You must have missed the part where they have been giving away reusable bags for free. Also it will be a win for the environment, but hey who cares about that.
Didn't the PM himself say there was corruption going on over here (I believe it was to the tune of $200 million pa). Where is his proof of this? He can't say this NGO person should show the proof if he himself has not done so. And i haven't heard of any civil servants being taken to jail for corruption so how did he get his $200 million figure?
Whilst i understand what the writer is saying, if he is only a little over 60 now and retired in 2003 over 16 years ago, how can he think he should get a larger pension. A pension should be based on what you contributed over the years, so less work means less in the pot. I'll be lucky to retire when i'm 70 at this rate
Maybe the supermarkets should show what the price would be if there was no price control so the public could see. They keep telling us that without price control other items would go down in price, so lets see how low those would go and also how high the price controlled ones would go. Then we would know whether price control is good or not.
Wait is this the same general strike he was talking about under Perry, or the one under Hubert? This is all he says. General Strike coming and this is the worst he has seen it in X number of years. Either have it or don't, who cares. personally some part of me would like to see it happen if only for us to finally deal with all the issues that keep getting pushed down the road.
I think we can all agree that the minimum wage is too low, however has this been costed out. What will the impact be on Government finances. We will already be running a deficit without these increases, so the increase will be added on top of that. meaning more will have to be borrowed. It seems that for a party that talks about fiscal prudence, they very quickly change their tone when the publicity is bad. Oh and they can hope the private sector will follow suit all they want. The private sector will first work out what the effect will be before they go ahead and do this.
If the domes go up faster then many tents why has it taken so long to put up? I can put a tent up in a couple of minutes and i was never a boy scout. Me thinks the guy is stretching the ease of these domes a bit

Well at least this confirms Minnis will be the first one and completely done PM over here. Good.

Sorry on my 60 i meant if he is a little over 60 now and retired in 2003 then he was in his late 40s when he retired which seems very young.
