Clinton Foundation Health Initiative advertises for PNG country manager - Australia provides 20% of PNG health funds
Wednesday, 09 October 2019
Australia is the Government of Papua New Guinea's (GoPNG) major external funder.
DFAT's 2018/19 PNG Aid Performance Report under the heading HEALTH tells us:
Australia is the major donor to the (health) sector, providing around $100 million in 2018-19, which is equivalent to about 20 per cent of the Government of Papua New Guinea’s health expenditure.
It appears that Australian taxpayer funds may still be flowing to the Clinton Foundation, which continues to operate in the health sector in PNG.

Indonesian call for Islamic Jihadis to register to fight in Jihad against locals of West Papua
Tuesday, 08 October 2019
My translation of the first few lines of the banner:
Allah uh-Akhbar!!!
The call of Jihad for Muslims in the whole of Indonesia
Registrations are open across the whole of Indonesia.........
More from Radio NZ
Front Jihad Islam, or FJI, issued a call to arms in the Indonesia-ruled Papuan provinces after non-Papuan settlers were among the victims of recent violence there.
Unrest has surged in Papua region since August, including a day of rioting and violence in the Highlands city of Wamena two weeks ago when about 30 people were killed.
The unrest came off the back of widespread public demonstrations by West Papuans protesting against racism and calling for a referendum on independence from Indonesia.
According to Indonesia's government, more than 11,500 people have been evacuated from Wamena since then due to safety fears. That many of these people are settlers from other parts of Indonesia has caused concern and prompted action back in Java.
FJI has been busy spreading its message online, replete with videoed torching of the Papuan Morning Star Flag and banners calling for Jihadis to be recruited for fighting in Papua against Papuans.
Help Professor Peter Van Onselen in his dogged, stoic but happy pursuit of shame
Tuesday, 08 October 2019
Someone close to the good professor told me that he was very hurt by Prime Minister Scott Morrison and others taking the P15S out of him at the mid-winter ball.
I'm told that Professor van Smirk didn't like us promoting his "happy to have this replayed time and time again to my shame" recording.
So it was no real surprise to find that sensitive metro-man's feelings have been so hurt that he's done this.
That being the case - there's nothing left to do but this!
Miserable old ghost Chairman Mal sticks the boot into the Liberal Party - again
Tuesday, 08 October 2019
It's like clockwork.
After Tony Abbott's pro-Liberal Party interview featured in yesterday's media - Turnbull was always going to be unstoppable in his quest for negative coverage.
So here it is in all its miserable, ghostly glory.
Malcolm Turnbull has criticised the Liberal Party for failing to address climate change and develop “a coherent national energy policy”, which has led to Australians paying higher power bills and increasing carbon emissions.
“The Liberal Party has just proved itself incapable of dealing with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in any sort of systematic way,” Mr Turnbull told The Australian.
“The consequence … is without question that we are paying higher prices for electricity and having higher emissions.”
In his first major interview since the May election, Mr Turnbull, 64, would not be drawn on losing the Liberal leadership — which will be addressed in a forthcoming memoir — but said he would have welcomed his deputy, Julie Bishop, succeeding him as prime minister.
ENDS
When will the Liberal Party expel him?
“Yes, I certainly would have welcomed that … she certainly had the capacity to lead the party,” he said. “She is eloquent, she is persuasive, she is incredibly hard-working and I could not have asked for a more loyal or capable deputy.”
Mr Turnbull said the Liberal Party had been influenced by a group that is denialist and reactionary on climate change, and insisted that a true conservative would support reducing carbon emissions.
“Conservatives are practical,” he said. “There is nothing conservative, for example, (in) denying the science of climate change. That’s not a conservative position. That is just, well, that is just denying reality. You might as well deny gravity.
