Willie Jimmy Tapangararua, often just referred to as Willie Jimmy, is a Vanuatu politician with the National United Party.
==Career==
Jimmy has served as Vanuatu's Minister of Finance and / or Trade on several occasions. In 2003, he was nominated to be the country's Deputy Prime Minister, but at the last minute was switched to the Minister of Trade position, so that the NUP president could be nominated in his place, as part of a coalition-building strategy. He would go on to play a role in relations with China as his country's first ambassador to China, appointed in 2009.〔
On 23 March 2013, new Prime Minister Moana Carcasses Kalosil appointed him Minister for Finance. On 10 May, Carcasses sacked him, "amid reports the veteran politician was in talks with the opposition about a possible defection", which Jimmy denied. Maki Simelum, who had been Minister for Justice, replaced him, while Silas Yatan (Greens, MP for Tanna) was given the Justice portfolio.〔("Sacked Vanuatu Finance Minister feels betrayed by PM" ), Radio New Zealand International, 10 May 2013〕 Jimmy joined the Opposition. On 26 February 2014, facing defections to the Opposition, Carcasses offered Cabinet positions to Opposition MPs, so as to shore up his parliamentary majority. Jimmy was one of those who defected to Carcasses' government for a Cabinet job; he was appointed Minister for Trade - replacing Daniel Toara, was dismissed to make room for him.〔("Chaos reigns in Vanuatu politics. Again" ), Radio Australia, 26 February 2014〕 Jimmy lost office when the Carcasses government was brought down by a motion of no confidence on 15 May 2014.〔("Natuman names cabinet line-up" ), ''Vanuatu Digest'', 16 May 2014〕
On 11 June 2015, three government MPs crossed the floor, enabling the Opposition to oust Joe Natuman's government through a motion of no confidence. Sato Kilman formed the new government, and re-appointed Jimmy to the position of Minister for Finance.〔("Vanuatu announces new cabinet after new prime minister Sato Kilman is elected" ), Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 12 June 2015〕 On 2 September, Jimmy pleaded guilty in court to charges of corruption for having taken bribes.〔("Vanuatu finance minister Willie Jimmy pleads guilty to charges of bribery in trial implicating 18 MPs" ), Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 3 September 2015〕 Jimmy admitted to receiving 1,000,000 vatu from Moana Carcasses in return for support in the motion of no-confidence that brought the Kilman government to power. The 15 other MPs accused of bribery pleaded not guilty, but all but one of them were subsequently convicted.〔http://www.paclii.org/vu/cases/VUSC/2015/135.html〕
