PM’s comment challenged

THE address by Prime Minister Peter O’Neill to the PNG Business Council Back to Business Breakfast cannot go unchallenged.
Challenging certain issues the prime minister raised is not knocking the country or being unpatriotic.
We just need to be careful not to delude ourselves into believing that all is well or convince ourselves into a false sense of comfort.
“Back to business” should not mean back to conducting business the way we have been accustomed to the last few years.
It should be about identifying mistakes and correcting them.
The prime minister’s statement was beautifully written and cleverly pitched.
The economy is not in good shape and is on life support.
Businesses admit this.
Kina Bank says businesses are doing it tough and we are seeing signs of stress.
