	Radio Australia - News In Depth - In Focus - Bill Skate
		Bill Skate was perhaps the most controversial politician in PNG, a country with no shortage of colourful parliamentarians.
		Skate was born in 1954 and coming from a Port Moresby settlement background, Skate is a hero to many squatter settlers.
		Skate died in hospital in the Australian city of Brisbane on January 3 after suffering a stroke.

		Bill—called "Electric Bill" because he is an electrician by trade—set out to document all the great skate parks in one guidebook to help skaters to find their way across the west.
		Bill and the crew in his RV would be traveling with us—documenting, shooting photos, and noting the features of each park—as we went.
		Bill, Smoky, and a couple of new riders—Rion Linderman and Lance Leisher—revisited the states Bill had already covered, and then moved on to Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico.

	PNG honours controversial former PM - Breaking News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Skate's knighthood is a far cry from his upbringing by adoptive parents in a Port Moresby settlement, then youthful manoeuvres within the city's raskol gang scene.
		Skate, who only lasted two years as prime minister, was unable to survive the desertion of his coalition partners and his term was dogged by allegations of corruption and financial mismanagement.
		Skate was acting governor-general in PNG from October 2003 to May 2004 but resigned after his party, the People's National Congress (PNC), was dropped from the ruling coalition under Sir Michael Somare.

	Asia Times: PNG's PM counters Australian criticism of Taiwan links
		Skate had not gone to Taiwan to beg for money but loans and trade were discussed, the spokesman said - adding that the trip, which was kept secret from the media and the public due to its sensitivity, had been approved by the PNG cabinet.
		Skate's spokesman said Moore's comments were ''very unfortunate and very ill-informed.'' The spokesman said Skate would report on the results of his trip to Taiwan to the cabinet later this week.
		Skate, who is fighting for his political life ahead of the expected no-confidence motion, told reporters last week that he needed to take three to four days off, away from the wheeling and dealing of PNG politics.

	Asia Times: People's Democratic party chief contender for new PNG PM
		Only last week, Skate vowed that he would continue as Prime Minister until 2002, denying he was under pressure to resign as his coalition disintegrated around him and his government lurched from crisis to crisis.
		Skate said he was quitting as prime minister to ''stabilize politics.'' He said he believed he still had the support to withstand a vote of no confidence but his coalition partners saw him as an obstacle to the government's survival.
		Skate said it was up to government MPs to decide if he should renominate for the prime ministership.

	Bill on Skate-a-thon
		Most people learn how to roller skate by watching somebody else, but if the person who's watching is watching junk, that's what is going to come from watching unless the one watching knows the difference.
		I have a lot of respect for roller skates, for the sport itself and for people who do it with the same intensity that I do, I don't care what it is, roller blades or whatever.
		Intermediate skating is when you start to experiment with different styles, creating your own style after having learned the basics.] That would be somebody who's got their balance down, they know how to stop, no lessons, no nothing, just following simple rules.
