Oh for this beautiful Sunday
when I hear the bird sing
only one bird
boo hoo

Where have all the birds flown
why is Enga bereft of birds
Why is my paradise
bare
boo hoo

My forefathers told me
in a dream
that Enga was heaven
Then where is my heaven
not here
boo hoo

I have a song to sing
boo hoo
it is a sad song
boo hoo

I want to sing a merry song
a merry song for Jesus
But all I have is a sad song
I can't sing that for Jesus

Boo hoo
Boo hoo
Boo hoo

To negotiate with Engans

To negotiate with Engans is to wander along strange paths. Suddenly the path is gone ..pfttt!

 

then suddenly the path is bursting to get moving again, to drop you at the end ..

G20 episode is a 'so what?' something

Kevin Rudd’s position vis a vis GW Bush and the G20 episode is a ‘so what?’ something, Malcolm. I don’t think any reasonable Australian would be too upset by such a pronouncement. Bush has been the worst thing to happen to the world since ... well, a long time, anyway. Bush has made so many gaffes that one more, even if made public by Rudd and The Australian, would only serve to reinforce public perceptions.
And I also am a bit miffed by the suggestion [made by you on Insiders yesterday] that Telegraph may not be considered erudite enough to be recipients of political handouts.
I hold a PhD and I am an avid reader of the Telegraph, mainly because it allows me a voice via comments such as you provide.

Rugby League Referees and all that NOISE!!!!!!!

Your comment has been published:

How about shutting them up during the game? All this shouting ... they are not coaches. Why should the spectators be subjected to all their noise? If a player transgresses then penalise him. We, the public, do not need to hear referees shouting instructions throughout the entire game. It is needless. It is silly. It is offensive. It is environmentally ludicrous! It is tiresome. It makes it difficult for many of us to watch the game as all we hear are the constant irritating noises from referees.

John Winston Howard: Criminal at Large

John Howard should be brought to book for the harm he caused our nation. He should go to trial for the death of the former asylum seekers whom he vilified and had imprisoned and subsequently forced back to their deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq.There is no way that this hypocritical former politician be allowed to escape the consequences of policies and decisions he wreaked upon Australians.Moreover, he should shoulder the economic cost of compensation given to victims of his vile regime.He lied to us continually.He lied to Parliament.Howard should be regarded as a criminal because he used democracy to commit shocking acts against humanity: The Pacific Solution, Woomera, Iraq ... to name just a few examples of inhumanity.

Sir Tei was a noble man. Although I was much taller than he, Sir Tei towered over most of us in spirit and in sheer class. His eyes had that penetrating appearance of a person who sees and not just looks.

I have a photo of Sir Tei standing in front of Engans clad for war; spears and galvanised iron shields, bows and arrows, and not a gun in sight. His group was ready for war against an equally irate Teremanda/Amala group, just to the west of Wabag Town.

Sir Tei calmed his group and did the same to the others and you could see that Sir Tei had the respect of both warring groups.

No one else in Wabag at that time could have stood between both groups at war with each other and prevented war.

Such was the status of Sir Tei.

Most of all Sir Tei was a gentleman and a warm human being.

Thanks Adrian, Sir Tei was a noble man, his legend will live through the minds of many engan generations to come. Great simplity with higher visions was he. Education was no barrier to his determination for his engan people, highlands region and PNG.

On an other note, today much education has made us educational fools and professional con-artists. Claimed leaders are corrupted and consumed with pride. Again our fathers during Sir Tei's days were loyal tribesmen to their tribe leaders, today no-one listens to anyone.
Sir Tei's Glorious purposes for enga are our failures today. Only a heavenward mind will liberate us from the bondage of poverty and give back what has been long aspired by our forefathers.

If Sir Tei was successful in delaying independence, would engans (PNG) be ready for it (independence) today??? Despite the leadership denial, people enjoy being loose cowboys than colonial bandits anyway.

I had a fond respect for Albert when I was manager of Coltra and of Wabag Lodge back in the late 70s and 80s. Our family's home at landamanda overlooked Teremanda and Sari and often Albert walked up the hill and sat on the grass with us and the afternoons wafted by so pleasantly.He was a good bloke. We all loved him. Even though I was older than my friend I had a deep respect for his penetrating insights into the world of culture, religion and politics. He and Akii Tumu and Luke Kembol and Ben Lokain and Peter Piaoen and Theo Askon walked Enga with grace.Don Kapi and Leoas Kipalan also were beneficiaries of the legacy of Albert but none reached the heights that my friend Albert reached.I am disheartened to read the mockery contained in some lines written on this forum by a longlong who has no idea of respect and of Enga.My son was born at Sopas. Landapen still carries his Enga name for we are all Piao and we are all Engan, no matter our birthplace and colour off skin.Sir Albert, old mate, I'll look for you when my time arrives and maybe we'll have a few laughs as we did all those long years ago.See you later, wantok.

When Ipatas was a boy
and his dinger was his toy
he thought that life was joy
if his smile was smarmy and coy

As he grew to manhood

knew his fate was perceived as good

From Mayor to Governor
from Malya to Green House
our Ipatas changed his game
no longer the same
Our Pete developed his fame

Dr Gerr Bells and Bob Marley

Bob Marley was my lover. That was before he died. I have had a thing for corpses but Bob was not the prettiest corpse in the graveyard. I learned my stuff from my grand father. He had many lovers. They were, so to speak, a bit reserved about displaying their affection for Grandfather Gerr Bells. After all, they knew where they were going and, as with many of their comrades, did just about anything to stay out of the kitchen. The ovens became too hot and they didn't want to spoil their looks. So like it or not they became lovers of my grand father.
Jealousy is a curse and so many of Grandfather Gerr Bells' lovers became subjected to taunts. Now in my mind there is nothing so low as a taunt. They may pack you off to Bergen Belsen or they may make you eat cake but to taunt you for enjoying the flesh just before you are dragged screaming into the kitchens is tantamount to voting for The Chief. And that is a nasty thing to do.
So!
So! This ay yer animal Bob Marley did something that not one of us would contemplate and that was to contemplate. He was told to do it. This big woman with wide hips and a furry moustache shouted from the kitchen door: "Hey you! Dr Gerr Bells told you to count them plates. Now do as you're told!'
So Bob Marley set about to contemplate.

John Howard destroyed my Australia

Howard destroyed my Australia; made it mean. No, he didn't make it mean; he allowed its inherent meanness to stride the social stage like some arrogant nobody wanting to kick others while they were down.
This mean Australia took Koori kids from their communities and in their precious meanness pretended they were working for Christian values.
Howard played upon this mean streak and made it a pervasive character of Australia.
Howard belonged to a group of arrogant people who lied to their fellow citizens to justify Vietnam War participation and to invade Iraq on an equally vicious fabrication called WMD.
Howard made refugees out to be criminals. It was Howard who defameed Dr Haneef and allowed Ruddock to persecute Ms Rau and others and to lock them up as if they were murderers.
Howard did nothing for the economy of ethics and morality; all he did was to provide a clear parade for the Kerry Packers and other rich nobodies.
This so-called legacy of John Howard was to foster the betrayal of Australia and to ennoble denial as a code of honour.
For this people paid with their principles.

he saw more than we did

He took Enga to Waigani

China kills its own citizens through pollution

I have been in China during the past four years and I suffered serious respiratory problems with each stay. I was hospitalised twice due to lung infection. On return to Australia the first thing I noticed was blue sky. I have had no respiratory problems since coming home.
China has the world's worst air and the fact that hundreds of thousands of Chinese die from pollution derived causes should awaken Hu and Wen to this crisis.
Being at par with the industrialised West is no excuse for killing one's own citizens through greed and neglect.

I grew up in the late forties and fifties and even shook the sweaty hand of Clive Churchill at Redfern Oval. I understand the essence of League. I played International Rugby. I understand that game too. What I do not understand is the fact that Gallop has allowed League to become the joke it is now. All he can do after a farce has become obvious is to waffle about how hard it is for him in his job. My solution: hand the reins to me or to Gus Gould or to the grocer down the road; all of us could do a better job than Gallop.

Mugabe's love for terror

Hi

Read your excellent article in the Bangladesh news and was delighted that
this tyrant's reputation is not obscured by hyperbole.

I lived in Zimbabwe many years ago [I am Australian on my way to your country to assist in English teaching] and I had personal experience of Mugabe.

Mugabe was a freedom fighter with a difference. He earned his reputation among his troops by enjoying torture. Mugabe's favourite weapon was the humble pair of pliers. With these he would remove the lips of his victims and leave them to their fate.

One of my fellow workers, a female, obviously did not please Mugabe and he set upon her with his pliers and removed her lips. I found her in her home after she was missing for a few days. She told me what Comrade Mugabe did.

I am a socialist with very little liking for colonialism. What Mugabe did to his fellow Africans was sheer evil.

Maybe we might pass each other in the street one day in Dhaka?

Wesley Employment Casino: HYPOCRITICAL

Wesley Employment

Walker Street

CASINO 2470

Attention:

Julie Rowling

Alison Kaihau

There are certain anomalies extant within your work environment that impact upon your clients. These anomalies seem to be at variance with the stated aim of the JNM

System set up by the Howard government over a decade ago. They also lie, unfortunately, at the heart of perceptions of JNMs by the Australian public.

Your Mission statement implies welfare and employment. Many times these social aspects lie in contradistinction and you at Mission Employment Casino exemplify this.

My wife is your client. She is a licensed real estate agent with qualifications in property valuation and agency. She is studying for her Stock and Station Agent’s license that will allow her to actively market rural properties. At the moment she can only deal with properties 20 acres and under. You know this at Wesley Casino. You know we live 60km from Casino at Tabulam.

Yet you marketed her to a retailer of mobile phones, a technology that my wife had never even held in her hand. She had never touched a mobile phone previously. The employer wanted suitable applicants, but, as Centrelink subsequently stated, my wife had neither sales nor the technological expertise to fulfil the employer’s requirements.

The subsequent events are interesting in that they display the above-mentioned anomalies. I decided that my son, who worked at WOW telecommunications and was actively seeking employment in our area, was fit for this job. So I told him and gave him the details of the One Zero employer.

My wife and son attended interviews with One Zero and ultimately my son got the job. Consequently Wesley Employment sharply remonstrated with my wife as if she were a child rather than a 52 years old mother of five. You were concerned that you had lost the commission/remuneration for successful emplacement of job seekers with employers. You upbraided my wife for passing the One Zero information to our son. She told you that it was I who gave away the information, akin to some tawdry spy novel, so to speak.

Without extending the details, it is necessary to remind you that you advised my wife that she would be breached but that it took three breaches to affect her job search allowance. However, we discovered that her payment had been stopped. It was necessary to call Centrelink to have the matter dealt with. As it was a long weekend we were without income for five days. When my wife called Centrelink she was informed:

1. She should not have been designated the One Zero job for application due to not being sufficiently qualified for the position

2. She did not deserve to be breached and that Wesley had acted without basis.

Without a shred of apology Wesley again upbraided my wife, this time for bringing Wesley into disrepute with Centrelink! The attitude springing from the wells of Wesley said it all; only the client could be wrong, not the JNM.

It may be remembered that a similar occurrence involved me and Wesley. Wesley listed a job for Casino Centre and I applied. I had no JSN so Wesley did not proffer my application as there was no reward in it for them should my application be successful. However, in the true spirit of the Job Network, Wesley provided the avenue along which I was to individually apply for the job.

This is in stark contrast to the kerfuffle Wesley produced in the One Zero affair.

The other aspect that causes us concern is the matter of the program for job preparation which you designated my wife to attend from next Monday [7/7/08]. Unbeknown to my wife she accepted the invitation [Wesley ‘nominated’ my wife for the course] to attend. However, I had arranged an appointment with a hernia surgeon in Brisbane for next week and I needed the car.

My wife explained this to Wesley and you know how you reacted; with extreme scepticism! You nailed my wife to a badge of dishonesty. You demanded that she produce my doctor’s certificate to prove that she was not lying.

This is the greatest insult you could have bestowed upon my wife. Without reference to the humiliating manner of your approach to my wife in the time she has been your client, I view this latest episode with contempt for Wesley Employment.

Let us go beyond the incident into the rationale you had produced to legitimise your behaviour; when you explained to my wife the reason for her needing to attend the course next week you told her she lacked confidence and that the course was designed to enable her to seek work with confidence. Remember you are talking to a 52-year-old mother of five! You portrayed my wife as something less than what she is in order to coerce her into attending your course.

On the other hand you conducted her interview for a position as a consultant with Wesley Casino, told her beforehand that the interview would last 30 minutes, and elongated the interview to one hour. You actually congratulated her for attaining the interview [her application had been her unaided work]. Furthermore, you phoned my wife to let her know she had been unsuccessful, although she had conducted a very good interview and had made Wesley’s job difficult in deciding the result.

This is known in parlance as anomalous behaviour.

You pressured my wife with the admonition that ‘your husband should understand that you have obligations to Wesley and that his income is dependent on your maintaining your obligations to Wesley’. You were implying/stating that you would breach again if your will were not to be fulfilled. It had become a contest, a desperate effort on Wesley’s part to compel my wife into submission. Wesley had lost sight of the fact that its own existence was to serve the disadvantaged; its raison d’etre had become its sole objective, to maintain its own existence.

For want of some Wesleyan imperative, you demanded that my wife produce my doctor’s certificate. This, you may know, is an illegitimate action in that you have no authority to demand from a third person with whom you have no contract or obligatory relationship.

For your record, I had a hernia operation exactly a year ago. It was not successful. I need a repair operation and the hernia centre in Sunnybank [Brisbane] is where I shall be repaired. My wife has been attending my extreme discomfort for a year and I have been heavily reliant upon her for pain relief. It has not been easy on her.

Also for the record: I was a JNM manager and I set up my branch in Inverell some years ago with what was considered to be energy, humour and an empathetic display of concern for the disadvantaged. My wife also worked as a consultant with a JNM and we are therefore equipped somewhat to an understanding of how you at Wesley operate.

If you want some document from me then you will have to approach me rather than to use your office and the threat of breach to coerce my wife into submitting the document.

If you paid heed to research on JNMs you may just realise the extent to which you contribute to social anxiety and depression. You skate on a thin edge of propriety at Wesley Casino, as do so many other JNMs.

WESLEY EMPLOYMENT CASINO:THIN EDGE OF PROPRIETY

Hi Janelle Saffin

I have reviewed today's news and the Rudd-slide [my term] in opinion polls. This is to be expected as you install repairs to Oz in the wake of Howard's disastrous years.

I had written to you while you were campaigning and your office responded with such comradery. I was impressed and with hope that at least my small section of relevance may at some stage receive some attention.

But I realise I am not the only punter in your corner. However, I would fail in my care for my wife and family were I to not contact you again on this same matter: Job Network Members.

I have attached my letter to the manager of Wesley Uniting Casino. Together with my previous attachment to you [on JNMs] you may gather enough to see where we unemployed face the cold grunt of failure.

I am now almost 64 years of age and I am still applying for over 20 jobs per week. I don't see why we should continue to cop crap from ignorant mercenaries within the JNM.

Wesley Employment Casino: SHAME!!!!!!!!

Hi Janelle Saffin MP

Further to my earlier email to you re JNMs ... my wife, about whom my letter to Wesley Employment, Casino, was focused, has been diagnosed with

heart valve problems, and severe depression due to unreasonable pressure and dominance from Wesley Employment, Casino.

My wife, Caron, has received a two month medical certificate to this effect. She is due to further medical heart specialist consultation in Lismore later in the year.

I have just been enlightened as to the personal treatment administered to my wife by Wesley Employment, Casino. I knew she was having professional hassles with them but the personal

behaviour of their management and senior staff has shocked me.

A client walks along a narrow corridor to Wesley's enclave and enters a form of psychological submission as entry to the offices is made. This seems to affect some of the staff at Wesley for

it is hard to imagine such behaviour in a normal environment. My wife was literally stood over during a discussion with a senior consultant and had a finger waved in her face. My wife is nearly 53 years of age

and a professional in property.

These people have no idea of the effect they have upon the disadvantaged. Their Mission Statement is flouted as they pursue the commercial rather than the social aspects of joining job-seekers with employers.

They use their power to breach as tools of management. This is perhaps the foulest legacy of John Howard and it should not besmirch the good name of Kevin Rudd.

I think it is time to reorganise the ethos of these Job Network Members and, by association and ideology, DEWR itself.

My wife is two months away from finalising completely her real estate and property portfolio; she has been studying full and part time since 1996 and with each new diploma or advanced certificate

she thrusts herself into the market, and gets nowhere. So she gets stuck into a more advanced course and now she is not only a valuer and a licensed real estate agent but also soon to be a stock and station agent. That means that she can now sell

property over 20 acres and being a Tabulam person able to fully facilitate a real estate agency here in Tabulam. But Wesley ... no, they had their own agenda.

Thanks for taking the time to read my letter. If you look on JobSearch website you will see that Wesley Casino rates lowest by far in client satisfaction. And that's a government site! Please don't let this opportunity to slip away. It is an important aspect of our society and one that actually shames our nation.

Cheers

RACIST INDIA

India represents the epitome of hypocrisy in that it insists it is not racist yet racism permeates the very veins of that awkward country. India stood at the forefront of anti-apartheid rhetoric while its own caste system had been the archetype for apartheid and the more contemporary ethnic cleansing.

Mugabe has been a murderer for decades

If China knew the extent of Mugabe's reign of terror it would not hesitate to condemn the Zimbabwean leader. I cannot understand China's attitude on this matter. I understand the notion of non-interference but when political murder is as palpable as that in Zimbabwe delay in prosecuting the end of the terror is as contemptible as the murder itself.
Most of the nations that hold China in great Zun jing have condemned Mugabe. As I mentioned, if China realised how brutal Mugabe and his militia were it would not stand as close to the murderers as it now does.

RL Referee Tony Archer 'Fucking Cheat': Blocker Roach

I agree with Blocker. Any careful observer would not fail to notice the subconscious bias Archer displayed toward Maroons. With so much money involved with betting I would hazard a guess that Archer was crooked. What else could explain his actions. And why is that referees are not to be criticised when we can put garbage on politicians, judges, the Pope, and just about everyone else in society except for bloody RL referees?

Has anyone else noticed how flat against his head Richard's ears have become? A bit like Jimmy Barnes I would consider. Richard's hair has over the years accommodated his rather outstanding ears but lately Richard's hair is shorter than usual, allowing me to consider that surgery has flattened Richard's ears, ala Brendan Nelson, against the head.
I knew one rock star of years back who used chewing gum to keep his ears from sticking out like hand signals. But that was long ago, many years from now.

As a postgraduate student of Aboriginal history and culture, I must say I agree with Gary Johns. I have worked and lived among Blackfellers from these remote communities and there is nothing to commend these awful places for human beings. The people are not revitalising their culture; they merely eke out an existence on the dole. It's not fair on them.

Emperor Rudd as brittle as Ming Porcelain

Kevin Rudd's connection to China has many strands. His Mandarin language skills help to ingratiate himself into Chinese company. But there is a special relationship that is pertinent to today's concerns that Kevin is running a bit too hot. The Chinese Ming Dynasty's Emperor Tai Zu was a bit like Kevin. However, Tai Zu put his PM to death so that Tai Zu could ensure he had total control over the bureaucracy. The Emperor trusted no one and did all the work himself at a furious pace. Cutting this long story short ... after Tai Zu left the imperial scene, the whole caboodle he'd set in place came tumbling down. Eventually all went back to how it was. Tai Zu's efforts did nothing to make the Ming bureaucracy any better than what it was.

Yeah! If the tackler had gone for Luke's legs the forearm would never become involved. I agree with Luke O'Donnell.

Take a good look at old film of Peter Stirling; he;d never attack the head in a tackle.

Rugby League: It just takes brains!

Your comment has been published:
After frustrating week after week of referee mistakes, it is hard to visualise intelligent people continuing to rationalise the game of Rugby League. It is no good band-aiding the game when the referees, week after week, continue to inject their prejudices into their decisions. The rules make it hard for the dull referee to adjudicate because such brain activity requires a modicum of intelligence. We see referees blowing hard whistles every week at the play the ball. We witness the unedifying spectacle of the American-induced video ref screen and the long wait for the TRY or NO TRY decision ... and the mindless reaction of the crowd as TRY is awarded.
It is time to apply some intelligence to our game. If there is a problem in the tackle, then get rid of the problem instead of relying on referees to go beyond their capabilities in logically deciding what to do.
It just takes brains.

Arrest and interrogation in Jiamusi China

From Adrian to you on the 15^th September 2006:

Good morning

I wish to state the following for the records: I may need need consular assistance sometime if there are repercussions.

Yesterday the school's principal, head teacher, a member of Fujian's Public Security Bureau, Zhou Chao, Zhou Ming [the driver] and I travelled to Jiamusi to file documents pertaining to my employment as a teacher of English and to extend my visa while these documents were being processed. We went straight to the Jiamusi PSB for this.

Immediately upon entering the PSB building we were ushered into an office and suddenly the others were swept from the office and I was left alone with these two female members of the PSB. One was a translator and the other the chief of police [from what I could understand].

It was clear to me from the start that I was being 'grilled' for breaking the terms of my tourist visa by teaching at Fujin Bilingual Primary School.

I told them that I had been invited to Fujin by the Fujin government and that I was on a tourist visa due to the fact that I had been asked to travel quickly to Fujin to facilitate the September opening ceremony and to be in place for the students when the school began to operate.

They asked me who asked me to come to China and I told them many times that it was Zhou Chao and the entire Fujin community.

I was then moved from the 'visitors' chair to a chair in front of the police chief. She exited and another plain clothes policeman began to grill me again. I repeated what I had told the previous policewoman and he, too, exited, to be replaced by a nasty type.

This nasty type was nasty. His name is Zhang le and his number is 050150. He had three stars on his shoulder and he did not speak good English. He interrogated me in Chinese for two hours!

I told these two police [Zhang Le and the female translator] exactly what had happened to me since my arrival in China. Zhang Le continued to not understand what I was saying and she kept telling me that Chinese people are friendly. The atmosphere inside that office was horrible. I knew what they were up to and I was not in a position to tell other than the truth. I would never lie, anyway, as I am man of principle and lying is not part of my nature.

Zhang Le kept asking me questions and every time I tried to correct his misinterpretation he shouted at me and told me to be quiet. It was beginning to become serious. He was writing a statement of interview. I produced a record of my email communication with the government-sponsored agency in Beijing that had initially contacted me to ask me to come to Fujin to teach English. This obviously had no effect as neither of these two police had a good understanding of English. They were intent upon some other purpose.

She, the translator [she was uniformed by I could not identify her rank, but she was an older woman] asked me questions such as 'Do you think China is a dirty place?' and 'Why did you come to China?' and 'Do you think Chinese people are friendly?' and 'How old are you?' and 'How many children do you have?' ... the questions went on and on and on, repeating and changing course and I knew the techniques of interrogation. I was, of course, a former army intelligence officer and I knew about these techniques.

But I had nothing to hide. My demeanour was controlled as their grilling became more ludicrous and insulting. I was asked repeatedly for names of Liu Jie, the agency manager in Beijing; Zhou Chao; the principal of the school, etc., and dates. They kept getting the dates wrong and when I tried to correct them, Zhang Le shouted at me and kept me quiet. He continued to write his statement in Chinese. While he was writing, she asked me other questions that were personal.

'What are the ages of your children. How old are you? Why did you come to China. Do you think the Chinese people are friendly? What is the age of your youngest child? Your oldest child? Have you worked in China before?

There were so many questions that it would drain my emotions to write them all here. It would take me hours to repeat the entire interrogation.

Then it was finished. I had to be fingerprinted and have my fingerprints stamped on this record of interview. She had read in bad English her interpretation of the statement and although the facts were, as she said them, incoherent and illogically phrased, I was forced to fingerprint many parts of the statement, on each of the four pages, and to sign each page.

I had no recourse to legal advice; I had no access to the other members of our party, including Fujin's PSB representative [who had been in uniform at the opening of our school two days previous]. I was isolated and detained and not free to do anything of my own free will.

The ultimate indignity came when, after having signed the statement, I asked to relieve myself at the WC. They ignored me. I have a weak bladder and a nervous disposition when it comes to urination. I can never urinate in public. This has been a medical/psychological condition since I was a young man. In forty seven years I had never been able to urinate in public or in view of another person.

Finally after many protests from me I was taken under custody to the WC along the passage. It is a poor toilet in terms of hygiene. The woman's section was next to the man's an I was about to enter the woman's toilet when Zhang Le shouted at me to use the other. These two toilets occupied the same room. So I entered the men's toilet and tried to close the door to give myself privacy. Zhang Le came inside with me. I protested by waving my arms at him to leave. He ignored my request and instead indicated that he would turn his back. This was no good. I could not pee in his presence.

The toilet space was disgusting. Above my head was a sheet of plastic, like a shower curtain, suspended just above my head by a piece of wood. There was a leak from the toilet on the next floor [it was obviously the toilet area of each floor of the building] and this sheet of plastic was there to catch the leaks. It had been there quite a long time as it too leaked on anyone standing under it.

The floor of this toilet was being splashed from above and I was 'rained upon' from above.

So we returned to the same office and the interrogation process began again. I was then not in the mood to go along with them. I continued to protest, not about the interview, but about Zhang l
Le's toilet behaviour. I told them I had a shy disposition, that I needed to urinate, and hat I could not urinate in front of Zhang Le. I told them both that I was not a criminal and I needed to urinate in private.

She kept telling me that Zhang Le was not preventing me from urinating; that he went with me because I did not know the way. He went with me for my own protection. This was palpably a lie for I repeatedly told her that he stood inside the toilet with me and would not leave. She began to laugh at me. Other police entered the office from time to time and one woman police officer also began to laugh at me.

Every time I protested against this unseemly behaviour by the police, Zhang Le moved toward me in a threatening manner. When I stood up to show that I wanted to urinate, he shouted at me to sit. He waved his hands at me and his face was obviously in a dark mood and in English he told me 'stop!'. He knew a few words of English but his comprehension was very poor.

After two hours Zhou Chao entered office. He also had been interrogated by the police officer in plain clothes who first interrogated me. I told Zhou Chao about the toilet incident and to his great credit turned to Zhang Le and said hard words in Chinese to him.

Apparently while I was being interrogated, Zhou Chao had phoned the Mayor of Fujin about our predicament. The Mayor in turn phoned Fujin's head of the Public Security Bureau who, coincidentally was in Jiamusi at the time. The Fujin PSB head immediately came to this building and after some time Zhou Chao was released and he in turn came into the office where I was being interrogated and told me that my visa was being extended. The interrogation was over.

But I had not finished with Zhang Le. I told him that he had been wrong to deny me my toilet privacy and that the female police were rude and wrong in laughing at my medical condition. The female translator kept telling me that she was only doing her job and she had to do as her leader told her. She said this five times. It was now very apparent to everyone there that this whole unsavoury business had been carried too far; that I was a guest of the Fujin government and that Zhang Le had abused his authority.

I was photographed fo my visa extension, and offered no apology from anyone except Zhou Chao. He shouldered the blame.

I had been interrogated for two hours and detained against my will. I had been denied fundamental freedom to urinate privately.

The after we were released and out on the street again, we learned that the Fujin PSB head had told the PSB Fujin representative [who had accompanied us from Fujin to Jiamusi], to join him in a meeting there at Jiamusi for the following two or three hours. As we had brought her to Jiamusi, we obviously could not leave without her. But I would not sty in Jiamusi longer than was necessary and I said that I needed to return to Fujin because of my worsening medical and psychological condition. I could not eat with my nerves entangled as they were.

During the interrogation, the female translator repeatedly told me not to worry. She also repeated told me I had broken Chinese law. She repeated these two contradictory statements for two hours. Although I had never behaved in a subservient mood, nor had I challenged their authority to question me, I had become severely traumatised.

I had been told that I could not teach English while in China on a tourist visa. Yet I had been asking for my Z visa since my arrival, I had told the agency manager, Liu Jie, that I always came to China on a Z visa but she had told me that she was a government-sanctioned agent and that the government of Fujin had authorised my being there as a teacher and that the Z visa would be no trouble.

So what do I do now? On the one hand I have been asked to continue teaching and on the other I have the dreadful experience of that interrogation and the multiple warnings by the PSB not to teach.

My wife does not know about this yet; she has just purchased her ticket to China and is waiting her own tourist visa to travel to China.
I know that this experience will deter her from coming. I would not want her to go through what I have endured yesterday.

If this were any other country of the world that I know, I would now have recourse to justice and have Zhang Le severely punished for his actions and the PSB of Jiamusi would be under official scrutiny.

The essence of Ipatas' term as leader of Enga is characterised mainly by the fact that Engans, by and large, have voted him back into office again and again. Does this not illustrate the nature and character of Engans? If you criticise Ipatas you, by extension, criticise Engans for they are responsible for putting a criminal into office.

Date Posted: Sun, May 04 2008, 09:39:12pm Mr. Monike, Please get to understand that, all his wins were through the back. Majority of the Engans know this and have never spoken out. They have been blind folded with Ipatas' heavy cash handouts. You must be one of the few lured by Ipatas' cash handouts. Bro, open your mind and just look at the state of Wabag Town rather than other infrastructures. Yet he wanted to be a PM, Im wonder what type of vision he has for PNG if he can't do it at a smaller scale. Read and understand the facts outlined by Robert P.svd.

If millions of kinas have been used and ballot papers being hijacked, and destroyed, I refuse to call it a "vote". My paper does not criticize all Engans per se, but indeed it criticize the selected few Engans who are affiliated to the club that promotes partiality. This is a negligence of civic rights people have. If that is what peoples what, then let it be, but this may not go unheard. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Date Posted: Mon, May 05 2008, 07:02:21am OK Mr Laka, if that is so then why has not the Engan population ever complained to the electoral commission or to the police? It is because Ipatas symbolises the collapse of papua New Guinea. The Engan Governor is a joke. How can a criminal govern with the express compliance of the Engan population, the police, judiciary and even your church? Because Enga, as well as PNG, has collapsed into a rotting pile of corrupted garbage. The nation of Papua New Guinea is as big a joke as is Ipatas and you know it, Mr Laka. All your kinky religious words do not obfuscate the reality of Ipatas the criminal and Enga the criminal province.
