The government of Papua New Guinea made amendments to the current Environment Act on 27 May 2010. The people need to put immediate pressure on the Speaker of Parliament not to certify this amendment. If we don’t the end result will be:
1. The government has taken away landowners traditional rights over their land.
2. The government has taken away landowners legal rights over their land.
3. The government has said to Chinese and Exxon Mobil come to Papua New Guinea (PNG), do what BP has done in the Gulf of Mexico, and we will protect you from any legal liability whatsoever.
4. It is unconstitutional, undemocratic, an abuse of human rights and it is all because the Chinese and the Americans have captured the government and Somare and his Ministers are behaving like puppets.
5. It will apply to all new projects anywhere in PNG.
The people of PNG must ACT NOW! and tell the government NO! This is NOT acceptable.
