Unlike the left wing sfot ccoks in this country, these people don't mess around, I was in Png in the late 90's looking at a small gold Mining venture outside Kompian in the Engan province. On being picked up at Mt Hagen in a troop carrier with black steel mesh on all glass windows and with 2 Png police with 12 gauge sawn off shotguns. We set off west to Wabag before heading north to Kompian. We got to Wabag on dark and I asked the guy representing the local landholders of the area where the gold deposit was (who was Julius Chans brother in law) if there was any concerns travelling after dark about the roaming criminals that are referred to as "rascals" He proudly told me they were not an issue as a few years earlier 2 rascals had held up a troop carrier full of "Engans" who are the local tribe from the Kompian province, the Engans over powered them and chopped their heads arms and legs off and dropped them off at the local constabulary, one road in, one road out, have not had a problem since. You don't mess with these people and I can assure you, early indications point to an absolute disaster coming out of this, Rudd will be calling an election on Monday in the shortest time he can go, they have opened a hornets nest and he will know it, another disaster for Rudd and labor here, Alh.
