PLAYING MEDIA GAMES ON FALCON AIRCRAFT

In the Post Courier 19 January 2012, there is a short letter to the editor on the Belden Namah dispute with Indonesia.

If Belden Namah is now claiming the $250 million is false, why did he wait a full month before raising this with the Indonesians. We are not fools. Indonesians must know what they are doing.

It may be that someone is playing games and it may well not be Belden Namah. He is the bunny in what may be an attempt to embarrass the Papua New Guinea Government.

Who first raised the issue? If it took a month, it may have been raised by who ever set up the misinformation in the first place.  It was a new bright idea to take the best advantage of the situation.

It seemed that the core issue was the Indonesian response to expired transit papers of the aircraft.

Was the issue of money first raised by the Indonesians? Surely it would have been done through confidential diplomatic channels.

Or did the troublemakers first raise the matter with the media? Was it the Somare camp or the Australian gays, lesbians and paedophiles? Please click:

DID AUSAID ATTACK PAPUA NEW GUINEA AND INDONESIA?

We will never know. Has there ever been a statement from the Indonesian side on the alleged laundering of money? Or did that only appear in the Papua New Guinea media? This may be what is called a media beat-up.
