. By Naomi Takoma : FM 100  On this day 246 years ago, America gained its Independence, and for Papua New Guinea through shared values and common interest, our history or relationship with America dates back to World War Two. Picture: American Independence celebrations at the Hilton Hotel in Port Moresby The leader of the US Embassy to Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, Chargé d’Affaires Joe Zadrozny made these remarks last week Friday (1st July) during the cocktail reception at the Hilton hotel in Port Moresby. Chargé d’Affaires Joe Zadrozny recalled WW2 as the biggest and deadliest war in history, and a turning point for American history. He further stated that the people of PNG displayed remarkable courage in the war with indescribable kindness and compassion to the American troops who were stationed in PNG. “While we usually talk about the US-Papua New Guinea relationship dating back to WW2, in fact there is another important event that links the two countrie...

 The SP PNG Hunters have produced an inspired 36-22 win over last year’s grand finalists Wynnum Manly Seagulls in Round 14 of the QRL Hostplus Cup.  In picturesque conditions at BMD Kougari Oval on Saturday afternoon, the Hunters embraced the lively Wynnum crowd and their intent was evident from the kick-off. The PNG side worked into attacking field position confidently with just their second possession and looked dangerous with the ball until some resolute Seagulls’ defence forced the first error of the match. SP PNG Hunters Media  Marching upfield themselves in response, it was Wynnum Manly who would go on the attack next. They looked to have scored courtesy of a smooth right edge shift only for Hunters’ backrower Kitron Laka to appear out of nowhere in cover and knock the ball loose over the line, saving a certain try.   Discipline was the telling difference between this Hunters’ side and the one that lost to Ipswich last week. The Hunters poured through the middle as their middles ...

Media Statement from Anthony Wagambie Junior- ACP and Commander NCD/Central  A stand off outside the Sir John Guise Stadium calumniated into a violent attack in which supporters of rival candidates clashed with bush knives and other offensive weapons.  Police , PNGDF and Correctional Services personnel responded immediately.  A cluster of makeshift tents set up outside the Stadium and along the fence line of Vision City mall were removed by the security forces.

 Papua New Guinea Opposition Leader Joseph Lelang is disturbed by the social media post, showing a picture of a young girl stripped naked and helplessly at the hands of hooligans up in Tari. In a media statement, Mr Lelang is calling on the Government to ban social media platforms. Mr Lelang being angry over this, says these culprits should be dealt with by the law immediately within 24 or 48 hours. “Normalcy and morality no longer exist in this society. What kind of society are we trying to raise our future generation – why are we waiting this long, we need the police to act and apprehend these culprits,” he said this furiously. He said the Prime Minister James Marape must put a stop to his never-ending jet – legging and stop and clean this anarchy in his province immediately. Mr Lelang asked why criminals, murderers, rapists, terrorists and all these hooligans to be running around freely and holding the country to ransom.  He said seeing this type of news was horrible to all decent c...

If, like me, you are a big fan of cacti and succulents then this video may be right up your street. I had a large specimen of Echeveria ‘Sea Monster’ and in my usual fashion became bored with it and left it outside over the winter to fend for itself. Of course with temperatures down to minus 6 degrees celsius the whole thing turned to mush – or so I thought. I cam across this little section of stem which was found growing through the bark chips which went down this early June! So if you are interested in what became of this lucky survivor then why not check out our video. We also discuss a little more about the simple propagation techniques required to grow more of this wonderful cultivar for free.
