four wins. Schofield was suspended last start when Jason Collett took the ride.

“I will ride him to his strengths,” Schofield said.

“He has basically led in all his races to date, but he’s getting up in grade now and I don’t think I have to lead.

“If there are one or two quicker drawn inside or outside then I won’t be trying to lead just for the sake of it.

“He will be much better for that experience gained last start at Canterbury.

“I’m confident he will get a strong 1200 metres.”

Ball Of Muscle is $2.50 favourite with corporate bookmaker Sportsbet.

This race will determine what Joe Pride does in the future.

Godolphin hopes for improvement Kavanagh keen on HORSE RACE

GODOLPHIN’S Gallatin has been an underachiever this season but he is emerging as the surprise threat to trainer Chris Waller continuing his clean sweep of the summer’s feature staying races at Gosford tomorrow.

Gallatin, unplaced at his last six starts, is poised for a return to form in the Listed $150,000 Gosford Quarries Gosford Gold Cup (2100m).

Waller two of the 10 starters in the Gosford Cup including the inform Multilateral and Hoylonny.

Sydney’s premier trainer has already prepared the winners of the Christmas Cup (Saigon Tea), Summer Cup (I’m Imposing) and Tattersall’s Club Cup (Multilateral) this summer to dominate the distance races.

But Godolphin representative Darren Beadman believes Galla-

tin could be about to return to the form he showed last autumn when he won the Group 2 Tulloch Stakes and ran sixth in Criterion’s Group 1 ATC Australian Derby.

“Gallatin has been a bit disappointing this season,’’ Beadman admitted.

“But his work on the track has been very good — he just hasn’t reproduced it on raceday.

“He has had two runs back and this is the sort of race he could step up and show some of his best form again.’’ Sam Clipperton has the mount on Gallatin and also partners stablemate Miniature in the Listed $100,000 Takeover Target Stakes (1200m).

Miniature is joined by in-form stablemates Barbed and Haussman in a crack 12-horse sprint race that also includes Joe Pride’s boom sprinter Ball of Muscle, Howmuchdoyouloveme, That’s A Good Idea, Territory, Cradle Me

and Mighty Choice.

“We will run all three,’’ Beadman said.

“Barbed has really trained on well since he won the Canterbury Classic. I think getting back on a good track helped.

“Hausmann attacked the line at Rosehill which was encouraging.

Miniature has had two runs back and is ready now.’’

The third feature race at Gosford, the Group 3 $125,000 Belle of the Turf Stakes (1600m) has attracted 10 starters including Commanding Wit, who was also an acceptor for the TAB Plate Multi Handicap (1400m) at Royal Randwick on Saturday.

Trainer Peter Snowden confirmed Commanding Wit will line up in the feature mares race at Gosford.

“She is a good mare and it would be nice to get some black type with her,’’ Snowden explained.

Midsummer Sun HORSE RACE

MIDSUMMER Sun is aiming for back-to-back wins in the Gosford Cup, a feat which hasn’t been achieved since Dark Diamond won the 1971 and 1972 editions.

Moriarty won the Cup in 2013 while memorable names such as Iron Horse (1997) and Sprint By (1995) also grace the Gosford Cup honour list.

In-form trainer Sam Kavanagh is confident Midsummer Sun can repeat the dose handed out in 2014. Can Midsummer Sun go back-to-back in the Gosford Cup? Photo

by Steve Hart “I wouldn’t swap him for anything else in the race,” Kavanagh said.

“I think the field last year was a little stronger, and my galloper is more consistent this time around.

“The form around him is particularly strong and the heavier race schedule this campaign should help his chances.”

The key difference with Midsummer Sun this campaign, is his tactical speed, now able to settle much closer to the pace than he did 12 months ago. “The addition of blinkers has certainly

made him a more versatile stayer,” Kavanagh said. “From his good gate on Friday, Blake (Shinn) can have him settling wherever he wants to.”

Surprisingly, Midsummer Sun ($3.70) isn’t favourite for the $150,000 Listed Gosford Quarries Gosford Cup (2100m), with the Tony McEvoytrained Pelicano ($2.90) the popular elect with corporate bookmaker Sportsbet.

Chris Waller has a twopronged attack on this year’s Cup with Tatts Club Cup winner Multilateral ($5) his best chance.

Farrell puts dark days behind RUGBY LEAGUE

A STAR in Brisbane’s runner-up finish in last year’s Holden Cup, Joe Ofahengaue is on course to earn an NRL debut in 2015.

Broncos’ next big thing RUGBY LEAGUE THE work ethic on which his family name was literally forged is set to propel giant Broncos youngster Joe Ofahengaue towards an NRL debut in 2015, just six years after he almost quit the game for good.

The 19-year-old front-rower returned to pre-season training on Monday sporting his first tattoo, ‘Ofahengaue’ proudly etched into his left forearm. It’s a name familiar with Australian rugby union fans who were in awe of the exploits of Joe’s uncle Willie Ofahengaue for the Wallabies throughout the 1990s but one whose foundation lies in testament at a church in Tonga.

Joe’s great grandfather was

originally a Kata by name but when he assisted with the construction of a church in Tonga the family name was changed for the generations that followed to uphold.

“Very proud of my last name. Our original last name was Kata and my great grandpa in Tonga, he helped build this church and never had a day off and so when the church was built, the priest gave him a new name, Ofahengaue, which means ‘Love to work’,” Ofahengaue told NRL.com after a punishing pre-season fitness session in which he powered through shuttle run after shuttle run.

Anyone who saw the New Zealand-born powerhouse in last year’s Holden Cup Finals Series will appreciate

his willingness to work himself into the ground. In two of the four finals matches in which he played Ofahengaue ran for more than 200 metres, and in the Preliminary Final against the Dragons he racked up 198m. It’s a fitness base that comes from punishing 800 metre time trials with his father in the unrelenting heat of Ipswich west of Brisbane as a teenager and one which already has seasoned NRL players watching on in admiration.

“He’s a machine, he goes all day. We got to watch him come through the under-20s and this is his second preseason with us and he’s just a machine and I think he’ll be in line to get a run this year,” said Broncos back-rower Matt

Gillett.

“We had Frankie Molo come up last year and he got his run there and Joey was probably a little unfortunate not to get a run last year when we had a few injuries up front. Definitely this year I think he’s going to have a crack at it.”

Ofahengaue’s willingness to push himself beyond the point of exhaustion as a 14year-old stemmed from the deterioration of his relationship with his father, Josh.

As his older brother Albert was allowed to head out with his mates on a Friday and Saturday night, Joe longed to be afforded similar freedom and very nearly quit rugby league simply to spite his father.

“As a 13 or 14-year-old I wanted to be like my older

brother and hang around all the naughty fellas and [footy] kind of dragged me away from that,” he said. “I had bad tension between me and my dad with things at home and to get back at him I wanted to stop [playing].

“I was just thinking like a normal teenager thinking I’m right and then one night it just hit me; I’m wrong, I shouldn’t be talking to my dad like that and started to take up footy again.

“This one time when I got suspended at school he was just in tears. He had to raise my two other brothers and my sister, he was going through some custody battles in New Zealand and it just shocked him the way I turned out.”

–NRL.com

AFTER playing the first six weeks of the 2014 season, St George Illawarra’s Dylan Farrell looked destined to play regular NRL football after an inconsistent four years at South Sydney.

Building towards a promising year, the centre’s season quickly turned sour when a series of pectoral injuries rubbed him out for most of 2014. After initially rupturing his pectoral against Melbourne in Round 6, Farrell would return to football for the Illawarra Cutters three months later. In just his third game back, an awkward tackle in the final minutes of a game against Wentworthville would see his other pectoral rupture, promptly ending his season.

Labeling it a “long and tiring” mental game, Farrell said his injuries last year took him to some pretty dark places, especially when it came to his second stint in rehab within four months.

“These were definitely the hardest injuries to deal with because obviously I missed the season,” Farrell told NRL.com. “It definitely was as big a mental challenge as it was physical. With the first rupture I knew I was going to be back before the end of the season. I could work around that because I had something to work towards.

“But as soon as I did the other one, I just shutdown mentally. I didn’t really see the point of coming to training and it wasn’t the best place to be, but now that I’m back into it I’m happy.”

Adding insult to injury was the fact his former Rabbitohs club won their first premiership in 43 years.

After four seasons and 70 first grade games at Souths and an injury ravaged 2014 season to boot, Farrell labeled their grand final victory as bittersweet.

“I actually went to the grand final. I’ve still got some of my best mates playing there, which was really good to see in that sense,” Farrell said.

Indigenous All Stars team takes shape RUGBY LEAGUE IT’S a team he doesn’t solely get to select but Indigenous All Stars coach Laurie Daley insists the voting public have done a wonderful job in putting together a team capable of knocking off the NRL All Stars on February 13.

While Wayne Bennett has been given free rein to choose the NRL All Stars team for the clash at Cbus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast next month, rugby league fans have been serving as selectors for the Indigenous All Stars team.

It is not too late to cast your vote for who you think should play and with the recent withdrawals of Nathan Peats (Parramatta) and Andrew Fifita (Cronulla), there are some contentious positions still to be determined.

Close to 150,000 individual votes have already been lodged for potential Indigenous All Stars representatives and Daley said he is enjoying seeing his team taking shape.

“We have got some of the most talented players the game has ever seen who look like they will be in our team so I couldn’t

be more excited to get back into camp with them again,” Daley told NRL.com.

“With the way the voting is panning out we look like having a good mix of players who have been in All Stars camp before and also some exciting youngsters in Alex Johnston and Tyrone Peachey who will get to experience it for the first time which will be great for the entire squad.

“It’s a shame that both Nathan and Andrew have had to withdraw due to injury but that gives the likes of Ray Thompson, Travis Waddell, Tom Learoyd-

Lahrs and Kyle Turner the chance to perhaps receive a call-up.”

Voting for the Indigenous All Stars team closes today and as has been the case in the four previous encounters plenty of attention is on the forwards at Daley’s disposal.

Bennett signalled his intentions by declaring that he went out with the purpose of picking a big, aggressive forward pack but Daley has every faith that he has the muscle to complement the magic of the likes of Thurston, Inglis, Hodges and Idris.

–NRL.com

INDIGENOUS All Stars coach will have Greg Inglis and a host of the game’s best players at his disposal when voting closes today.

The bottom line The two highest scores in Four Nations history belong to New Zealand: 76-12 over PNG in 2010 and 62-12 over France in 2009.

Cahill confident SOCCER

WORLD no.1 Serena Williams in action.

Serena Williams’ bizarre on-court request TENNIS

WORLD no. 1 Serena Williams called for a coffee to perk her up during a sluggish start to her Hopman Cup campaign in Perth.

And the trusted pick-me-up worked a treat for the Grand Slam queen. She took the match in three sets, 0-6 6-3 6-0

over Italian Flavia Pennetta.

Williams, who only arrived in Perth on Saturday, was flat early in her match and, at 5-0 down in the first set, called on a ball girl to fetch her an espresso. The temperature was in the high 30s at the time.

The 33-year-old had her caffeine fix after losing the first set in just 19 minutes, and

she slowly started to find her groove in the second set.

And once Pennetta’s serving game capitulated, Williams dominated to win the match in 89 minutes.

“It’s miracle coffee,” Williams joked after the match.

“I am a coffee drinker. I didn’t have mine this morning and I was just feeling it,

so I just had to get some coffee into me. “I just asked them to get me a shot of espresso.

I asked them if it was legal, because I’ve never done it before. “But I needed to wake up - it’s just the jetlag. It gets you all the time.” Williams said the round-robin nature of the Hopman Cup meant she didn’t need to stress as

much, and her goal this year is to enjoy herself more on court. “I’ve never smiled so much in a match before,” Williams said. “This year my whole goal is to have fun.”

And the fans - who know better than to expect the ordinary from the sometimes unpredictable Williams - drank it up.

SOCCEROOS star Tim Cahill talks up goal-scoring outlets ahead of the Asian Cup matchup with Kuwait tonight.

I don’t take it as pressure because I’ve had this before every tournament I’ve gone into, so the Asian Cup is no different.

I’ve scored in all three of the World Cups I’ve played in and produced in major tournaments.

When it comes to more recent games for Australia, I’ve scored eight goals, so for me it’s all about consistency of performance for myself and helping the team first.

For players like Mathew Leckie and Robbie Kruse, it will only be a matter of time before they get their goals.

But if I take the pressure off the other boys then I’m more than happy to take that responsibility.

That’s what it’s all about as a player - when people turn to you it’s a compliment. I don’t see it as pressure because I’ve obviously fulfilled people’s expectations and I’m looking to fulfil them again.

When you look at club form, Leckie has been amazing and also consistent at international level, while Kruse is a great player that will definitely shine in international football. As for Nathan Burns and Tomi Juric, it’s just about gaining the experience at training and also taking their opportunities when they get them at international level.

The goals are going to come from set plays, whether it be defenders coming in from the back or midfielders, but we’ve got great attacking players who can score goals as well.

It’s in the midfield where we’ve got a power pool of players.

James Troisi, Mark Bresciano, Mark Milligan, Mile Jedinak, Matt McKay, Massimo Luongo - there is going to be competition for the spots up for grabs.

Whoever starts is going to do well, but also if there needs to be changes after 60 minutes we can adapt as an attacking force in the midfield.

Kohli dominates, stands tall CRICKET

THE scoreline might confirm this has been Steve Smith’s series, but folks will be talking about Virat Kohli and his batting feats long after India’s Test campaign has concluded and the limited-overs phase of the summer is under way.

Like Smith, who also became a Test captain for the first time in this four-match Commonwealth Bank Series, Kohli notched his fourth century and again stood tall to bat his team closer to safety in an attritional battle at the SCG. At the close of a third day in which Australia missed another raft of chances and another Indian batting talent – rookie opener Lokesh Rahul – was the principal beneficiary, Kohli remained undefeated on 140 and India 5-342, still 230 runs in arrears. Kohli’s

tally of 639 from three-and-a-half Tests not only carries him beyond the most Test runs scored by an Indian batsman in a series on Australian soil (Rahul Dravid’s 619 in 2003-04) but given his current run of form it would be unwise to rule out him setting a new benchmark for visiting batsmen in Australia.

That record is currently held by England’s Walter Hammond – 905 from five Tests in 1928-29.

But such was Kohli’s mastery today, the Australians were even forced to abandon their on-field tactic of targeting him for some verbal attention.

“We couldn’t get a word in, he was batting too well,” Australian vice-captain and Kohli’s fierce rival Brad Haddin said at day’s end.

“There was no point saying anything to him.” The difficulties that Australia faced in pris-

ing out Indian batsmen who were reluctant to take risks on a pitch that was unwilling to yield anything were underscored when they managed a single wicket in today’s opening session and one less in the session that followed.

The only prolonged moment of bowling celebration came late in the day when Shane Watson snared two wickets in consecutive deliveries, but an unbeaten half-century partnership between Kohli and his new wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha ensured the Australians ended the day frustrated as well as exhausted.

Perhaps India’s batsmen tuned into the live stream of Steve Smith’s press conference the previous evening, in which he revealed that part of Australia’s strategy has been to keep the tourists in the field for as long as possible and then cash in on their fatigued bowlers.

Keleone squad named RUGBY LEAGUE

BY JOHN PANGKATANA

THE Keleone Rugby Football League (KRFL) has named a 41 member training squad to prepare for the Papua New Guinea Rugby Football League (PNGRFL) sanctioned Digicel Super nines tournament.

Vagi said this will be the first time a team from the Aroma Coast area will take part in the southern confederation tournament.

“If our players perform they stand a good chance of being recognised to represent the Southern Zone at the PNGRFL championships possibly in Lae,” he added.

“The successful nines tournament brought out the best from the Aroma Coast area and from those that took part our selectors have come up with a training squad,” he said.

Digicel Cup referee and KRFL official Avis Vanua said all players named are to meet on Monday to confirm their availability.

Vagi lastly said that all interested clubs wanting to take part in the inaugural KRFL season are to attend a meeting at the president’s house at Gaivakala at 3pm on Sunday for an important briefing.

He said they are looking to start the competition with eight clubs fielding teams in the A, B and Under 19 divisions.

Teams already showing strong interest to take part include Brass (Egalauna), KVV (Kwaluvouvou), Pelegai, Anoina, Gaivakala and Paramana to name a few.

THE kyokushin karate Erima Dojo returns back to full swing on Monday.

After a break for the Christmas and New Year period, the popular Dojo that brought Team New Ireland eight gold medals during the PNG Games opens its doors again for training.

The Erima Dojo under the helm of head trainer Sempai Bernard Soari said due to kyokushin karate preparing for a busy year ahead, their student’s holiday is over.

Sempai Soari said they also have several of their students vying for national duties but indicated that only one or two will be taking that next step.

He said the kyokushin karate program this year will be a busy one as well and urged his students plus new and interested ones to front up for training at the Socay Institute, Hohola.

“We have several of our students also being named in the New Ireland Province Karate Federation development squad, so they will be also be preparing to attend its first training camp soon,” he added.

Sempai Soari said the NIPKF squad has 25 athletes named following the PNG Games staged in Lae last year.

Sempai Soari is a Shodan 1st degree black belt holder.

Interested new students can contact Sempai Bernard Soari on Ph.72792854.

WHILE a lot of focus has been put into the development of sporting infrastructure, the Papua New Guinea Olympic Committee is investing on another important aspect of sports – the people, in particular the athletes, coaches and managers.

And they are starting the year off with a high performance conference for PNG’s national coaches and managers. 140 national coaches and managers for Team PNG endorsed by the Justification Committee as well as staff from the High Performance Division have been confirmed to attend the two-day workshop.

The General Management Team for Team PNG in this year’s Pacific Games will also be attending the Conference.

Both have linked up well and if allowed to control the game in the middle, they will dictate the tide of the match.

While up front Eliude Fugre has found good form of late

with pacey Sammy Hiob to form a formidable offensive front-line to back the efforts of Yasasa and Tee. For United who will be without their star player in Rickson Naleng who is travelling out of the province, will be banking on Semi Rufus to take the lead despite being under an injury cloud throughout the tournament.

United coach Gaob Gariki yesterday confirmed that Rufus trained well this week and

will be fit for the match.

Miric said players went through specific tactics to make sure they understand their roles on the field and importantly managing heavy work load.

The Cup winner will receive K900 in cash while second will prize will have a runner up trophy with K700 the third K500 and the rest of the team that have participated in the competition will be given K200 each.

“IT was also good to see government money at work generating employment and skills upgrading for many hundreds of Papua New Guineans,” Abel said.

“The Government remains committed to the Pacific Games and I have no doubt the venues will be completed on time and it will be the best games ever.

“There is still work to be done though and I commend the Minister and his team for their hard work and dedication to this cause.”

Abel said for the Government to sustain and maintain these games facilities after the Pacific Games will need a number of approaches including the public-private-partnership arrangement to have these assets self sustaining.

“The Government will have to provide some initial support where necessary to maintain these facilities over time,” the minister said.

The Government under Prime Minister Peter O’Neill front-loaded nearly K500 million in the 2013 Budget for the completion of the facilities.

It also allocated a further K360 million this year in addition to the K250 million advanced in the 2014 Supplementary Budget to ensure PNG successful complete and host the games this year.
