LAWSUIT

Who is the elected leader that a Samoan in Australia says he would be taking him to court? The elected leader called the man a child molester in a public forum. The man has threatened lawsuits in Samoa and Australia.

BANNED

Another nation has banned the use of social media for those below the age of 16 years. Australia was the first, and now Spain has joined them. Something our leaders could discuss.

BUSY WEEK

A busy week lies ahead. Two overseas dignitaries are arriving for a meeting with the government, the two by-elections are happening, and the first college sevens rugby tournament is on as well.

ROBLOX

Are your children playing a game called Roblox? News has emerged that paedophiles were using the game to target children. The importance of monitoring children’s activity on the internet cannot be emphasised enough.

PARTICIPATION

In a democracy, it is not only acceptable to criticise the government, but it is healthy. Constructive criticism is not disloyalty. It is participation.

BUS TRAFFIC

Expect some inconvenience from Monday as areas of the Savalalo Bus Terminal have been closed to allow for construction works. Also expect high traffic in town as most buses will be heading to Fugalei.
