A government delegation is heading to Pago Pago to have talks with Google, and it involves submarine cables. Even the acting top cop is accompanying the leader of the government.

DELAYED

With the leader of the nation away on important business, the superannuation dividend announcement could be delayed, and so could be the announcement of district chairs.
