FIRST, a “sick man” is removed from office under dubious circumstances!
Next retrospective laws are enacted by a panicky parliament, all aimed at making sure that same sick man is not allowed back into parliament.
An age limit is set for the prime ministerial seat, purely directed at this sick man!
All kinds of labels are thrown at him. Evil, corrupt, etc!
Mind you, most of the O’Neill camp, including O’Neill, was part and parcel of that sick man’s so-called corrupt regime for the past nine years.
Next we were given free education, free health services and less tax for certain wage earners.
Clearly all election gimmicks for the next few months until the election in June, upon which the new government formed may amend again.
How about no tax at all for every working Papua New Guineans and setting free all prisoners?
These will truly gain everyone’s support, especially the first point.
Finally, at last, the disciplinary forces choose a side to be on!
Forget the courts and the Constitution, they chose the O’Neill faction!
My question is: How disciplined must a person be to obey a Supreme Court ruling?
All this time they all been saying: “We are monitoring the political turmoil closely”!
How closer can you get now?
If the so-called disciplinary forces cannot uphold the law, what is the point?
Go for a coup! Sack the judges and courts! Set all prisoners free and then rewrite our constitution and law books to suit parliament and the disciplinary forces!
