40 percent loss of livestock is not the same as 40 percent loss of livestock pasture
Even the article says they lost no livestock so why does thre headline say otherwise

pt_90 says...

So the headline claims the home is.worth 200m then says it's worth 5.9m.

Tribune do better

Correction here I dont believe Dr. Minnis ever given a Privy Councilor appt and therefore isnt Rt. Hon see
privycouncil.independent.gov.uk/privy-council/privy-council-members/ for the list and the three Rt. Hons Sawyer, Christie, and Ingraham are there.

Minnis was given the local 'Most Hon', if i recall correctly and all of the OPM's announcements referred him as such.

You can read their financials but ill summarize

As of 2021

- Loans to the public treasury 515m

- Loans to other public entities (Airport, UB, PHA, Bridge Authority etc) 216m

These are outstanding cumulative numbers

In 2021, NIB made about 70m in investment income from its total investment book. Judging by its book a a large amount of it would have come from those investments.
Others being investments in Aliv and others

Well its not a mutual exclusive solution that can be done, we can deal with both issues.

Now I also would guess the main reason you have a lot more car deaths is because we have a lot more cars.
in 2022 there were an estiamted 260k registered vehicles. I would assume that most of them were 4+ wheel and the minority was motorcycles.

However imagine if we had 130k cars and 130k motorcycles....

Even more reason we need to get a full audit of 16m-18m to 21m-24 to 27m + 31m to complete. If they told you it was 56m to complete imagine how much more it ended up costing. Then you add the interest to pay for it over the next 30 years. Then in the next 10 years they'll say it needs 20m to an overhaul due to no maintenance and that will come with interest.

Another reason it needs an audit: Govt ministers kept claiming its vital for sports tourism but never show any docs on what plans they have to actually return the treasury the likely 80m in total costs (construction, overruns, maintenance, interest on debt) and the costs of whatever events.
