Between the Lines
FERGIE
The age difference was clear when a 40-plus gentleman said Fergie was in town. The millennials were excited the singer from the Black Eyed Peas was here, only to be told that it was the Duchess, not the singer.
GIFTED
When was the government going to disclose that as part of gift exchange at the Atoa O Samoa meetings, they gave the neighbours six cattle which are being kept in Samoa?
LIVESTOCK
The American Samoans want to bring in almost 500 cattle from Australia to be raised on land in Samoa. Didn’t a cabinet minister once talk about exporting cattle to Pago? Guess they have beaten us.
CHANGES
The leader of the blue party may need to jog his memory. Wasn’t it his administration that changed the law that allowed the appointment of other people rather than the finance boss as chair of a board?
ELECTRIC
As the world turns to having more electric vehicles for a cleaner environment, this concept for Samoa may take two decades. With the high cost of electricity, people may still stick to fossil fuel.
HORSES AND CARTS
A case of the cart before the horse. The commissioners and chair of the consumer and competition board were announced but there is no framework on how they will operate. The same for the export one.
