TAX FREE

It is rumoured that the new party plans to trump the blue party on improving the cost of living by removing tax on 16 food items. Where were all these suggestions before the election?

QUIET

The government ministry overseeing the district grants has stayed quiet even when district councils claim that they too have dissolved, and yet close to a million tala was given to some. Where is the money?

BABYSIT

The term ‘caretaker’ does not mean that the executive just babysits the functions of the government. If there is misuse and abuse, they have the power to take action.

GOOD BUSINESS

Despite the drizzle and gloomy weather, many were at Friendship Park for the Pacific Break Concert on Friday night. This also meant business for the night operators, especially for the eateries.

CHARGES

One or two members of the police could be facing charges for the death of a man from Moamoa who died in police custody a few months back. Good to see the boys in blue keeping up with all the process to hold their staff accountable.

CHALLENGES

One thing is for sure that there will be more than a few challenges to candidacy for many. The question of the service to the village comes into question, and some have been absent from these villages for years.
