Ben Micah (Kavieng, People’s Progress Party), who has been Peter O’Neill’s chief of staff, distinguished himself earlier this year by publishing a notice in the daily newspapers vowing those who spread “malicious and misleading” information would be “dealt with.” In the statement Micah called on “patriots” to report to the authorities pople who were publishing material online and via text message information “subversive to the overall security of the nation … All patriots and law-abiding citizens are required to be vigilant,” the statement said. After public outrage, Micah was repudiated by O’Neill who said his government had no intention of setting up investigations into what’s said in the press or online about his administration.
