Between the Lines
COPS
A call was made to the police around 4 pm on a Saturday to attend to a violent altercation between a couple in Vaitele. No one arrived and it’s Sunday. Is it time for a refresher to remind them of the no-drop policy on domestic violence?
RUGBY
There was a quick change in the keynote speaker for a rugby event on Saturday night. The leader of the nation was quickly pencilled in. Didn’t he earlier say something about keeping politics out of rugby?
FAMILY AFFAIR
Politics is becoming a family business. There are a few district offices where appointments for roles have been given to wives, siblings and children of the chairman. In one instance, the district council is a family affair. Can we see all financial reports ASAP?
LIVES
It is the weekend, and people need to reach home safely. It would help if the police had checkpoints at night at key exit points nearest to pubs and clubs. Lives can be saved if people are stopped from driving under the influence.
CAUGHT OUT
Students at a local university were caught off guard when they were questioned about their group presentation. Chat GPT may make things easy, but it is not your effort. Some employers are also questioning whether the new generation would be able to function independently without AI.
