USA, Australia Militarizing PNG: Softly swallowing sovereignty, rendering a vassal state

19 Apr 2023

6 | P a g e Lying embedded in these constitutional directives and goal is the energy and spirit of Papua New Guinea in which the Constituent House of Assembly had covenanted and given the nation, the constitution and ‘ourselves’ to God, in the country’s belief, the Creator Being. [...] The issues of command and control, of non-discriminate inter-operatibiity and training of naval offices, the parking of Australia’s hypersonic military transport assets and munitions are not particularly transparent and clear for the national and provincial government and the people of this nation on count of sovereignty and national interest and foreign policy. [...] PNG diplomats and military strategists and policy planners failed to put both the ANZUS trio to the challenge of simply revisiting the ANZUS Treaty, only this time and given PNG’s sovereignty and constitutional independence, including for purposes of equity and reduction of a daring trust deficit, particularly between PNG and Australia, that the best option would be for a quadrilateral defense/sec. [...] To sign without sanction of the PNG Parliamentary Committee on Defense and Foreign Affairs, and following a report to Parliament of their implications to national security, foreign policy and the constitution, at the same time without cognizance of the Bougainville independence agenda would be pre-emptive act contrary to and disrespectful of national interest. [...] China, Russia and the BRICs and the ferocious entry of the House of Sauds will take centre stage – PNG’s One China will survive the AUKUS intermission – if the current global US hegemonic status is being eroded of its dollar pride as the trading currency of the world.
