Letter: Charge Americans

Now we know why our PM is calling for Cook Islands passports - he was hedging his bets that Trump would be elected in the USA and that there would be thousands of well-to-do Yanks desperate to escape the 'Fourth Reich" and prepared to buy their way into one of the safest, most desirable places on earth. Our paradise.

Let's just hope that the PM does not sell us short like happened with previous government and fishing rights. The starting point for a CI passport has to be US$5m. We only need to sell 100 to match the (fantasy) income projection from the rape of our oceans by the nodule harvesters. What a brilliant PM we have.
