Opposition demands PNG foreign minister be sacked over 'primitive animals' comments while defending daughter
Calls for Papua New Guinea’s foreign minister to be sacked — and even have his citizenship stripped — over “racist” and “derogatory” comments are intensifying ahead of US President Joe Biden’s historic visit to the country.
In an interview with the ABC on Wednesday, Justin Tkatchenko called people criticising his daughter, over a TikTok video she posted, “primitive animals” and “useless individuals”.
The video, made during a PNG taxpayer-funded trip to the coronation of King Charles III, was tagged #aussiesinengland and flaunted cocktails and lavish meals at first class airport lounges.
It triggered widespread anger in PNG where almost 40 per cent of people live below the basic needs poverty line, according to the World Bank.
“[My daughter is] absolutely traumatised by these primitive animals. And I call them primitive animals because they are,” Mr Tkatchenko said in the interview.
He said his daughter was selected to attend the coronation in the place of his wife, who couldn’t make the event.
PNG opposition leader Joseph Lelang said Mr Tkatchenko’s response to the criticism was insulting to Papua New Guineans.
“It is racist … it is a very derogatory remark,” Mr Lelang said.
“I joined the chorus of Papua New Guineans to call for the prime minister to sack Justin Tkatchenko and have him referred to the Ombudsman Commission for misconduct in office.”
