Between the Lines
URGENT
It could be urgent meetings on the cards to force the leader of the nation to twice cancel his appointment with the media. The third time is the charm.
POWER RATE
It is happening already. A power company in a neighbouring island has just increased its electricity rates. This is a country that actually has functioning hydro dams. Is this what the government is going to announce next? Remember, the monthly cost of power generation has gone up by $5 million.
BUCKETS
The hospital’s spending on buckets may have increased as more are needed to collect water from leaking ceilings. Whatever has happened to the planned renovation works? Is there a money problem at the health head office?
ANGRY
Some angry old men are driving around. One such individual followed a driver to his house, demanding an apology for a road rage incident. After not getting one, he decided to report it to the police. He demanded the same professionalism he gets in Australia to be accorded to him. It turned out the man was in the wrong and luckily, he was not charged.
CROSSING
Children from a school in Vailoa were spotted running across the busy highway. This was happening just metres from a crossing. Who is to blame here? The children, their parents or the teachers.
