O’neill Tells Lies and Believes His Own Lies.

I honestly can’t believe how PO tells lies and believes his own lies. Here are just two facts that I can recall off the top of my head:
1. He says he left a very strong economy this year for PMJM govt. Really? When he took over illegally in 2011, the economic growth was 10% (NSO). Last year it was 0.3%, 2018 report to Parliament.
2. He says Treasurer should stop blaming him for the economy and get on with the job. Well he kept blaming Sir Michael Somare and Sir Mekere for the entire 8 years he was in charge.
PO is truly in a league of his own. He should really check his facts before he says anything.
Papua New Guinea’s inclusion on the FATF grey list highlights weaknesses in enforcement systems against financial crime. The need for stronger government coordination, transparency in company ownership, and firm anti-corruption measures to achieve removal from the list.
The Chief Justice of Papua New Guinea has called for stronger, fairer laws, warning that some current legislation may not serve the national interest. He urged lawmakers to ensure that all laws are clear, enforceable, and designed for the benefit of all citizens.
PNG’s return to the global grey list has sparked political debate, with Opposition MP James Nomane warning of rising costs, investor uncertainty, and weakened national sovereignty amid a K65 billion debt burden.
PNG grey listing is linked to weak enforcement of money laundering laws, with over 5,000 cases reportedly left unprosecuted. Experts warn that unless serious financial crimes are addressed through the legal system, the country risks remaining under international financial scrutiny.
