PNG 'dirty money' trail leads to Australia

Millions of dollars allegedly corruptly obtained from the PNG government have been siphoned to Australian banks, confidential banking documents reveal.

Fairfax Media has also confirmed that Australian bank NAB recently increased its due diligence on some money transfers from PNG due to corruption concerns.

The allegedly dirty money stems from a corruption scandal gripping PNG that has led to the suspension of senior government officials and Prime Minister Peter O'Neill last month asking the Australian Federal Police and Interpol to help investigate.

Mr O'Neill also threatened to sack all staff in the country's Finance Department after allegations in Parliament implicating top officials and prominent lawyers. On one day in October last year, a bank account linked to Mr Paraka wired about $80,000 in three transactions to his Australian-based wives and girlfriends, including one who lives in Sydney's Star City casino complex. Between February 2012 and February this year, almost $3 million was transferred to Australia from bank accounts linked to Mr Paraka. PNG investigators believe most of these funds were corruptly obtained.

The ability of Mr Paraka - who denies any wrongdoing - to transfer suspicious amounts of money raises questions about what Australian banks, the federal police and the anti-money-laundering agency, Austrac, are doing to block or investigate dirty money.

The ease with which allegedly corrupt PNG officials and businessmen can transfer money to Australia is becoming an increasing concern for law enforcement officials in both countries.

A senior executive said she ''lost'' herself while falsifying thousands of  patient records at the Canberra Hospital's Emergency Department, official  documents show.

Contemporary records of Kate Jackson's confession to being the central figure  in last year's data doctoring scandal record the Executive Director of Critical  Care telling her superiors that she stopped tampering with patients' records,  because she ''just couldn't do it any more''.

Santos applied for relinquishment waivers to explore its permit areas in a ''logical and orderly fashion'', in consultation with the community and landholders.

''This process isn't unusual,'' he said.

Relinquishment waivers were also given to Apex Energy in the Illawarra - an area part-covering Sydney's drinking water catchment - and Dart Energy in a licence area north of Newcastle.

I've not seen the county I live in compromised yet, but people have been dumbed down around here. It wouldn't surprise me a bit. We've even got County officials buying up 1800 acres to create an Industrial Park with nobody saying they are coming. I don't think government should be in that line of work.

I haven't yet, first time I've been there in a while. Cassandra does a good job with it. I'll see if I can get her to add us.
