We really need to talk about accountability for our leaders because many seem to evade responsibility for their actions using their power and wealth.  This lack of accountability raises a big question: if leaders can escape the consequences of their actions, what message does that send to the rest of society?  Our laws are meant to uphold justice, but when those in power break the rules, it becomes difficult to achieve fairness.  It's crucial for us to demand that leaders are held to high standards and face consequences for their actions so that we can build a society that truly values integrity and justice.  Change starts with us, and together, we can create a better future!

Rice at K6, fuel at K5, and no wage rise since 2014 leave workers stretched thin. The Kina’s weaker (25 US cents now vs. 40 in 2014), and inflation bites hard. The tax break up to K20,000 a year means no tax on K7,280—K280 stays K280. It helps, but it’s no fix. At K20,000, you’d keep more of a livable wage; at K7,280, it’s just survival cash. Costs outpace pay, and the gap grows—K2,600 short annually. Kids or emergencies make it worse. PNG’s wealth skips these workers. The K280 fortnightly pay is stuck, while living costs soar. A May 2025 review could change it—but we must push. Share how K280 fails you. Demand a wage that fits 2025, not...
