Haiveta wants new government

PAPUA New Guinea’s opposition leader Chris Haiveta said the time was right for a change in government, and he has hinted at a possible vote of no-confidence in the gov ernment.

He told members of the Marobe Provincial As sembly the opposition was

working tirelessly to “op

pose, expose and depose”

the current government.

Haiveta said the opposition had a duty to give Papua New Guinea a good government and he “believed the time is right to do just that”. He said the

opposition had alternative policies to protect the rights of Papua New Guineans to ownership of land, property and re sources and to put these to gainful economic use to give maximum benefit to owners.

He said the opposition had policies on decentra lisation, resolving the Bougainville crisis, man

aging the economy and turning it around and from the current budget deficit, high-consumption ex penditure to real growth and efficient delivery of goods and services. □
