Only 1 question - Did the PM take the advice of Brent Symonette and take questions from the media? Or did he still run from taking questions? And don't tell me anything about interview with ZNS cause they don't know how to ask hard questions to the very people who pay their salaries. Talk about conflict of interest.
*Mr Sands was backed by Dionisio D’Aguilar, minister of tourism and aviation, who agreed that the timing was not right for The Bahamas to provide incentives and discounts given that it has a premium, high-end position to maintain.*
Are these people serious? We prefer to have the tourism product for premium hogs end people and the average bahama ian is not able to experience the product in their own country? This discrimination and catering to the elite has to stop NOW!!!!! Enough of this.
How do you practice social (physical) distancing when you sell the middle seat. I'm tried of people making stupid statement when in fact they know it makes no sense.
It is rather sad how this statement from rights bahamas is so one sided. Whose rights are they fighting for?
Most people at the detention centre are there because they illegally entered the Bahamas. There statement speaks volumes by remaining silent on that issue in context. Trying to compared the detention centre to the protest in the US is just unethical.
The media here in the Bahamas does not practice good journalism.They only print press releases for news.They should ask questions and do real investigative journalism.
@bonefish, you have hit the nail on the head. Our media needs to tell these people that they will only print these releases if they are allowed to ask them the hard questions.
Still waiting for the term limits bill for the Prime Minister and the fix election date bill.
*"Mr Cooper nevertheless said he was "very confident" that Bahamasair will rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic, noting that it "plays a vital role in Bahamian infrastructure" and is effectively "the transportation system if the country" in providing service to the Family Islands."*
Bahamasair is vital to the Bahamian infrastructure? An airline that has never once turned a profit is vital? More a drain that vital. Many local private carriers, who do not get the subsidy Bahamasair gets, are more vital to the Bahamian infrastructure.
Was pointing out that his contribution to the debate in parliament was probably the most sensible and realistic and speaking what the people are feeling out of all of them. And he did it without reading from a prepared script like all the others. It showed he had a heart and interlined what he was saying. So giving him props!!!! The rest could learn from him!

Alfred was totally wrong. He overstepped his boundaries into the Judiciary and should have been thrown in jail.
