Column 1

Mutiny defined
At least two political party leaders were left behind in the Opposition while some of their members moved to the government camp on Wednesday. A mutiny of sorts perhaps?
Motion forgotten
Interesting to see where the motion of no confidence moved by Opposition Leader Belden Namah and seconded by Abau MP Sir Peku Temu may end up. It should have been discussed by the private business committee on Wednesday.
2020 nomination
Colleague when asked who he would nominate as the PNG Person of the Year, said “doctors and nurses, but certainly not any MP”.
Covid-19 message
The pandemic has surely taught us many lessons on how to live in peace.
No mercy
Just four years after, and still not fully recovered from, the devastation of Tropical Cyclone Winston, Fiji is again being battered by another Category 5 cyclone, TC Yasa with the same intensity and wrath. And only a week from Xmas. Sad.
Food for thought
Don’t be impressed by money, followers, degrees, big-man status and titles. Be impressed by kindness, integrity, humility and compassion.
