from The National - Australian foreign minister Alexander Downer told The Age newspaper he was concerned that the report recommended action against Sir Michael, and urged him to release the findings.

Arriving in Port Moresby yesterday after his big election victory looking fresh and buoyed by the National Alliance surge towards forming government, Sir Michael Somare  was asked to comment on Australian media reports quoting a “leaked” report of the inquiry purported to highlight his involvement and the recommended action against him by the board of inquiry.

Sir Michael’s comments were: “You can tell them (Australian media) to go to hell”.

He told the reporters at the Jacksons Airport that the Moti issue was a Solomon Islands (SI) and Australian government issue and had nothing to do with him.

“Moti issue is the issue with Sogavare and Australian government. I have nothing to do with it; that’s all.”

Meanwhile, a spokesperson from the National Alliance Party, commenting on the Moti Inquiry Report being “leaked” to the Australian media said: “If the Australian media in collaboration with some PNG politicians want to determine the outcome of the formation of government, I wish them luck.
