Letters in brief

No respect, regard for life
IT seems that some people of Papua New Guinea have no respect for life and have made this election period a chaotic one causing harm and danger to innocent citizens. If our security forces do not have the manpower and resources to handle this situation, then bring in the international forces to show this lawless people that they cannot continue this barbaric behaviour.

Good Citizen

Past assessment ignored
AFTER past general elections, different election observer groups always delivered similar damning assessments. Most had identified the poor state of the electoral roll as a major problem, with thousands of people being turned away from polling booths because their names were absent. Obviously, past governments never took the assessment seriously and gave prominence to the electoral roll.
