Between the Lines
SUNDAY
The government is talking about a Sunday restriction for businesses and other activities. The move sounds surprising and is sliding towards religious extremism. Nations need to stimulate the economy, not shut it down.
LEAVE
No announcement has been made yet, but at the same time last year, opening hours at the hospital were shortened to allow medical staff to take leave.
FERRY
Just a few more days to the new year, and no sight of the multi-million tala ferry yet. There is also no sign of any work at the wharf for a new ramp.
CAMERAS
The transport authority and the law enforcement agency need to talk and decide who will invest in speed cameras. The equipment is needed and will contribute to the revenue of the organisation that owns it.
REPAIRS
The courthouse in Mulinuu will be closed for at least a month, allowing its administration the perfect time to carry out renovations. However, no tenders or contracts have been announced.
RUSH
Leave the children at home when coming into town for the Christmas shopping rush. The boys in blue have dealt with a few cases of young ones separating from their families.
