"GOVERNOR MUST STEP DOWN" SAYS MBP ELITES

The Milne Bay Community in Port Moresby with its peace-loving citizens are demanding in unison the removal of Milne Bay governor John Luke Crittin. “In our province, our Governor has not been physically involved in the affairs of Milne Bay Province.” “We are calling for him (governor) to step down.” “We are concerned for the welfare of our people and we need an active governor to take on that role.” President of Milne Bay Friends Foundation, Mr Allan Baniyamai told a media gathering this week, that their call for Governor Crittin to step down has no political intent, but a good and fair call for the people of Milne Bay in light of the on-going crisis in the province. The Milne Bay Community Association and senior Milne Bay citizens joined the gathering to air their concerns on the lack of leadership and heightened criminal activities gripping the province recently which led to the burning down of the Police barracks and looting of shops. Mr Baniyamai expressed concerns on the welfare of the displaced families that were affected by the evictions of the settlements. [caption id="attachment_8950" align="alignnone" width="423"] Kiriwina-Goodenough MP Douglas Tomuriesa[/caption] He said that people living in the settlements have children is school and this is affecting them the most. He believes that the absence of the governor has led to lack of leadership which means issues in the province haven’t been attended to. "The province needs a leader to step forward and deal with the issues on ground in the province," said Baniyamai. “The provisions of the Organic Law on Provincial and Local Level Governments is the law that establishes the office the governor and that law also sets the qualifications of whoever intending to be there. That provision is section 17.” “Section 23 says that the governor is the chairman of the Provincial Executive Council, so he plays a pivotal role in the governance of the province.” [caption id="attachment_8951" align="alignnone" width="437"] Chairman of the Milne Bay Friends Foundation Law and Order committee, Mr Robert Igara[/caption] He said that the provisions were set out as the intention of parliament that a person must be fit as in mentally and physically fit to take on the role of Governor. He added that they are working with their lawyers on the next step if the governor does not want to voluntarily step down. Meanwhile the Chairman of the Milne Bay Friends Foundation Law and Order committee, Mr Robert Igara met with Community leaders, SME Owners, Church Leaders and public administration officials on charting a way forward. He said that the people in Alotau are now facing serious consequences of law and order issues in the province.

SINGLE MUM'S BUSINESS STRIVING THROUGH CHALLENGES

MTM Beauty & Style, is a clothing business brand that started from scratch back in 2019 by a determined couple Manu and her now late partner Timothy, who decided then to monetize their combined creative talent and venture into their own small business. MTM is owned by 20 year old Manu Rai, a self-taught seamstress and her late partner and co-owner Timothy Regione, a talented sketch artist who both combined their skills which began the start of what was to be a hopeful dream for their little family, until the untimely and sudden passing of her partner Timothy last year, 2020. Manu is from Egala'auna village in Aroma, Central Province and is now a single parent, and mum to little Mathew who just turned two yesterday, after she lost her partner late Timothy through a tragic and sudden short illness. MTM abbreviates Manu, Timothy and Matthew, and is a clothing brand business that creates and sells bags, purses, kaftans, custom made dresses, meri blouses, jewelry accessories and many more items and are located at Five Mile here in Port Moresby. Despite the loss, Manu soldiered on and being motivated by her child Matthew and family and backed up by the support from Late Timothy's family and close friends, she has come a long way. What started as a handful of purses and bags sold via social network has expanded to a proper home based studio, which serves as her printing, sewing and display space. “I started helping my mother sew buttons onto shirts at the very beginning but was never serious about sewing”, said Manu. Manu said when she was expecting her first son, she was given a mobile phone by her in-laws which she used to watch videos on YouTube on how to sew simple garments. “I tried creating a kaftan pattern with some materials that I had and with a portable sewing machine which was purchased by my late husband, I was able to sew my first piece”, proudly said Manu. Upon seeing Manu’s abilities and what she could create just by sewing, her in-laws bought her a sewing machine and that was when she became serious in sewing. Manu’s late husband Timothy was a talented sketch artist already drawing, creating and designing work of his own so they both decided to combine their talents and started with printing superhero shirts to sew for their family members to help buy things for their child Matthew. “We had no idea it would become something big and I wish my husband was here to see it all.” Initially starting with purses, small bags, the standard meri blouse and handmade accessories, MTM now produces tailor made garments, custom design printed T-shirts and kid’s apparel as well as accessories. “I also have three other seamstresses and one of them which I had for a while is my niece Annie and the other two were hired recently”, added Manu. Like many other small businesses, MTM has had their fair share of challenges but are still facing these challenges to continue to grow and improve. “One of the biggest challenges I had to face was the loss of my partner and husband last year and also like everyone else around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic which is really affecting us all.” “However, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, we are surprisingly growing slowly but steadily and we are focusing on selling and marketing our products via our social networks”, she added. Manu concluded that they have managed to find ways to stay creative in order to generate sales and leads. “Admittedly, it has been somewhat difficult but with the help from my family and friends the business is still progressing”, ended Manu.

ROADS OF HOPE

Thousands of people in the hinterlands of Zunzaing and Masa bordering Finschafen and Sialum in Tewai-Siassi District will now be connected by road. The 4-kilometere road has connected Zunzaing to Masa and will connect across the Masaweng River into Finschafen and then to Lae. Tewai-Siassi MP Kobby Bomareo inspected the roadworks over the weekend and met with locals in the impacted communities. "This road will continue as long as I am pushing for funding from the National Government to the Department of Works," says Dr. Kobby when speaking to locals at Rua village. The local MP drove all the way to Kanome station in Sialum where he inspected a newly built market facility, police houses and a proposed shelter for seafarers at Kanjarua jetty. Dr. Kobby overnight at Sialum station and travelled by boat to Wasu where he inspected the Belombibi-Karangan, Hongo-Wawet and Wasu-Kikiong to Bumbu-Ipang road. "Slowly but surely we are connecting remote and isolated communities to the LLG headquarters where they can access better government services," says Dr. Kobby. The new roads are opening up massive potentials in agricultural crops production in organic cocoa and coffee. This is part of the Marape-Basil government's connect PNG road program under the NDoW.

EVIL DAD JOHN EDWARDS HAD A POST-IT NOTE ON DESK SAYING ‘JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED’

The contents of a sinister note found on John Edwards’ desk after he killed his children can be revealed for the first time and exposes a wider issue. Metres from where John Edwards killed himself after murdering his two children, police found a post-it note on the desk in his study. Written on it was “Justice delayed is justice denied.” Also on the desk were family law documents, with more discovered in folders in the same room. Court orders were stuffed in the driver’s door pocket of the retired financial planner’s golden Nissan Patrol 4WD. Details about the chilling note and documents can be revealed for the first time and further highlight the serious risks to women and children in the family law system. At the West Pennant Hills house where Jack and Jennifer lived with mother Olga, and where Edwards shot them dead, family law documents were found in a green suitcase in the lounge room. They were in piles, plastic sleeves, folders. They were on Jennifer’s school file. [caption id="attachment_8918" align="aligncenter" width="909"] John Edwards murdered his own children before killing himself. His wife, Olga, took her own life several months later. Picture: 60 MinutesSource:Channel 9[/caption] The proceedings were at the forefront of Olga’s mind when a neighbour approached outside her house, shortly after she learned on the evening of July 5, 2018, that her children had been killed. “I said, are you OK? What’s going on?” the neighbour told police. “She said, ‘My ex has come and killed my children. He has killed my children. Our court settlement day is in two weeks. This is so fucked up.’” State coroner Teresa O’Sullivan said in April as she handed down her findings into the deaths of Jack, 15, and Jennifer, 13, that it was “impossible” to understand what happened in the Edwards family without understanding the family law proceedings that dominated their final years. [caption id="attachment_8919" align="aligncenter" width="856"] John Edwards had a post-it note saying: ‘Justice delayed is justice denied’ Picture: 60 MinutesSource:Channel 9[/caption] The court case offered context to pivotal moments, Magistrate O’Sullivan said, such as Olga reporting to police that Edwards had physically abused the children a week after those same allegations had been treated dismissively in court. Officers misrecorded her complaint and took no further action. Hayley Foster, the CEO of Women’s Safety NSW, told NCA NewsWire the Edwards case “shows all of the massive failings in the system”. [caption id="attachment_8920" align="aligncenter" width="969"] The coroner said it was ‘impossible’ to understand what happened in the Edwards family without understanding the family law proceedings. Picture: 60 MinutesSource:Channel 9[/caption] “But they are not one off incidents,” she said. “They are not rare occasions. The sort of failings we saw in this case are failings we see every day.” Ms Foster said significant moments in family law proceedings are, like the time of separation, a dangerous time in which the risk of violence is heightened. She said much of the behaviour displayed by Edwards after the separation, including the note on his desk and a reference to “my abducted children” in an email, was typical of perpetrators who end up in the family court system. “Most people using violence and abuse in relationships actually identify as the victim, as the aggrieved,” Ms Foster said. Usually there is a strict prohibition on the reporting of family law proceedings to protect people’s privacy. But in the unique and tragic circumstances of Jack and Jennifer’s homicides and Edwards and Olga’s suicides, this was significantly lifted at the inquest. When Olga filed the proceedings in April 2016, she attached an affidavit saying the kids did not want to see John and disclosed numerous instances of violence, including him hitting Jack under the eye with a book and pinning him up against a wall in Paris. She wrote that she feared “one day I would come home and find my child dead”. A family consultant report in the case, dated September 2016, said “While the children may have some valid reasons for being upset with their father, their complete rejection of a relationship with him seems extreme and could lead to emotional difficulties in later life if they are not provided the opportunity to attempt to repair the relationship”. It also noted the children’s views may be tied to Olga’s feelings. [caption id="attachment_8921" align="aligncenter" width="943"] Olga reported John Edwards to police. Picture: 60 MinutesSource:Channel 9[/caption] In December 2016 the children were ordered to spend three hours with their father every Saturday following a court hearing at which Magistrate O’Sullivan found independent children’s lawyer Debbie Morton misled the court by underplaying Edwards’s history of violence as “heavy-handed parenting”. In May 2017, Ms Morton wrote to Olga’s lawyer that if she continued to be “uncooperative” in getting the kids to therapy with their father, she would be left with “no other alternative” but to recommend Jack and Jennifer be placed in Edwards’ care. [caption id="attachment_8922" align="alignnone" width="957"] Olga and John Edwards.Source:News Regional Media[/caption] At a hearing in June 2017, Judge Geoffrey Monahan expressed frustration the Saturday hours were not being adhered to. He said he had not seen anything to suggest Jack and Jennifer, then 14 and 12, should not see John other than they “don’t want to go” and said of Olga: “I think mum can try a bit harder, frankly”. Ms Foster said the family law system prioritises contact over risk. “If the person using violence or abuse is getting messages somewhere in the system that they are aggrieved and they should be able to expect more, that can enliven him. It can make him feel more entitled to continue to pursue his rage,” she said. “If he is starting to get stopped in the system … there can be a backlash effect.” In February 2018, a judge granted sole custody to Olga, noting it was up to the children whether or not they continued to see their father. They did not want to. Around this time, a family friend told police, Edwards “started to become more serene” and “seemed like he was moving on with things”. “He started to talk about things other than Olga, he didn’t seem to need to debrief about what was happening with her,” the friend said in her witness statement. It was also around this time, Magistrate O’Sullivan found, that Edwards decided to kill Jack and Jennifer. The coroner found the deaths were preventable, occurring after a litany of individual, systemic and regulatory failures. She made a number of recommendations to improve information sharing between the family law courts, NSW Police and the gun registry. [caption id="attachment_8923" align="alignnone" width="834"] Jack and Jennifer Edwards did not want to see their abusive father.Source:AAP[/caption] Ms Foster said such changes were a “no-brainer” and called for them to extend to state and territory magistrates as well as specialist domestic violence services working with women on the front lines. She said a new initiative requiring judges to undergo family violence training was positive but lawyers, report writers, and all involved should be specially trained in things like perpetrator behaviour and the impact of violence and abuse.

There are many factors why someone might escalate to homicide or not. “But the reality is many, many, many women currently are unprotected in situations where there is that serious risk. And they can’t at the moment consistently rely upon police and the courts to keep them safe.” SOURCE: News.com.au

The couple and both families couldn’t be happier.” A source added to People that both Grande and Gomez, who is 25, decided to choose Grande’s multimillion-dollar Montecito home as the ideal location, set among the among the trees in the ritzy celebrity neighbourhood where the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle live.

Before that, she dated the late rapper Mac Miller for two years from 2016. He died of an accidental drug overdose four months after their 2018 split. Prior to that, she dated rapper Big Sean for eight months in 2015. SOURCE: News.com.au
