Very informative.
From Ninga Role on University drinking: why students drink, and the consequences
Well articulated.
From Albert Schram on University drinking: student views
Indeed a good combination of punitive measures and health education are probably the way to go. There is no point in engaging in a blame game. Before that a more effective approach can be implemented, however, the exclusive focus on punitive measures, which turn out to be completely ineffective, must be reconsidered. This seems yet one bridge too far...

Yes, the COVID-19 vaccine is extremely safe. It is the only long-term protection to COVID-19. With the Delta variant, PNG is very vulnerable to an intense COVID-19 pandemic as Fiji is currently experiencing. The vaccine does NOT contain any tracking device.

Dramatic change after 2012. Can we call it the Peter O'Neill effect?
From Kevin Eliesa Yowait on How can Papua New Guinea gain more opportunities for seasonal work in Australia and New Zealand?
Yes, thanks everyone, all your comments are great. Here in Alotau, MBP, there is bribery & corruption & favoritism being played. The labour office & provincial office gets the application forms & never make any public awareness to people. The forms are kept away from people taking the opportunity & sometimes charge people for the forms. It's ridiculous, also jealousy is rife everywhere but only a minority are good. I'm gonna report this matter soon if I see any corruption in Alotau to national mobility office, Moresby. Its unfair & I'm upset!
From Manuel on The path to kina convertibility in PNG: part one
Firstly, thank you so much for the insight in our nation's current forex statues. I would like to oppose the idea of kina depreciation, as it would have a negative impact on our economic activities, especially our exports and our balance of trade account ultimately. When the kina value is depreciated, the cheaper our anticipated exports from our resources and oil & gas sectors would be. This would result in low inflow of foreign exchange and further depreciating our kina currency. I am not sure if this is the right time for the economy to depreciate the kina value. There is so much economic activities expected to commence in the near future, and a depreciation in kina would see unfavorable outcomes. This is just my opinion. Thank you
From Albert Schram on Health SWAps work
A truly promising approach. Unfortunately, there are more fundamental challenges with aid in terms of efficacy, transparency and governance, in particular the lack of feedback loops. Without addressing these more fundamental issues, progress is necessarily going to be limited.
