SURPRISE

In 2007, when Winston Peters came to Samoa he was given a matai title. Wonder if the government is preparing another surprise for the New Zealand leader.

MEDIA FRIENDLY

The New Zealand government ministers are travelling in a defence force plane with a big contingent of Kiwi media who can talk to him and see what he does. Can our leaders learn something from this?

TOUGH ONE

Questions arise as to why some cabinet ministers do not talk to the media about things concerning the public but do so on a government-sponsored TV show. Are they afraid to answer the tough questions?

FOR THE BOYS

It looks like jobs for the boys yet again. There was an announcement about appointments at the price control body. An ardent supporter of the ruling party was spotted as one of the appointments.

WALLABIES IN TOWN

If anyone thought they spotted two former Wallabies in town, they are not wrong. Ioane Digby and Radike Samoa have been holding coaching clinics for the players.

CHECK

Some local employers have been cheating employees out of their full wages and their SNPF has not been paid on time as well. SNPF and MCIL need to do spot checks as workers won’t complain for various reasons.
