The great Simbu Leader Kondom Agaundo told Australia: “Tomorrow my sons and daughters will come and will speak in your language and you will not laugh.” That son has arrived. Leader, patriot, defender of the constitution - Yomba.

Repost🇵🇬🌄

I had the pleasure of visiting Hon. James Nomane’s village. I went there with no storyboard or planned narrative—just to capture some shots. But after hearing the stories from him and reviewing the footage, everything came together:

Legends of the Muniau-Sefu Fall

Where Unggai, Chuave, and Lufa meet,
Mountains rise and dark gorges breathe deep,
For millennia warriors guarded this land,
Singing the bond between earth and man.

At night they sing of life, loss, and glory,
Crackling fire, sharp spears, and old warrior stories,
Their voices roll solemn through smoke and ember,
Chanting the strength of Yomba forever.

Strong as the tree unbroken by storm,
Wild as the river in monsoon form,
High as the mountain that watches the sky,
Keen as the eagle whose shadow flies by.

The children, fierce-hearted and loyal,
Carry the songs through struggle and toil,
Reminded to fight, stand out and stand tall,
And Honour The legends of the Muniau-Sefu fall.

SEVEN YEARS OF DARKNESS: NO NATIONAL FUEL AND ENERGY POLICY TO END PNG'S DEPENDENCE AND FRAGILITY
Thursday, 21 May 2026

The Prime Minister has championed a seven-year energy policy vacuum. Since 2019, we have no refinery, no rural communities connected to the grid, no fuel price reforms, and no strategic fuel reserves. The current fuel crisis is not an accident. It is the inevitable harvest of leadership failure, institutional inertia, and a government without vision.

Today, PNG remains 100% dependent on imported refined petroleum. Every litre of fuel is processed offshore, shipped at foreign margins, and taxed on arrival. The result: pump prices consuming 18–24% of rural household expenditure. The World Bank describes this as a poverty tax paid daily by the people. The continuous blackouts and import dependence connote incompetence, rigidity, and intemperance in leadership.

The proposed policy alternative is for the immediate blanket removal of import duty (8%), excise (~K0.22/litre), and GST (10%) on all fuel imports to bring concurrent price reduction and relief.

For the long term: a PNG National Refinery, developed through a public-private partnership utilising our LNG feedstock, delivering energy sovereignty, over 2,000 direct jobs, and an additional K0.30–K0.50 per litre fuel price reduction. In addition, accelerated hydro and solar investment targeting a 60% renewable electricity mix by 2035, a solar micro-grid programme for rural communities, and universal grid access will provide reliable power to students for study, nurses for vaccines, and farmers for crop processing.

The UNDP is unambiguous: energy access is the highest-leverage intervention for improving the Human Development Index. Every percentage-point increase in electrification correlates with measurable gains in health outcomes, school enrolment, and household income. The Opposition’s policy reaffirms the 2018 APEC promise in Port Moresby and aims to reduce the household energy cost burden from 20% to 12% of expenditure, advance PNG's HDI ranking by 8–12 positions and generate 5,000–8,000 jobs in energy infrastructure by 2030.

Underpinning all of this: a reformed ICCC with a mandatory, publicly published fortnightly fuel price formula; an independent Fuel Price Audit Unit with powers to compel importer cost disclosure; and penalties of up to K5 million for price gouging. Transparency, accountability, and consequence underscore the success of the alternative policy, and are notably absent in Marape’s energy governance.

Seven years. No refinery. No rural grid. No strategic reserves. No price formula reform. No APEC bilateral agreement follow-up. The Marape Government has squandered time and resources. Papua New Guinea deserves a government that builds, that puts people first, that delivers. At every crises we remember that this government failed miserably. No blame game!

Remove the taxes. Build the refinery. Power the nation. Raise every Papua New Guinean.

Slams Fuel Payment Delays, Orders Immediate Action to Resolve Disruption

PNG Online News | Satur. May 16, 2026

PRIME Minister James Marape has ordered immediate action to resolve delays in fuel subsidy payments, warning that bureaucratic inefficiency will not be tolerated as some service stations face temporary closures.

Speaking this morning in a statement, the Prime Minister revealed that K576 million remains in a Central Bank trust account designated for fuel subsidies, while K246 million has already been paid to importers.

“We have K576 million sitting in the Central Bank trust account right now while K246 million has already been paid,” Prime Minister Marape said. “This is inefficiency on the part of the bureaucrats – Treasury, Finance, ICCC, Central Bank.”

PM Marape said he is investigating why payments have not been processed to address the disruption and warned that officials failing to act could face dismissal.

“I am getting to the bottom of this as this is below government level, why they have not attended to this national crisis situation,” PM Marape said.

“The government has done its part. We have created a public policy space, made available a K1 billion facility, with the funds sitting at Central Bank. Why it is not being moved out is something I’d like to find out. If it means sacking some people who are not working, we will sack people.”

The government has already released K300 million of the K1 billion facility allocated to maintain fuel prices at April 2026 levels.

The intervention is aimed at shielding consumers from price increases, but operational delays have led to closures at several service stations.

“I have instructed the relevant offices to attend to the matter today and restore normal supply,” Prime Minister Marape said. “We are working to fix what went wrong along the supply chain.”

The Prime Minister commended Minister for Rural and Economic Development Joseph Lelang for leading the initial response alongside the Treasury and Finance Ministers to coordinate with stakeholders.

“Fuel supply involves many moving parts,” he said. “Treasury, Finance, the Central Bank, commercial banks, ICCC, fuel importers, and fuel retailers must work in unison to deliver on government policy and ensure consistent supply to the public.”

He appealed to the public for patience while authorities restore normal operations.

“We ask the public to bear with us today as we resolve this issue and restore services,” PM Marape said.

The government reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining stable fuel prices and ensuring uninterrupted supply through coordinated action across all agencies.
