Don't sack DPM yet
Thursday 11 February 2016 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, Don’t sack the DPM yet. Let him dress the Muri lagoon from Avana to Avaavaroa. I believe he is the only one capable of doing the job. He does less talk and walks the hard yards. That’s the problem with us locals, when one of us is successful we spend the rest of our lives trying to drag them down. Good on you DPM. We have a natural disaster to be addressed immediately.

PAC different
Wednesday 10 February 2016 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, Without responding to Brett Porter’s unfortunate habit of hiding weak arguments within personal insults, I should point out that “PAC” is not the same as “PERCA”. PAC reports to Parliament: it is a watchdog independent of government. PERCA is a government committee, appointed by government with the same function in regard to government as an internal audit group would have in regard to a private business.
Picking on Papa Norm
Wednesday 10 February 2016 | Published in Smoke Signals
Really, you are blaming Papa Norm for this as well. Some useless old sod is picking on Papa Norm for a successful mosquito eradication programme which was a last resort to a Dengue epidemic we were facing in early 2000. Sounds like this egg would prefer we walk around the island in a long line from the beach to the hills trying to smack out every mosquito and turn over every stone or used tyre. Stop blaming others and start providing proactive ways to address the issue. Maybe your micro thought process needs a reboot. By the way the Operation Namu Programme was very successful. So thank you Papa Norm.
