Parties lack ‘bread and butter’ policies

Registrar of Political Parties, Dr. Alphonse Gelu, says political parties fail to address everyday issues which he coined as ‘bread and butter issues.’

He said one of the major ‘bread and butter issues’ which are highlighted in elections overseas is the issue of tax.

“In Papua New Guinea I’m very, very surprised that despite this very big number of political parties, I think we have 35, none of them talk about taxes.
