Subject: PNG elections to feature on SBS Author: Chicko [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Mon, Apr 21 2008, 01:01:48pm PNG elections to feature on SBS By KEVIN PAMBA AN hour-long film on corruption, tribalism and thuggery during the 2007 national elections in PNG will be aired on Australia’s SBS television at 8.30 tonight. The film titled PNG: The Rules of the Game by Walkey Award winner Thom Cookes looks at the problems in the election process and claims that attempts to clean up the undemocratic mess in the PNG election process has achieved little. The film follows three of the 37 candidates in the Eastern Highlands governor’s race, incumbent Mal Smith-Kela, female candidate Julie Soso and coffee stalwart, Jon Yogiyo, as they set out into the challenging world of PNG politics The film also features Electoral Commission legal adviser John Nonggorr. An online review says: “The underlying problem is closely associated with the history of PNG tribal warfare . . . tribes discuss fighting at length . . . which ultimately ends in death. This has, to a degree, been transferred to the political system and the power play of PNG politics.” A DVD of the film is selling at A$38.45.
