The headline to this article should more accurately read:
> Insurers to Gov’t: ‘We’re in this together’ with tax to screw the poor insured policyholder.
Especially with Anton Saunders saying:
> “We told the Government: ‘We’re all in this together. We understand you need to raise money, and these are ways you can raise money without disrupting the insurance industry and not causing confusion in the international insurance market’.”
**Translation**: *Insurers are willing to help government get more tax from their poor and financially struggling policyholders, like you and me.*
All of the utter BS about such legislation encouraging spiteful and/or vindictive wives to wrongfully accuse their husbands of rape is just that, utter BS!
The UK and many other countries have long had excellent statutes criminalising marital rape which afford more than adequate protection in instances where innocent persons may be wrongfully accused of rape.
And the UK legislation that exists on this matter can simply be copied by our attorney-general's office almost word for word in producing a suitable, appropriate, and workable bill for speedy passage by our own legislators.
Our PM and the attorney-general are clearly not supportive of legislation criminalising marital rape. All they ever do is give the subject lip-service whenever it comes up again in public in a big way.
Women in The Bahamas need to make sure that they and they children of age (especially their daughters) all register to vote in the next national general election. And they should only cast their vote for a candidate running in their constituency who has signed and made public their personal proclamation to support the passage of meaningful and enforceable legislation that makes marital rape illegal at the earliest possible time.
This should be a top-priority piece of legislation for all our parliamentarians so as to afford all women in our country a fundamental and basic right of protection from a most heinous crime.
Get off your duff PM and do something meaningful and right for a change. And by the way, why is your wife so silent on this issue and never speaks publicly with any real fire in her belly about it?!
Glad to see that even Atlantis is now realising these cruise ship visitors are a much greater cost than they will ever be worth. The pockets of 'cheap' cruise ship passengers are picked clean by the ruthlessly greedy business model of the cruise line industry, leaving them with little if any to spend at their ports of call.
When is our government going to finally wake up to this fact and pivot away from the polluting cruise ship industry by placing a much greater emphasis on wealthier and more spendthrift air arrival visitors?
And by now we have a pretty good idea which senior government officials are receiving 'benefits' they should **not** be getting in exchange for pimping our country like a cheap prostitute to the very corrupt cruise ship operators. Are you carefully listening Chester the Jester and Joy Jibrilu?
Nothing but cheaply obtained court news by The Tribune, which isn't even really news worthy.
I guess Hartnell too is not paid enough by The Tribune to get out there and conduct some really meaningful investigative journalism. And I'm not talking about the kind of reporting that comes with a free lunch or dinner from the usual 'news' sources.
Davis has been PM for nearly one full year and, all of a sudden, on the third anniversay of Hurricane Dorian, he announces his government has **not** done nearly enough to help those who are still suffering three years later from the massive devastation caused by that hurricane. Talk about a cruel PM with plenty hot air and no action!
> “The government should also abandon its current illegal tax cut on yachts for the wealthy."
Pintard doesn't even appreciate how foolish he sounds in making the above statement. Tax breaks for the rich man always mean more taxes for the poor man. He should simply be asking for government to do whatever is necessary to legalize the tax on yachts for the wealthy.
