The real misery in this society...
Thursday 13 December 2012 | Published in Letters to the Editor

Decriminalise marijuana in the Cooks
Tuesday 11 December 2012 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, To our parliament leaders of the Cook Islands, it is to my understanding that a review of the laws regarding sentences towards marijuana users etc, is going into consideration due to how the sentences on our fellow men are, how shall I say, over the top.

Call to stand against 2 male MPs
Saturday 8 December 2012 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, The PM deplores domestic violence, said the headline in CINews on Friday December 7, although what he says is confusing in that the PM seemed to think it was okay for village elders and parents to give kids hidings as this was a traditional communal approach (which is domestic violence isn’t it?). He then says he despises domestic violence and especially violence of men against women.

Market entertainment started too late
Friday 7 December 2012 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, I just had to say something about the Christmas in the Park/Market this year – echoing what many families have said. While I commend the great guys and gals at Rotaract for all their hard work in putting this great night together, it was really frustrating and annoying that it takes so long for any of the planned entertainment to start!
Absolute bull
Friday 7 December 2012 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, Teenui-Mapumai MP Norman George is quoted as asking “whether the government was going to halt allowing foreign workers into the Cooks” – in light of the fact that 35 percent of our population is made up of foreign workers.
Absolute gall!
Friday 7 December 2012 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, I love the absolute gall of John Scott demanding gullible politicians to place tariffs, duties and levies on imported eggs to protect his monopoly and then blather on about it in the press by taking the high moral ground.
Minister Brown 'not on same planet'
Thursday 6 December 2012 | Published in Letters to the Editor

Nothing to hide
