'Let's make cigarettes too'
Monday 15 October 2012 | Published in Smoke Signals
“Saturday’s paper reported that Vanuatu refused to let Rock International Tobacco from setting up a cigarette factory in that country,” notes a smoke signaller. “Clearly this tobacco company went to the wrong island. Surely our Ministry of Health would be ready to support such an income generating business. Won’t someone get an email off to Rock International and explain how the Cook Islands sold our oceans to the Chinese and that they better get in quick and set up that cigarette factory while our resources and health are still on sale to anyone with ready cash and baskets of gifts.”
Fizz falls flat
Monday 15 October 2012 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, I have thus far resisted the temptation of commenting on the published comments concerning the Audit Office report into “imported soft drinks by CITC” dated 29 July 2011.

Saturday 13 October 2012 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, Whilst the Minister of Fisheries is to be congratulated on his willingness to seek an economic return from our vast but vulnerable fish resource, he should take heed of the concerns expressed not only by Reuben Tylor in his latest letter to CINews but also of many of his (the Minister’s) friends and supporters.
