More than meets the eye
Saturday 23 March 2013 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, With this Coin Save operation now being granted a special licence to conduct business, how is it that MFEM allowed the containers through without once checking if the company concerned was allowed to do business in the first place? I wonder if Mark Brown can explain how MFEM, and subsequently BTIB have allowed this to happen? Do the Chinese or authorities have a hand in this one would have to ask? This is just pure speculation regarding the Chinese involvement, but there seems to be more to this than meets the eye.

Dear Editor, Is there an alternative to the $60m Rarotonga water project? The answer to this question is a definite yes!
