KILL THE WANTOK SYSTEM

For many decades of colonial domination in this country, there has been the view that the people will only advance as a modern nation if the wantok system of the extended family is broken down.

There was no concern expressed that the system of land inheritance would be in chaos, both matrilineal and patrilineal. It would provide a business bonanza for foreign investors and real estate agents.

Had the Germans won World War 1, the highlands would be covered with German cattle stations.

There was also no concern at the kinship system as families drifted away from the clan.

There would be no concern for the aged. Village law would be destroyed. But then the people would embrace British law. Young boys and girls could drift off to be free in the towns.

There was the expectation among expatriates that the colonial rule of Papua New Guinea would last a thousand years.

Expatriate settlers were bitter at betrayal of the Whitlam Government at granting of independence.

There was no recognition of the Foot Report from the United Nations critical of Australia and support to Papua New Guinea towards independence.

Settlers like Masta Mick Leahy died bitter that the black race had taken independence.

Not all settlers were bitter and recognised reality that in the post war period, colonies in the Asia/Pacific demanded independence.

There was peace after 1975 but the next influx of Australians came in response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. For sexual reasons, gays and lesbians wanted the wantok system to be destroyed.

So their AIDS message was secretly focused towards that end. The scape goats were the men who were destroying women and children with violence.

The only way for women and girls to be free was for the wantok system to be destroyed. The gay and lesbian idea was to weaken and destroy families. Women and girls had rights to be free of families.

Then the boys and girls could be independent of their family and clan. The message was on rights but no responsibilities.

To mention responsibilities meant that first responsibility was to clan and family.

Delete family and clan.

But Australian gays and lesbians have failed badly. There is a nation wide support in Papua New Guinea for strengthening families, particularly the churches. Please click:

PASTOR ABHORS HOMOSEXUALITY

DON'T LEGALISE HOMOSEXUALITY

Australian gays and lesbians are afraid to put a message in the media. Only the gay paedophile Head of UNAIDS advised the community in the media that they should not hide behind family and faith.

Any public statement would bring a response from AIDS Holistics and others destroying their view. Better to keep secret and silent.

But in recent weeks, a new onslaught has begun by people who are either committed homosexuals or foolish dupes.

The key media outlet is PNG Attitude that opposes any view against gay and lesbian activism in the Pacific.

The cat was let out of the bag when the gay supporting editor allowed Dame Carol Kidu, former Minister for Community Development to post a report calling on the Government to allow gay and lesbian sex.

Now there is a new strategy. Susan Merrell wrote on PNG Attitude to criticize the Melanesian Way and its relationship to Government and religion. A new buzz word Melanesian Way has popped up. Please click:

HALF SMART VIEW OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA

Then old timer John Fowke wrote on a similar vein stating that the Melanesian Way should die off as it had no place in a developing country.

The nation is being taken back to the old colonial view that the wantok system has to be destroyed. Only the name has been changed.

To their credit some of the old time readers on PNG Attitude have disagreed along with PNG writers. Click please:

MELANESIAN WAY: CLAN AND FAMILY

The wantok system is not limited to PNG. There are strong financially based wantok family systems in China, Turkey, Greece and Italy.

The weak nation is England from where ancestors of many Australians have come.

They are the ones who put their parents into old people's homes and fight among brothers and sisters over inheritance.

They promote the cult of the individual and want PNG young people to do the same.

Australians want to use their money to buy holiday houses at the beach and go on overseas holidays. Men drink in hotels often every night.

Hundreds of thousands go to the football even on week nights.

Young women go to nightclubs to see male strippers and grab their g-strings.

Teenagers go on drunken rages through the inner cities at night.

That is the Australian Way.
