Former PM suggests a way out of PNG crisis
Sir Julius Chan
A former PNG prime minister says both the men claiming the job should let parliament make the final decision.
New Ireland governor and MP Sir Julius Chan says one solution to the impasse would be for Sir Michael Somare to be reinstated as an MP, and for him to come to Parliament, resign, and let the House decide if he of Peter O'Neill should be prime minister.
He says if the crisis isn't resolved, it's possible there could be violence.
Sir Julius insists he is not so much backing Peter O'Neill as he is trying to support the supremacy of Parliament.
