Column 1 – The National

Tough job
UNENVIABLE task the PM has – keeping every party in the coalition government happy. Phew!
Last chance
IT is the last opportunity for some MPs to impress their voters through Parliament on what they have achieved in the past five years. We have to see.
Project funding
SOME MPs describe projects in their electorates as if they have been paying for them out of their own pockets. Wrong! They are using public funds collected from the people as taxes.
That look
AH, you think that I am broke after the festive season celebrations, and also have the Omnicron variant? In your dreams, bro!
Full of garbage
WHEN you pay for a service, you expect to be served. For example the company we pay to collect household garbage two days every week in Moresby North East. They turn up when they want to. So pathetic! MP Kaupa? City Hall?
Food for thought
DARKNESS cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that! (Martin Luther King).
