Let science be the decider
Saturday 28 June 2014 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, In response to Rod Grout’s letter, I have understood that the Cook Islands has wanted to realize its fisheries potential and, in isolation, it is a lucrative interest. There has been a view put forth that this issue is best looked at on a regional basis and I agree. It has been proven that fish stocks globally have declined and will continue to do so if further restrictions are not put in place.

Govt working on 'Lost Tribe' issue
Friday 27 June 2014 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, The pertinent qualifying criteria for the Lost Tribe members to qualify to collect the NZ pension requires a person to have spent five of those 20 years in New Zealand after the age of 50 years. That is what is preventing the Lost Tribe from qualifying. And this is what is driving a number of people over the age of 50 to move to NZ so they can qualify for this particular criteria.

Friday 27 June 2014 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, As a Cook Islander I would not have known the games were on if it were not for the sign at Marekos advertising a discount to officials and athletes.

Friday 27 June 2014 | Published in Letters to the Editor

Friday 27 June 2014 | Published in Letters to the Editor
