Secret flight
A flight originating from India this week passed through Jakarta, then Jackson airport in Port Moresby on Tuesday, then to Fiji. And we all thought flights from India to PNG were a no-no!
No sound
Speaker Job Pomat was yesterday forced to adjourn Parliament after the sound system crashed as Treasurer Ian ling Stuckey was about to respond to money laundering allegations. Oops!
Vaccination drive
Every effort has been made, every incentive given, every degree of persuasion pursued to get as many PNG people as possible to get vaccinated. Cash, free meals, free transport. Delta is serious folks. Roll up your sleeve, for all our sake.
Must read
A must-read opinion piece on Radio NZ’s webpage asks: Is PNG sleepwalking through the Covid-19 pandemic? Like a potent Stealth jet fighter, the Delta variant may be operating below the radar.
Awkward moment
It can be an awkward moment when your ex is mentioned, or appears suddenly, with your spouse right beside you. Just blush? Ignore? Change the topic?
Main topic
Somewhere out there your name is mentioned when couples argue. You need to come out clean!
Retirement trend
In June it was Boyd Cordner. Now, another NRL star, James Maloney, has retired. He played 14 Origin games, three for Australia, represented Country Origin, Prime Minister’s XIII, won a premiership in 2013 for Sydney Roosters and in 2016 for Cronulla Sharks.
Thought for today
You think about the destination you want to reach all you want but you will never get there until you start the journey.
