He Fiddled While Papa New Guinea Burned

From a newspaper in PNG:

Nero Proposes Anti-Money Laundering Law

PAPUA New Guinea should come up with a law against money laundering if it’s serious about combating corruption, said a top Ombudsman official.

Ombudsman Commission Deputy Director of Leadership John Nero said there could be continuous numerous talks about how to fight money laundering, but unless a law against this is put in place, nothing could stop the crime.

You'd think "Nero" would be one of those names that no one would ever try to use in politics again. Sort of like "Benedict," "Agnew," "Hitler," or "Caligula."
