Instant deportation for Fijian trio says Inguba

THREE of the eight Fijians who have overstayed their visas will be deported immediately, Police Commissioner Sam Inguba said yesterday.
Mr Inguba who is the acting chairman of the National Security Advisory Council (NSAC), said the three who had been detained in Port Moresby would be flown out of the country.
The three were among the eight controversial Fijians brought into the country by the principal of U-Vistract Noah Musingku for security training of youths in the area.
They were also reported to be after dividends that were promised by Mr Musingku for investments made in U-Vistract by Fijians.
Mr Inguba said in a statement: “The three Fijians who had been detained would be deported without being charged because there was no evidence implicating them under the PNG Migration Act. As for the remaining five, we had been working closely with the Autonomous Government of Bougainville (AGB) to bring them to Port Moresby and deal with them accordingly.”
The failure by the five to leave Bougainville by last Dec 28, when their visa expired, has angered AGB leaders.
Vice President of the Autonomous Bougainville Government, Joe Watawi told The National in Buka that the remaining five Fijians must leave the shores of Bougainville immediately.
Mr Watawi and Police Minister, Izikiel Massatt, said these people were now illegal aliens on Bougainville.
He said they must leave immediately.
But the two AGB ministers said that they would not engage the military or use military tactics to remove them from Bougainville.
They gave no clear indication whether the ABG was communicating with Mr Musingku to have the five Fijians released.
The ministers also announced an end to all illegal activities on Bougainville, including the dismantling of roadblocks in the Central and South Bougainville.
The ministers pointed out that the new Autonomous Bougainville Government would like to promote and achieve peace through peaceful means.

Akoitai cautious on mine deals

http://www.postcourier.com.pg/20060103/tuhome.htm

MINING Minister Sam Akoitai has warned Bougainville leaders to be cautious when talking to companies wanting to exploit deposits of valuable metals. Mr Akoitai is also the Member for Central Bougainville, the electorate encompassing the Panguna mountaintop mine that became the catalyst for the 15-year crisis. He said leaders of the Autonomous Bougainville Government had been negotiating with outsiders for possible mining activities in the region. Mr Akoitai learned that several company executives from Canada and other countries had been to Bougainville to talk to leaders about mining. “Mining remains with me as the Minister for Mining,’’ Mr Akoitai said. “When questioning the process applied to engage a private company, they were reminded that the process must be the one that must give good signs of governance, as it would decide whether Bougainville in 10 to 15 years can carry out a referendum (on possible independence). “So this issue has raised a lot of questions to me because we are now dealing with this sensitive issue which started the Bougainville crisis,’’ he said. Mr Akoitai said he was not consulted on the matter and he questioned the process applied in engaging a private company. He was concerned that leaders in Bougainville were talking to interested miners in the absence of a Bougainville policy and legislation on mining, including safety and the environment. “I’m not opposed to mining. I’ve already opened up debate to open up mining but not to engage those interested in mining without these important requirements and then giving the people of Bougainville mining through a referendum,’’ he said. “But with the current situation in Bougainville, mining continues to be a sensitive issue for all Bougainvilleans and especially for leadership in all levels of Bougainville.’’

On another issue, Bottom Line made some comments last week on the Australian aid issue, particularly the plan to base Australian police in trouble spots in PNG.
Now that the details of the new aid program have been released, we can only comment that the Australian Government has been extremely generous with the additional level of funding and its offer to send experienced personnel to help this country.

aus Rohstoff Daily, 29.12.2005:

"Zu den positiven "Überraschungen des Jahres" gehören zweifelsohne die Industrierohstoffe. So konnte Kupfer als einer der "High flyer" dieses Jahr um über 50 Prozent zulegen und ein Ende dieser Rallye ist noch nicht in Sicht. Zwar ist die Gefahr einer Korrektur durchaus gegeben. Allerdings dürfte sich diese, infolge des auch auf Sicht der nächsten Jahre bestehenden Angebotsdefizits, in Grenzen halten. Langfristig ist mit weiter festen Kupfernotierungen zu rechnen ..."

U-Vistract’s claims of paying-up are just dreams

U-vistract paying up soon? Next week? Susie Hapoto, just who do you think you are kidding?
I have the following questions to ask Mrs Hapoto:
1. If Noah Musingku has more than enough money, why didn’t he pay for your ticket to go and be briefed by him in the Solomon Islands?
2. Did he pay for your return trip or was it the investors?
3. If your return trip was already paid for by your sponsors, did Musingku give you some money to help with your other expenses?
4. If so, how much?
5. If not, why not?
6. Did he re-imburse your sponsors costs for the trip?
7. If not, why not?
8. Did you actually see the hard cash — a bank statement from a registered licensed bank other than the Royal Reserve Bank of Papala garbage, to prove Musingku has more than enough money?
9. If not, how can you be sure that Musingku has more than enough money to pay everybody?
For your information, I have also had face to face meetings with Musingku in his “office” at his Touaguba hill residence in 2000 before the court case.
The answer was just the same; “everything’s fine, the money’s already in the country but under someone else’s name, you should be paid out soon”, etc, etc. Lies, lies, lies!
We even signed a contract for U-vistract to give me K18 million for my project! What happened? Nothing! Nil! Zilch!
I paid my own airfares to Port Moresby to talk to Musingku and paid my own way back.
Did Musingku re-imburse my money? No!
Did Musingku pay back the lifetime savings that I invested directly with him? No, not a single toea!
