We are interested to do cover the Live streaming coverage for that.

We must also take into consideration the businesses that are employing. Will they have the financial capacity to take onboard addtional salary bills, otherwise, can the government consider any incentives for the employers, % REDUCTION in Group Tax?. I believe companies are currently paying 30% tax on the profit they earn at the end of the financial year, otherwise, for profit driven businesses, they will pass down costs to consumers and will result in the increase in cost of goods and servives. No one wins if this does happen.

Thank you, Hon. kessy sawangโ€ฆ.when will this minimum wage start..Our very province Madang will startโ€ฆI know you full of wisdom the way you speak in th parlement โ€ฆ.

I havenโ€™t met the lady who places flowers ๐Ÿ’ in my office to say โ€œthank youโ€. Her theme is always purple, complimented by reds, white, and bright colors. And they are soft gentle flowers, placed in a beautiful basket.

Today, I was greeted by deep purple, fuchsia, turquoise and sprinkled with a bit of lemon yellow and olive green.

THANK YOU SO MUCH ๐Ÿ™. GRATITUDE ALSO FOR THE FARMERS WHO GROW THESE BEAUTIES ๐Ÿ’™
