From: PNGexposed Blog O’Neill’s illegal logging: 392 days and counting… It is now 392 days since Prime Minister Peter O’Neill told that the SABL leases were unlawful and should be revoked. It was on June 24, 2013 that he was given the reports of the SABL Commission Inquiry which detail the widespread fraud and mismanagement used by foreign logging companies to gain illegal access to over 5 million hectares of land. O’Neill has promised to cancel the leases and stop the illegal logging several times and last month he announced an NEC decision ordering the cancellation of some of the leases. But we are still waiting for the leases to be cancelled and the logging stopped. For 392 days O’Neill has failed to act on the Commission of Inquiry findings, failed to revoke the SABL leases and been complicit in the illegal logging of forest resources by foreign logging companies. Prime Minister Peter O’Neill has aided and abetted the theft of logs worth hundreds of million of kina and the destruction of thousands of hectares of pristine forest.
