Considering the very numerous times I've either heard people going on about the inability to register or pay online and the huge number of times over the past 6-7 years that I have spent hours helping people to register their properties and setup accounts at the RPT online portal it would be a good start if Inland Revenue would get the RPT online website and payment pages back up and actually usable. They have been problematic and fully down for most of the past two years. Pretty hard to pay your taxes when the system keeps giving error codes. The other problem is the whole process to setup an account and get registered into the system is very opaque. Then lets talk about the fact that when changes or updates are made there are no warnings that they are or have been made plus no instructions on how to implement said changes.

Rubbish….Florida at the moment has the 14th highest per capita case rate of all US states. Case rates fluctuate week to week and that lowest rate for Florida was for 1 very specific week.

This man is not only tone-deaf but he is clueless about how the average person in this country has to operate. And he is also intentionally ignoring how sketchy and unreliable our internet, digital/cellular and electrical infrastructure is. Anybody remember when the whole cell/digital system went completely down throughout the whole country for almost 24 hrs??

Pretty sure that Europe,Canada and the US have not approved the Chinese vaccine…so good luck trying to go to any of those countries if that is what you get vaccinated with.

Yes the article from Israel shows that efficacy of Pfizer in preventing infection has dropped....but more importantly from the same article..."At the same time, protection against hospitalization and serious illness remained strong. From May 2 to June 5, the efficacy rate in preventing hospitalization was 98.2%, compared with 93% from June 6 to July 3. A similar decline in the rate was recorded for the vaccine’s efficiency in preventing serious illness among people who had been inoculated."

Never ever trust these companies. They only serve their own self-interest.

And yet flights between Nassau and Toronto were full during the months leading up to the withdrawl of flights in January. Granted once Canada put the idiotic and useless 3-day hotel quarantine policy in place the airlines realized what business was available between the islands,mexico and Canada was effectivly dead for the forseeable future.

The honourable minister says "So something is going on there that we don’t quite understand...". Really???? I guess the minister has to be diplomatic and can't really call out the 800lb. gorilla in the room.

Whatever percentage of Royal Caribbeans passengers used to come ashore to Nassau/PI will now be reduced by 90% once this new Royal Beach Club comes on line. There is no way that the cruise line won't be promoting it to the detriment of Nassau and PI and that is 1000% guaranteed.
