Letters in brief

Effect swift changes:
I URGE the Marape government to institute swift changes to resource laws of the country within the remaining months. The laws on ownership and free carry equity, identification of benefit sharing streams, final product ownership and sales benefit streams direct into consolidated revenue of the state without or with taxation. Such comparative models be drawn against existing regime. The world had heard Marape’s manifesto of taking back PNG and making it the richest black Christian country on earth so its walk the talk time now or never.

Why big guns?
POLICE morale had dropped sharply over the years and this must stop. Tourists have asked why policemen carry big guns or are armed with assault rifles such as AR15, SLR or M16s. They probe further to know if we are at war with someone.
