Will political chicanery win for the Copper bosses. Recent message from PNG:

PNGNews reports "The reclusive Me'ekamui leader Francis Ona has said that the re-opening of the Panguna Mine on Bougainville will be a no, no and the decision will have to come from the people and the landowners. Mr Ona said that if there was no money to run the Autonomous Bougainville Government, he wants the newly elected government closed down and let him run Bougainville. Mr Ona said the government must find other means of earning money for the province and it must not try to use the Panguna mine to get loans from the World Bank."

I bet there are funds already piling up in Politicians' Swiss Bank accounts
