 They are home. They have won. The footy gods were smiling down on the Santos National Football Stadium on Saturday afternoon as the SP PNG Hunters pulled off a fairy-tale finish in their homecoming match with the Mackay Cutters in Round 20 of the Hostplus Cup. SP PNG Hunters celebrate Homecoming with Win over Mackay Cutters 30 – 28 [PNG Hunters photo] Trailing by four points with seconds remaining, the Hunters produced a miracle play with their final possession to beat the Cutters in front of a joyous crowd in Port Moresby to round out their 2022 season. The 78 minutes prior was a seesawing affair as both sides struggled with their ball security in the humid conditions. The Cutters were first to trouble the scoreboard when prop Jayden Morgan barged his way over in the 16th minute thanks to a clever switch play from behind the ruck. Mackay then went over again just three minutes later when Kyle Krisanski-Kennedy took possession out the back of a decoy line to score down the Cutter...

Prime Minister James Marape has urged Papua New Guineans not to illegally settle on untitled land in urban centres of the country. He said this today (November 6, 2022) when announcing an exciting plan by Government to help people acquire land in towns and cities starting in 2023. “I appeal to our people not to settle on land in urban centres that is untitled,” PM Marape said. “The Government is working on an exciting programme, spearheaded by Deputy Prime Minister and Lands Minister Hon. John Rosso, to properly organise all urban areas so that people with proper titles are living on land legally acquired. “I encourage our people not to just go and settle on any land which is not yours. “People are also advised not to enter into any transactions with so-called ‘traditional landowners’, in an informal arrangement, as you may be evicted by someone else who claims to be the ‘proper landowner’.” PM Marape said starting in 2023, the Government would acquire additional land in towns and citi...

The botanical gardens found at Monte Palace, Madeira were an absolute delight. We found them by making a trip adviser search before we arrived but we were blown away by just how good they were on our real-life visit. Of all the gardens we visit, and to be fair they were all great, this one was by far the very best. In fact I would go as far and say that this was a would class garden! Now there are a number of water features here which have caused a problem with the microphone in places but despite this we hope you enjoy this garden which I believe was one of the first videos we ever made – hence out lack of  presentation skills.
