Between the Lines
BUSINESS
Rental property owners are getting away from paying higher power charges because according to an authority all rental properties are classified as businesses.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Australia is considering a law banning social media use for children below the age of 16 years. Take notes, please. This could be a good law for Samoa as well.
QUIET
They did not say a thing when support was needed for the citizenship bill and have not said a thing as the bill has now been passed. You know who?
FLOWER POWER
A new kind of thievery has emerged. Flower enthusiasts are stealing plants and cuttings from public places and sometimes from other people’s compounds.
NO CYCLONES
Do not fear. No cyclones have been detected yet despite the strong gusts of winds being felt with the occasional heavy rain.
SUGAR TAX
A sugar tax to increase the price of fizzy drinks should be considered. This would aid in the NCD fight. There should also be a consideration of increasing cigarette prices.
