Pauline HANSON: Controversial Aussie MP Questions PNG’s NRL Funding and 2018 Luxury Car Purchases

Australian Senator Pauline Hanson criticizes the Albanese government's decision to allocate $600 million to Papua New Guinea (PNG) for a new National Rugby League (NRL) team. This is in addition to the annual foreign aid and loans provided to PNG. She suggests these funds could be better utilized for health care and rehabilitation services in regional Queensland.
As PNG approaches its 50th Independence anniversary, she calls for a reassessment of Australia-PNG relations. She expresses outrage over the purchase of Maseratis and Bentleys for the APEC Leader Summit. She questions the need for a PNG-based team in the NRL and raises concerns about PNG's governance abilities to tackle corruption.

Australia should just take over PNG again!! PNG cannot take care of itself.

[@Pabiya20]

Too late bro

[@saipien2868]

As a Papua New Guinean, i fully agree with what she is saying.

[@HenryPiamia]

Aussie tax payers are absolutely right. We are all sick and tired of corruption at the top level

[@user-og8yc5iy2b]

She is absolutely right. Papua New Guinea is being a beggar from government to government. Very shameful. Sge is very blunt and truthful

[@JontohMakaweto]

I agee.PNG is an independent state and should live on its feet.

[@ilsenjms6873]

Aussie tax payers are correct. It's a big shame to PNG govt.

[@ikonpatrick5578]

All Papua new guineas don't celebrate 50 years independence. Nothing to be happy about

[@user-yf7to3rp4z]

What a shame when I heard some body from Australia saying, PNG politics stings

[@ROYNelson-zj8sv]

What a shame for PNG

[@paulkomi8493]

The value system of PNG government is defective . Keep that money to manage your own affairs .Vultures are gathering here to feast once this opportunity is successful. PNG NRL can't make PNG a successful nation. Giving PNG a team to compete in NRL as a 50 year anniversary gift by Australia is not an economic development. Your hard earn tax payers money will be put to wrong priorities.

[@SamSups]

Some places in PNG do not have prope education facilities let alone basic medical drugs yet 600 million for entertainment is a sin.

[@francisfritzgeraldbegani2871]

Thanks Mrs you said it correctly. Absolutely right!

[@bibongku6911]

The senator is right in raising concern. Something wrong here in PNG and we must do somting right here. After all why gaining Independence from them. We declare we are strong to manage economy, we are corruption free and more but look, getting overseas aid shows that sovereign PNG is not strong.. it's a disgraceful and shame

[@ReapeJuxOte]

Australians doubtb us because of our corruption

[@user-si4kz7hc4c]

The phrase "THIS GOVERNMENT STINGS" you are 100% correct can't describe any more

[@SiwickGundu]

[@HallandKuluwa]

She is right .. after all, thats their tax payer's money.

[@georgebukoya8266]

Thank you Senator Pauline for highlighting this rather wasteful use of Aussie tax payers money. PNG must allow PNG to GROW UP and deal with its corruption issues. Pauline is correct. Thank you Pauline. I comment as a Papua New Guinean.

[@danielseiweni7384]

Australias care about Meseratis cars bought 200, 000 - 300, 000 a lot of Money. Queen will drive around with NOT for APEC that's what Australians said. They said it was a misuse of Money. Corrupt PNG Government. Therefore, the PNG Government should be aware of this Australian's comments and stand up and do better for this Nation. We cannot keep on depending on Foreign Aid/Australian Aid.

[@user-nj5dm7tb6i]

As a Papuan New Guinean,I would just say wow to my local leaders.😮

[@EdwardMinnis]

What a shame!!

[@CollinahJonah]

Shame on the government! Your corrupted ways are soo exposed. Shame shame!!!

[@Christ1nMi]

The Senator and Aussies have the right to raise concerns over their money. They can lobby and get their govt to stop funding PNG. They are right, its time PNG get it's act together and stand on its own.

[@PaulPaglau]

Powerful lady, had a heart for PNG

[@geeselectronictv1852]

PNG should fund there own team

[@ikonpatrick5578]

Shame. Shame. Games is not a infracture development that bulk of the png population would benefit stop it

[@user-js1lf5sq7f]

This is outrageous.!!! Where the hell does all this money go.?? The people of this country deserve a point by point summary explanation of how this money is being spent in PNG. How embarrassing.!!!

[@michaelpaam765]

This Government sure stinks, we can't listen to our people, so the Aussies are reminding their taxes are being wasted on the corruption that know no boundaries. This is what Allan Bird has been voicing. Our people are hungry and day to day living is a struggle. Thank you for being honest and telling this Government of PNG that enough is enough.🎉🎉

[@KilaVeapi]

I quite agree with you, while corruption is rift in PNG. Rugby league doesn't deserve this funding.

[@DonMartin-dg1yw]

Thanks Pauline, refer back to your records in 1915. Drilling and Rigging oil in the territory of Papua under the Australian legislation.

[@binokaahtson1186]

Australian Government should stop spending so much in Aid donations to PNG. PNG government must learn to respect the people thus abstaining from their corrupt practices.

[@johnlela5854]

Thank you Pauline for your straightforward and out spoken honest truth. Many Papua New Guineans agree with you, and we agree also that Australia should stop handing free financial assistance to PNG. The community's and projects these findings that are intended for never benefits 💯. PNG must learn its mistakes and take responsibility for its actions.

[@mosesletuan9176]

Papua New Gunineans what do you say of this CRITICISMS? Maseratis? Have they all been SOLD LIKE HOT CAKES? This is from an Australian Parliamentarian, an Australian people's representative. People think about the comments made and arguments presented?

[@SepsKepo-oe9uw]

PNG government it's a shame

[@SamDoka]

Senator, that money was given by the government of Australia to PNG to support its bid into the NRL. Australian aids help to strengthen the friendly relationship between PNG and Australia. If you don't want to give to PNG then fine, we have China. We can ask them to help us. And don't complain if the PNG government gives the green light to china to build that multimillion kina military airport in Gulf. Your money and your assistances to PNG is what is strengthening our relationship and is keeping PNG from opening up to China and your PM knows this.

[@villiwapuana8611]

PNG doesn't need team,coz we do not have a development club to feed the proposed team. Also, PNG players lack fitness endurance. PNG has low health indicators and poor management compared to our Pacific islands. Our poor people need quality eccessble health and education services. PM needs to have tears all the time over his people live in a poverty life.❤❤❤. Support you, Pauline.

[@johnanis2131]

To all you henson supporters, please bear in mind that australian companies have been benefiting and reaping from png for over 60 years and even before independence . Most multinationals in all sectors are australians and they have been sending their profits to shareholders in australia and overseas. This PNG NRL bid is only for Geo Political reasons that Australia is persuing do not be fooled. The least Australia should do is invest in the manufacturing sector for job creation in PNG. THAT IS WHAT IS NEEDED. On this note let me thank australia for your budget support over the years but i think it is time now to support direct job creation initiatives . Regards

[@SoH2024]

Blame the ones in charge of our government for selling us.They knew what they were doing.Stop pointing fingers to Australia everytime and stop playing the victim.Its a 2 way thing.I blame our effed up leaders who never had a heart and effing sold this country like a cheap prostitute!!!

[@rjneis]

Noted well , On the fair side it's good that Hanson pointed it out, so this government & future should start thinking and doing things right.

[@terenceborausiki3695]

I agree with her As a Papua New Guinean we need to grow up , 50 years coming & we are still begging

[@michaeldokupdr3203]

FULL SUPPORT PAULINE HANSON... FULL SUPPORT... VERY TRUE COMMENTS... PNG MUST STAND ON ITS OWN FEET AFTER 50 YRS... ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ripakalamovagi]

The Australian people in general could be right as their tax payers' money should be used for their own people who sleeps outside the public places...on the street should be housed. And it is of course their aids monies sent here purposely for the projects are coordinated by their own experts as they always regarded PNG public servants and MPs alike as corrupt... BUT as for the rugby league which PNG is progressing should be given thump up coz other Pacific countries who plays in NRL games were never there to help Australian Soldiers in the second world war...And they are more advance than us because you (Australians) did very little at the first place. And why Australians are not serious about PNG straight after the war in terms of sports development programs. I'd like to commend the former Australian PM, Hon Kevin Rudd and of course the current Australian Prime Minister for their thoughtfulness. The Hon. Pauline Henson should accept the fact that, Australia is not only the answer to what the country like PNG should benefit from. We can look elsewhere for aid just like the Solomon Islanders who were supported by the Chinese government for that matter. As a former rugby league development officer (schoolboys league) and the administrator with the PNGRFL before... my over view of how training given to the PNG coaches and the trainers is just one of thing... Why we are not allowed to attend courses in Australia instead of your own facilitators comes and train a small group of people who are mainly the relatives and the friends of so called leaders. Thank you

[@raysigayong371]

Thanks 🙏 for highlighting our weak Government system

[@tomnou5722]

Foreign interest above Aussie interests? Spot on. Watch Carter Carlson rub it in on the Aussie press 😂

[@westleyhosea8757]

It is a shame.. it is rightfully their taxpayers money... When will PNG stand on its own feet.

[@MrMarimero1234]

Png's timeless and strong bond with Australia is priceless. Pauline Hanson doesn't understand this.

[@Pabiya20]

Your brain is tiny enough that makes you incredibly dumb.

[@lutherpeter2880]

Thank you Pauline. It's time you come out now. Pauline is right.

[@rjneis]

Full support, Paul Hanson

[@user-je6zo4gc1c]

Very shameful for PNG

[@lablink4697]

Good one Pauline Hanson, shame in PNG for neglecting it's domestic vast sensitive problems. How will lack of medicines, youth neglect, unemployment and endemic corruption be addressed when this government is more hell-bent on putting some NRL team in Aussie land. Forget the bloody whole idea and put ten million into buying medicines and build more classrooms with teachers houses etc...

[@user-ju9pw1yx4c]

Yes, Pauline is right! I hope our politicians don't go on their knees begging for assistants. If the monies given are gestures of goodwill based on cultural and political bondages based on common understandings and past political histories between the two countries, I bet Pauline Hansen needs to dig her head deep in her research to get her perspectives right. Peace be upon her.

[@rowlandclarkeabaijah9220]

Ms Hason , thank you for your views , however, I would encourage you to go clean your backyard or shut up . A reminder to Ms. Hanson that Png is a sovereign & an independent country . Png Govt, we have an option to look north if Ms Hanson is speaking for the majority of our neighbours down under

[@SoH2024]

Idiot! She's protecting the interest of her nation and its citizens by telling her government not to spend Aussie taxpayers money to fund a PNG NRL knowing it's gonna go into private accounts of corrupt PNG officials.She's got every right down there to save her nation.You need to shut the hell up if you don't know anything!

[@thunderthor7718]

She is absolutely right, and I know every hard working Papua New Guinean also agree with her statement, it's ridiculous for spending Aussie tax payers money for PNG NRL team.

[@gabrielporolak4824]

I am a Papua New Guinean and I concur with Pauline 1000%. PNG was, is and will continue to be a dependent of Australia despite it being an independent country in the last 50yrs. PNG is a developing country and DOES NOT NEED SPORTS, period. Developed nations such as Australia, US and Europe can afford to enjoy such luxuries as sports or the B-symphony but not developing nations like PNG. We just don't have the time or can not even afford to put our feet up and enjoy sports, while that time and money, could be spent on developing our country to the standards of our international friends in Aussie, US and Europe. There is absolutely NO NEED for a sports Minister in PNG! At 50yrs old we just can't afford to play sports, personal fitness is OK but NOT competitive sports, at least not right now - maybe in the next 50yrs when we are better off, right now we are not! we still have a a long way to go in terms of development and yet here we are playing wannabes in the international arena. I also agree with a lot of comments here, we should just become a state of Australia, that way it would make sense to enter a team into the Australian NRL coz right now entering a team into NRL is like Australia trying to enter a Australian team into PNG NRLC and have the PNG government to fund that exercise. Olo boi, mak blo long2 stap na ol lidas blo umi (na Aussie tu) abrusim mak blo long2, olsem na ol sa tok, long2 lo skel.

[@thomasabe46]

I agree and am a Papua New Guinean. Rugby league has not United the country ; we have many social and development issues . This is just pure political and ha little valuse. Corruption in the country is killing the country. Please cancel this outrageous rugby aid.

[@user-si4kz7hc4c]

Australia should not hand raw cash to PNG, our mandated leaders are sharing among them selves and using a small portion on essential things.

[@Jonah675pom]

Please,,, follow up on the vehicles and see if the private sectors bought them,,,if not,,,please find a way to put the culprits behind bars,,,waste of money,,,

[@aisiburejunior]

That aid money that your country Australia giving is for Papuan region because your PM who made a mistake in 1975 giving the Papuan region to unit with New Guinea to get independence in 1975. Papuan region didn't want to be part of New Guinea they wanted to get independence

[@kenrasmussen4270]

she does bring up a good point.

[@albertbarekaupakaupa5596]

Why begging for money from Australia to fund a rugby team. These monies should be put to good use to improve the deteriorating health, education and other social programs. No MPs can't learn, what's going on PNG citizens, start doing something now or the BS continues..

[@jakemckibben82]

Em now where's the accountability every country is doing it tough especially Australia it's enough thinking that every year you'll continue to beg Australia for loans it should be given in good reasons like assisting Security to toughen up both borders, cracking down on illegal fishing in both waters and the Pacific against Invaders, toughen up Customs on drug trafficking and more, Natural Disasters that's affecting livlihoods those are homeless, those whose property are destroyed, schools facilities, hospitals and the list goes we in a global crisis don't take it for granted just for a lousy sport that gives nothing but entertainment, fights and vice versa. Pauline Hanson good on ya . That's why we need more ladies in Parliament like her. Money that is given isn't wrong but it should be prioritize and used with accountability and audit to where's all that money gone too in the ground we never seen this money gone to work now the marabe government are threating to run to china for aid, sorry turu wanem time Bai u sanap lon 2pla leg blo u yet

[@edwardkennedy8150]

So true,

[@user-me3eg8gx1s]

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH PAULINE HANSON'S CRITICISM . WHY SO MUCH JUST FOR NRL .. THE PNG MINISTER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE APEC WAS THE SAME PERSON WHO IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPORTING EVENT THAT BUILT THIRD OR FORTH CLASS FACILITIES.. ASK YOURSELVES,, WHY ?? RECENTLY NOW THERE IS THIS CONTROVERSY ABOUT UNNECESSARY FUNDING TO PEOPLE THAT NEVER ATTENDED OR PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT EVEN OFFICIALS YET WENT AND TO TOP IT ALL UP HAD HIS DAUGHTER SPEAK?? . DEFINITELY SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT, DRASTIC MEASURES NEEDS TO BE TAKEN.. SEEMS PRIME MINISTERS AND RESPONSIBLE DEPARTMENTS CREATED TO SAFEGUARD THE INTEGRITY OR UPHOLD PROCESSES OF LAW ARE ALL COMPROMISED. LAWS ARE BEING AMMENDED TO SUIT OURSELVES.. MAYBE AUSTRALIA SHOULD PUT UP A STRONGER STANCE .. THIS COUNTRY HAS GONE AND IS GOING TO THE DOGS ..

[@user-bo5rl6mj7j]

PNG will invite China to start a military base here as we are a sovereign nation. PNG will convert to Islam religion if Senator Hanson wants PNG to look to the north. The door is open and the temptation is greater. Leave sports alone as PNG kin to go into NRL bit and talk about development aid. Come with your money to build roads, bridges ,schools and hospitals. PNG wants infrastructure and not cash. Can Australia change the concept of cash hand out to PNG to above mentioned concept.? Given cash it does not work so purchase materials and come with skill labour build good infrastructure for us to avoid corruption.

[@user-uf1hi7cd5t]

I heard that the History says that Papua New Guinea Kansas were instrumental for building Brisbane and Sydney

[@user-uf1hi7cd5t]

Pauline Hanson, Papua New Guinea was very useful in the Development of Australia as LABOURERS because PNG was uncivilized to develop it's Nation and with your kindness we are developing now. Our gold was taken without permission and our oil is still flowing to Australia as I'm texting, they say. PNG IS THE TREASURE ISLAND TO AUSTRALIA AND YOUR TALKING SHARP LIKE A NAGGING WIFE IN THE POLITICAL ARIANA IS VERY EMBARRASSING. YOU HAVE TO BE A TRUE AUSTRALIAN TO UNDERSTAND YOUR SMALL ISLAND NATIONS , NEIGHBORS AND BE A BIG SISTER TO THEM. ONLY THE TRUE AUSTRALIANS KNOWS PNG AND WHO PNG WAS AND IS TO AUSTRALIA. After ALL, Australia and Papua New Guinea are FRIENDS and we will always be. God bless the Prime Minister of Australia and Papua New Guinea. Amen. Otherwise, whatever difference you have with PNG is of Creed and not of a woman's response to a very young small Island Nation.

Australia left the shores of PNG as a colonier in 1975 without any development and that was the truth. PNG built itself. Why cant you be like the Great British who did develop Hong Kong than and gave it back to China. She is of single and narrow minded person not having intellectual understand of regional economic and political treats. Well I think PNG will be better of with China then Australia and let China build its massive Naval Base in Western part of PNG and head the missiles directly at Australia. How would that sound for youPaulin?
