From Rohan on The path to kina convertibility in PNG: part one
Hello Manuel - I think you are thinking of depreciation in local currency terms, i.e. going from 4 Kina per USD to 3 Kina per USD (which is exactly the same as 0.25 USD to .33 USD per Kina)- that would mean that every dollar of exports would go down from 4 Kina to 3 Kina.
But what Dr Davies is talking about is a foreign currency depreciation i.e. going from 3 Kina per USD to 4 Kina per USD (which is exactly the same as .33 USD to .25 USD per Kina), which means that every dollar of exports would earn 4 Kina instead of 3 Kina.
It sounds like you would prefer the latter, in which case you agree with Dr Davies.

To simply educate and punish will never solve the problem. Students are clearly drinking as it’s the only way they know to combat trauma in their life. Alcohol and emotional well-being counselling is needed, and group work to provide support too. Address the emotional stressors, listen to the reasons cited by the students themselves

Thanks for this article. I found it really interesting and thorough!
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...
From Stephen Howes on The ‘new normal’: life with COVID-19 in PNG
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?
