 Former PNG prime Minister and Member for Ialibu-Pangia and leader of the People’s National Congress Party, Mr. Peter O’Neill said,  “The National General Election has been a shambles with lives lost and property destroyed yet, the Police Commissioner has time to lodge a complaint, without any evidence, with the Electoral Commissioner calling for ballot boxes in Kuare LLG, Ialibu Pangia to be withdrawn from counting.” Mr. O’Neill  “The Commissioner in a letter to the Electoral Commissioner states that he is acting on a complaint from Pangu Pati candidate, Mr Stanley Liria and drops the name of the Prime Minister, leader of Pangu Pati.” “It would seem very clear to any reasonable person that this letter from the Police Commissioner is nothing more than a veil for Pangu Pati and is biased and designed only to interfere in what has been a peaceful and properly conducted polling and counting so far in Ialibu Pangia.” “It is difficult for Pangu Pati to accept perhaps that after the reported

The surreal Spiti valley in the state of Himachal Pradesh in India is home to some of the world’s highest villages. Each of these villages come with their very own tag line. Hikkim boasts of the world’s highest post office. Tashigang is home to the world’s highest polling booth.

It doesn’t matter whether you are on

Welcome to our slide show of  Elche Garden – Huerto del Cura, Alicante Spain. This wonderful garden is home to a fantastic display of cacti, succulents, Tropical, Exotic and Mediterranean plants. The undisputed star of the garden is the specimen of Phoenix dactylifera known as the ‘Imperial Palm’, a date palm with 7 arms that emerge at a height of 1.50 m from the main trunk and an age of about 165 years!
