Between the Lines

DIVIDEND

The long lines at the superannuation body’s main office gave many the wrong impression that the dividend payout had been announced. It is still some time before the announcement.

DEFAMATION

Think twice before making any comments on social media that could land you in trouble, even if it is about someone with whom you are having a tiff. Criminal libel is an offence under the Crimes Act, and a woman found out that false comments could land one in jail.

VERY YOUNG

An 11-year-old was taken in for questioning regarding a burglary at a home in Vailele. The other two involved are 14 and 16. They are definitely getting younger.

ASSAULT

What could be the reason why there has been no update on the assault that took place outside a prominent resident in Siusega? It does not look like as if there is any interference.

MOVIES

Obscene language and nude scenes are still part of some movies that are being broadcast on local television channels. The same movies can be played without the obscenities. They have the technology.

WELL PAID
