O'Neill has enough of Namah and his "hot air" on Petromin - Palm - 05-01-2013
Namah's political party had a big part in Petromin's creation, but O'Neill has had enough of Namah's carrying on. He's even suing Namah and EMTV:

The National, Wednesday 1st May 2013
LEGISLATION for Petromin PNG Holdings Ltd and the Independent Public Business Corporation (IPBC) is being drafted and there is no need for opposition leader Belden Namah to be “belching hot air” about it, Prime Minister Peter O’Neill says.
“We are still in the process of drafting the legislation to do that,” he told a media cpmference reporters yesterday.
“There is no need for our learned opposition leader to jump up and down. He needs to be responsible in his statements.”
O’Neill said Petromin was not being shut down while IPBC had a lot of things wrong about it that needed to be changed.
“Petromin is still operating,” he said.
“We know that he (Namah) is a very strong supporter of Petromin and we welcome that.
“We welcome his interest in the IPBC.
“After 10 years of that national organisation being in place, we have seen the result of the chaotic manner in which IPBC has been operating in for quite some time.
“I know he (Namah) has a very personal interest because his party (PNG Party) was responsible for establishing that organisation.”
"PAPUA New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O'Neill is suing opposition leader Belden Namah and a reporter for defamation.
The move comes after PNG television station EMTV aired allegations by Mr Namah about Mr O'Neill.
"I'm not only suing Namah for defamation, I will also hold him criminally liable for what he has said," Mr O'Neill said in a statement on Tuesday night.
Mr O'Neill is also suing EMTV journalist Scott Waide and EMTV.
He said he was shocked by the opposition leader's comments and at the TV network for airing them.
"This has gone on for a while and I'm fed up. I've been patient with him for too long," Mr O'Neill said, referring to Mr Namah.
"He does not have a licence to open his mouth and make wild and unfounded allegations against anyone.
"He has to provide evidence or account for what he has said."
This time last year Mr Namah was Mr O'Neill's deputy prime minister, until the two fell out in the lead up to the mid-year national election.
The result of that election saw roughly 94 of PNG's 111 politicians support Mr O'Neill, while Mr Namah currently leads a 14-man opposition.
Comment is being sought from Mr Namah"

Remember Bonk betting on Namath during the elections. Now Namath wants to stop the disbanding of Petromin?? Connect the dots.
