No change on telco stance
SuGGESTIoNS that Govern-
ment buy a majority share of Telecom Cook Islands have been likened to “Toagate” by the Minister of Telecommunications Mark brown. Government is currently in talks with Paciic telecommunications company Digicel, which is looking into possibly buying Telecom New Zealand’s 60 per cent share of Telecom Cook Islands – with the other 40 per cent owned by the Cook Islands Government. In an opinion piece published in CINews (‘Telecom shares should be sold to locals’, february 8), opposition leader Wilkie rasmussen said the Government should exercise its right of irst refusal on the deal and look to purchase the company and sell the shares to Cook Islanders. brown – who had previously
Govt doesn’t want another ‘Toagate’
stated that the Government is happy with its minority shareholding and has no intention to purchase more shares in the company – said he was “very, very concerned” when he read rasmussen’s views. “It sounds like another ‘Toagate’ situation. The last time Government tried to nationalise an industry it didn’t go very well, and we’re still paying for it. If I was a taxpayer I’d be very, very worried.” “Toagate” refers to the outcome of moves by a previous government to nationalise the fuel industry, in an effort to secure cheaper fuel for consumers.

This eventually resulted in a court ruling ordering the Government to pay fuel company Toa a $1.75 million lump sum and guarantee the company an
annual profit of $1.2 million from 2010 to 2018. This arose after the government at the time went against a contract with Toa to purchase its fuel facilities, and also moved its fuel volumes from Toa to Triad which negatively impacted Toa’s ability to be proitable. - Briar Douglas

New editor welcomed
MArk EbrEy has just joined the Cook Islands News as Editor. from New Zealand, he has had a long career in the communications industry and previously owned his own community newspaper. He was one of the original team that set up the fiji Sun in Suva in 1974 and has since worked largely in the public relations industry. Cook Islands News co-owner John Woods has taken on the role of Publisher and passed over full day-to-day editorial control to Ebrey. “I am delighted to get someone with the experience and knowledge that Mark has to take on the role of editor and have encouraged him to make any changes that he thinks will turn the Cook Islands News into a better product,” Woods says. for his part, Ebrey says that he was encouraged by the quality of the copies of the paper he had

seen prior to making a decision to come to the Cooks and that he has been impressed by the commitment and skills of the editorial team since he arrived. “As a professional communicator of long standing, I understand and appreciate the importance of providing the community with a balanced commentary of all activity taking place in the Cooks. However, there will be changes that some may not like, such as restricting letter writers to one ‘bite of the cherry’ on an individual topic, or deciding to bring discussion on a topic to an end in the letters column when it is obvious that there is nothing new to be canvassed. “I look forward to getting out and about over the next few weeks to meet as many people as possible to hear what they say about the paper and how we can better fulil our role as ‘the voice’ of the community.”

Police in Bujumbura said the toll was the highest in living memory from a disaster caused by freak weather, with scores of people injured. “So far we have registered 60 people killed, 81 wounded and more than 400 houses destroyed,” said Alexis Manirakiza, a spokesman for the Burundi Red Cross, adding that most of the victims were children. Torrential rains began battering the city late on Sunday where houses are often built from mud bricks, which ofer no resistance to torrents of water and mud.
TOYOTA TO PULL OUT OF AUSTRALIA AUSTRALIA – Toyota is to end its vehicle and engine production in Australia by the end of 2017, efectively marking the end of the country’s carmaking industry. Last year, Ford and General Motors’ Holden unit also announced plans to stop producing cars in Australia. About 2,500 jobs are set to be lost as a result of Toyota’s decision, which it attributed to high manufacturing costs. “Various negative factors such as an extremely competitive market and a strong Australian dollar, together with forecasts of a reduction in the total scale of vehicle production in Australia, have forced us to make this painful decision,” said Toyota president Akio Toyoda. The Japanese auto giant, which irst began making cars in Australia in 1963, said it “intends to provide the best support it can, including employment assistance” to those afected by the decision.

Andrade, 49, who works for the Band TV network, sufered a head injury while covering a protest against train fare rises at Rio’s Central Station. He had to undergo brain surgery after an explosive device, apparently lit by a protester, detonated behind his head. On Sunday, police arrested a protester in connection with the incident. “Our main aim is to identify the person who’s responsible for setting of the device which hit Santiago,” police oicial Jose Pedro Costa told a news conference. The demonstration started of peacefully but turned violent after protesters moved to Central Station.
FEmALE FOOTbALLERS FACE GENDER TESTS IRAN – Iran’s national football league has announced it will force female players to undergo medical testing to prove their gender. Medical examiners will turn up unannounced at training sessions of women’s premier league teams and conduct the compulsory tests Players who don’t meet the requirements will be banned from participating in the women’s league until they undergo medical treatment. Seven leading players, including four in the national women’s team, have already had their contracts terminated because they either had not completed gender transitions or had sexual development disorders. Though Iran has strict rules dictating sexual morality, sex reassignment surgery has been legal since a religious ruling made by the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
in flood-hit south-west England, said it was not the time to change personnel amid criticism of Environment Agency head lord Smith. Homes, shops and businesses in the berkshire village of Datchet are underwater and hundreds more along the lower river Thames, as far as Shepperton, are under threat, the Environment Agency says. Several Thames gauges are showing their highest levels since being installed in the 1980s and 90s. fire crews, who have been rescuing people from their homes in Staines-upon-Thames, say they have never known waters so deep or a lood rescue operation on this scale. In Windsor, Councillor Colin rayner pleaded for help from the police and military. “We’ve got 50 volunteers here, we’ve got the vulnerable people out of their homes, now we need to get everyone else out,” he said Nearby, in the berkshire village of Colnbrook, resident Asif khan said his whole street was under water. “It’s something out of a horror movie,” he said, adding that he was now about to try to evacuate with his two small children. The Environment Agency said it had never issued as many severe lood warnings and that many areas had seen more than double their average rainfall. railway lines have also been badly affected with passengers facing severe delays. The Met Ofice said that between 40 and 70mm of rain was expected across South West England and South Wales between now and the end of friday. Strong winds that could cause damage and disruption are expected across parts of the South West on Wednesday, it also warns. - BBC

Homs evacuation extended HoMS – Some 300 Syrians
have led Homs after both sides agreed to extend a three-day truce in the old City, which has been under siege for 18 months. Hundreds of civilians were allowed to leave at the weekend after the local governor agreed a truce with the uN. Meanwhile, government and opposition negotiators have resumed peace talks in Geneva. Analysts say that little progress is expected. The opposition wants the
government to commit in writing to the 2012 Geneva Communique, which called for the formation of a transitional administration with full executive authority. President bashar al-Assad’s government has ruled out any transfer of power. The irst round of talks ended last month with no irm agreements and both sides trading insults. The second round opened on Monday with preliminary
discussions aimed at thrashing out an agenda, but the two sides have not yet met face-to-face. Syria’s civil conflict has claimed more than 100,000 lives since 2011 and has driven 9.5 million people from their homes. During the first three-day ceaseire in Homs, hundreds of civilians were allowed to leave. The evacuations took place amid mortar ire and shooting, which both sides blamed on each other. - BBC
Giraffe death causes uproar CoPENAHGEN – Many Danes
have defended the killing of a healthy but inbred giraffe at Copenhagen’s zoo. The zoo said it euthanized Marius on Sunday because of a duty to avoid inbreeding. After an autopsy the giraffe was dismembered in front of an audience that included children, and fed to the zoo’s lions. More than 27,000 people had signed a “Save Marius” petition, appealing for a last-minute change of heart.
An American billionaire even offered to buy him and keep him in her beverly Hills garden. but in Denmark, a nation with many farms, an overwhelming majority of social media users felt the global outcry was a sign of hypocrisy and political correctness. A leading expert also decried the “Disneyication” of zoo animals, while a Danish academic said the issue exposed cultural differences. Mikkel Dahlqvist, a Pr con-
sultant, tweeted: “Marius had a good home at the zoo for a year and a half. He lived, and now the lions are also happy and full.” The zoo said on its website it had no choice other than to prevent the animal attaining adulthood since under European Association of Zoos and Aquaria rules, inbreeding between giraffes is to be avoided. While several overseas zoos offered to take the giraffe Copenhagen zoo authorities said that was not a viable option. - PNC

Not ticket sales. Ninety-two per cent for all the events have been sold, say the Sochi organisers. Security is tight. fans go through stringent checks with Islamist militants from the North Caucasus region having threatened Russia’s irst Winter Games. fear of terrorism is not the cause of the slow turn out to watch the action – but rather an old russian habit that dies hard. “We’ve had some problems with basically a russian mentality where russians like to come to the event not prior, but as close as possible to the end and that is why indeed we had an issue of a lot of spectators being late for the games,” explained Alexsandra kosterina, Sochi 2014 vice president of communications.

Vitamin C believed to boost chemotherapy lAWrENCE – High-dose vi-
tamin C can boost the cancerkilling effect of chemotherapy in the lab and mice, research suggests. Given by injection, it could potentially be a safe, effective and low-cost treatment for ovarian and other cancers, say uS scientists. reporting in Science Translational Medicine, they call for large-scale government clinical trials. Pharmaceutical companies are unlikely to run trials, as vitamins cannot be patented. Vitamin C has long been
used as an alternative therapy for cancer. In the 1970s, chemist linus Pauling reported that vitamin C given intravenously was effective in treating cancer. However, clinical trials of vitamin C given by mouth failed to replicate the effect, and research was abandoned. It is now known that the human body quickly excretes vitamin C when it is taken by mouth. However, scientists at the university of kansas say that when given by injection vita-
min C is absorbed into the body, and can kill cancer cells without harming normal ones. The researchers injected vitamin C into human ovarian cancer cells in the lab, into mice, and into patients with advanced ovarian cancer. They found ovarian cancer cells were sensitive to vitamin C treatment, but normal cells were unharmed. The treatment worked in tandem with standard chemotherapy drugs to slow tumour growth in mouse studies. Meanwhile, a small group of patients reported
fewer side-effects when given vitamin C alongside chemotherapy. Co-researcher Dr Jeanne Drisko said there was growing interest in the use of vitamin C by oncologists. “Patients are looking for safe and low-cost choices in their management of cancer,” she told bbC News. “Intravenous vitamin C has that potential based on our basic science research and early clinical data.” one potential hurdle is that pharmaceutical companies are unlikely to fund trials of intra-
venous vitamin C because there is no ability to patent natural products. “because vitamin C has no patent potential, its development will not be supported by pharmaceutical companies,” said lead researcher Qi Chen. “We believe that the time has arrived for research agencies to vigorously support thoughtful and meticulous clinical trials with intravenous vitamin C.” Dr kat Arney, science communications manager for Cancer research uk, said there was a long history of research into vi-
tamin C for treating cancer. “It’s dificult to tell with such a small trial – just 22 patients – whether high-dose vitamin C injections had any effect on survival, but it’s interesting that it seemed to reduce the side-effects of chemotherapy,” she said. “Any potential treatment for cancer needs to be thoroughly evaluated in large clinical trials to make sure it’s safe and effective, so further studies are needed before we know for sure what beneits high dose vitamin C may have for patients.” - BBC

Castaway heads for home ‘La Chanca’ departs the Marshalls, home to meal of meat and beans MAJuro – Castaway Jose Salva-

paciic BRIEFS PETERS DOUbTS FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS FIJI – Former foreign minister of New Zealand, Winston Peters, says there is not enough evidence of free and fair elections in Fiji to justify New Zealand’s sanctions being eased. The New Zealand government has eased sanctions, including travel bans, and last month allowed into New Zealand a former high ranking military oicial, Brigadier General Iowane Naivalurua, for talks with government departments on public sector reform. Peters says dialogue is to be encouraged but the New Zealand government’s stance is premature. “Leading up to the election, during it and after it, freedom, fairness and accountability have to be demonstrated otherwise what’s this election going to be about? I mean is it going to be a jack-up? Will all participants be given a fair go to put their policies in front of the Fijian constituency.”

to travel but on Monday Alvarenga was seen off at the Majuro airport with a hand shake from the Marshall Islands president, Christopher loeak. Oficials had imposed a media blackout around the exhausted survivor since he conducted a flurry of interviews soon after arriving in Majuro. However, the castaway was photographed boarding a plane on a light bound for Hawai’i on Monday night. from there, he will travel to El Salvador, most likely via the west coast of the united States, to be reunited with the family who had long thought he was dead. The 37-year-old has been in and out of hospital since arriving in Majuro, suffering from dehydration and a range of ailments linked to surviving on a diet of raw ish and bird lesh, with only turtle blood and his own urine to drink. Alvarenga appeared in good health when he irst arrived in Majuro but later complained of back pain, swollen joints and
‘We will make him a big meal, but we won’t feed him ish because he must be bored of eating that.’ lethargy. franklyn House, a retired uS doctor who met Alvarenga last week, said he had become increasingly withdrawn and appeared to be suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. Alvarenga lived as an illegal migrant in Mexico for more than a decade before the fateful shark-ishing trip that marked the start of his 12,500-kilometre Paciic Ocean odyssey in late 2012 and has expressed interest in moving back to his adopted homeland. but Manila-based Mexican diplomat, Christian Clay Mendez, who was in Majuro helping coordinate Alvarenga’s repatriation, has made it clear he has to
go to El Salvador irst then apply to enter Mexico legally. His parents, who have hailed his survival as “a divine miracle” live in western El Salvador, near the border with Guatemala, where they care for his 14-yearold daughter fatima. The girl has little recollection of her father and could not even picture his face until newspapers published photographs of the stocky fisherman with the bushy beard and unkempt hair who washed up on the other side of the Paciic. Alvarenga said he had suicidal thoughts during his trip but was sustained by dreams of reuniting with his family and eating tortilla and chicken. His mother has said she is eager to oblige when he returns home. “We will make him a big meal, but we won’t feed him ish because he must be bored of eating that,” she told AfP. “We will make him a big plate of meat, beans and cheese to help him recover.” friends of Alvarenga in Mex-
ico have dismissed the idea that Alvarenga may have eaten his fellow fisherman Ezekiel Cordoba, who died four months into the drift. local fisherman Juan Martinez said: ‘What happened to Ezekiel was very sad and also very painful for his family. “but I think he would have struggled to survive. He was not like la Chancha (Alvarenga). Very few people are that tough. “He also had a lot less experience. I think he may have even tried to commit suicide as being lost at sea that long can make you go mad. “It is so serious that when some isherman get lost at sea, they throw their knives away so they are not tempted to take their own lives. “Some people have said that la Chancha may have eaten Ezekeiel when he did die. but I don’t think he did eat him. “He loved eating raw ish and he would have much preferred that to human lesh.” - PNC/sources
SOLOMON ISLANDS – Transparency Solomon Islands says the government appears to have slashed the number of university scholarships available to students. The anti-corruption group says it understands only 99 students have been awarded scholarships this year, compared to at least 180 last year. Its chairperson, Ruth Liloqula, says the group has asked the government to explain the cuts but has not received any response. Liloqula says the government needs to invest more in education if the country is to prosper. “These scholarships are important because the development of this country is dependent on having an educated population.” Liloqula says she also fears the scholarship process has been corrupted and she is calling for more transparency.
‘TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE’ FOR TUNA INDUSTRY FIJI – A Fiji tuna ishing group says a reduction in ishing licenses will do nothing to regenerate the tuna population in the South Paciic. Fiji has cut the number of licenses for vessels in Fiji waters from 70 to 60 for the year. The Fiji Fish Marketing Group says the tuna industry is in crisis, with years of overishing in the south-west Paciic leading to hundreds of job losses, and a loss of millions of dollars each year. Its owner, Graham Southwick, says the cut back is “too little too late” and will not address the issue of overishing. “It wouldn’t matter if they put 120 licenses or they put 10. The industry is so shattered at the moment. A reduction of ive or 10 licenses will have absolutely no impact on the situation now, it’s far too late.” Southwick says Paciic nations need to band together to confront overishing by commercial interests in Asia and Europe.

The government says funding was also given to Tonga’s health ministry to purchase essential drugs as well as a water pump for the main hospital in Ha’apai.

Coalition spokesperson Ian Rintoul says the protests have continued and there is still no indication of when refugee assessments will begin. Rintoul says last week guards tried to disperse protesters, but later withdrew to be replaced by police. Advocates say the lack of processing and an future for asylum-seekers is fuelling the protests which have also attracted support from Manus Island locals opposed to any expansion of the detention centre.

Media visas seen as censorship yArEN – Any foreign media representative wanting to visit the Paciic island of Nauru will have to dig deep to make the trip. Nauru has oficially increased the cost of visas for media professionals from $200 to $8000. The fee applies to journalists wanting to travel to Nauru on a single-entry visa, valid for up to three months.
The money will not be refunded even if the application is unsuccessful. Critics say the 3900 per cent increase makes it prohibitively expensive for the media to report from the island where Australia currently detains around 1000 asylum seekers who arrive by boat. The visas apply to all media
regardless of what they wish to report on. Mathew batsiua, a member of Nauru’s opposition, says the policy is an attempt by the government to censor the media. but Minister for Home Affairs Charmaine Scotty says the move is aimed at raising government revenue. Scotty says if journalists can
make money from stories about Nauru then the government should also reap the rewards. Visitors travelling to the Paciic island nation for holidays can be granted visas on arrival which cost $100. The changes, irst announced last month, are detailed in the latest government gazette. - ABC
Mosquito-born diseases causing concern NouMEA – Health oficials are warning about the rise in mosquito-borne diseases in the Paciic region this year, including dengue, chikungunya and zika. over the past few months, there has been a resurgence of Type 3 dengue in several countries. In total, there were 11 dengue epidemics across the Paciic region last year. Dr yvan Souares, director of the Public Health division at the
Secretariat of the Paciic Community, told radio Australia’s Paciic Beat that dengue poses an increasing threat to public heath. “We’re now in the South Paciic in the rainy season – temperatures are high, precipitation is high and the current prospect in terms of meteorological forecast indicate increased risk of tropical depression,” he said. “So to speak, it’s going to be
a mosquito fair.” Dr Souares says there is an added danger because the virus is resurging after around 20 years in countries like fiji, kiribati and french Polynesia. “Hence, the whole population of the island under 20 years – plus a number of others who wouldn’t have been exposed like expats who have come back – are susceptible.” M e a n w h i l e , t h e Wo r l d Health organisation says it is
monitoring the situation in French Polynesia which is ighting outbreaks of zika virus and dengue fever. Dengue, spread by infected mosquitoes, is caused by four types of virus and is at its worst during warm and humid climatic seasons. Chikungunya and Zika are both closely related to dengue and causes debilitating joint pain, rashes and fever. - ABC

New concerns after MA-60 failure
APIA – A Chinese aircraft being used in Tonga and now being considered for service in Samoa has a history of crashes, including one in the last week. An aircraft nose wheel of an Xi’an MA-60 collapsed after landing at Chian’s ZhengzhouXinzheng Airport with 37 passengers and seven crew on board. No one was hurt in the incident which occurred last Thursday. Xi’an aircraft first came to public attention last August when the New Zealand government criticised Tongan authorities for accepting an MA-60 plane as a gift from China. At the time, New Zealand’s foreign affairs minister, Murray McCully, said Tonga did not have an “internationally respected certiication process”. New Zealand suspended aid support for Tonga tourism worth $16 million tala, as locals expressed concerns about an “Ashika of the skies”, referring to the 2009 ferry disaster.
Nuku’alofa oficials criticised New Zealand for only raising an alert about Tonga and not other countries operating MA60 services. last week’s crash landing at Zhengzhou came less than a week after the Samoa government signing a memorandum of understanding with AVIC-International Aero-Development Corporation, which owns the Xi’an Aircraft Industrial Corporation, the Samoa obsever reports. The purchase agreement covers two types of aircraft manufactured by Xi’an – the 58-seater MA-60 and smaller 19-seater y12 aircraft. research online shows there have been at least 16 accidents reported since 1989 involving the MA-60 and variant models. Samoa’s Aviation acting chief executive, Nanai Junior Sa’aga, is quoted by government newspaper Savali News as saying: “Paramount to the government, is the safety issue.”
He added: “The aircrafts will be rigorously tested to meet aviation safety certiication before any full commitment is made.” Though the y12 airplanes have, reportedly, been certiied by the uS federal Aviation Authority and can ly to neighbouring American Samoa, the MA-60 model is yet to receive similar certiication. Nanai pointed out that the Mou with the aviation company is not binding. “The Mou is to register Samoa’s interests to get new airplanes and it is not a commitment.” The latest accident to involve the MA-60 seems likely to raise fresh doubts about its safety, and its history of crashes and equipment failures. China News Service re ports that an investigation is now underway into why the MA-60 front landing gear collapsed after it touched down at Xinzheng International Airport in Zhengzhou, capital of central
China’s Henan Province. french China news service reported that the manufacturer has recalled hundreds of engineers who were on leave for the Chinese spring festival to inspect all MA-60 aircraft, especially their landing gear. As reported by Travel Daily Media, the Joy Air landing failure marks the latest in a string of incidents involving the MA-60, including several involving its landing gear. The media outlet describes the aircraft history as “troubled”. In January 2009, an MA-60 operated by Zest Airways in the Philippines veered sharply after landing at Caticlan Airport and crashed into a concrete barrier. In 2011 an MA-60 operated by bolivia’s TAM was forced to land without its front landing gear fully deployed, after the mechanism failed. The same airline suffered exactly the same problem with the same kind of aircraft in January
of 2012. In 2013 a Myanmar Airways light also swerved off the runway after touching down at kawthaung, in the far south of the country. This was one of three separate incidents involving the MA-60 in the space of two months in 2013, including two in Myanmar and one in Indonesia. The MA-60 was also temporarily suspended in Indonesia in 2011, after a Merpati flight crashed into the sea off the coast of West Papua, killing all 27 people onboard. Pilot error was blamed for the incident. but problems with the MA60 go back further than 2009, Samoa observer research shows. Historic records held by the united States federal Aviation Authority also raised concerns about propellers used on the MA-60. An Airworthiness Directive dated effective on february 14, 2002, was issued after reports of propeller problems.
Aviation authorities in China first certified the MA-60 in 2000. The MA-60 is a variant of the Xian yunshuji y-7, which itself is based on the russian Antonov An-24, and built under license to China. overall, a search of the Aviation Safety Database shows 16 incidents dating back to 1989 involving this general aircraft type. The Antonov An24 shows up in 189 reported incidents on the database, dating back to 1962. Aviation experts caution that there are too many complex factors such as pilot error, weather and fuel quality involved with flight to rank aircraft and airlines on airworthiness and other safety standards. There are about 80 MA-60s operating in the world in more than 20 countries, with airlines in Asia, Africa and latin America as well as Tonga. - Samoa Observer
So, who did kill Hans Dalton then? APIA – last week, in a decision that shocked the police and public, Samoa’s Supreme Court, Justice lesatele rapi Va’ai overturned a court room guilty verdict by assessors. The case in question was the death in a Tafaigata Prison cell of a psychiatric patient, Hans Dalton, who was visiting from
New Zealand. Justice lesatele cited Section 100 Criminal Procedure Act which empowers him to reverse a decision and he has provided his reasoning in a long and detailed report which was published in the Samoa observer. His reasoning ends with the statement: “Given the evidence
I have outlined I am the opinion that the prosecution has not proven beyond reasonable doubt that it was the accused who placed the deceased upside down in the 44-gallon drum.” The story was already controversial with the police first alleging Dalton had committed suicide and then changing their
MP says ‘it is chaos’ yArEN – A Nauru opposition
MP says New Zealand MPs have a right to speak about Nauru’s political and judiciala issues because a lot of New Zealand aid money is spent on Nauru. on friday, the Green Party MP, Jan logie said in a statement that Nauru was “descending into a state of chaos” and ignoring the rule of law as part of efforts to shut down criticism of the camps. The Nauru government responded by calling the comments a display of international bullying, arrogance and racism and demanded an open apology. “Nauru is not in “chaos”, there are no constitutional issues and the rule of law is operating and respected,” a governmet statement said. “Those making claims to the contrary are fuelled by self-interest, are pushing their own agendas and should not be
taken seriously. “Ms logie and her party are promoting a culture of international bullying, arrogance and racism by attempting to interfere in the sovereign right of Nauru to determine who we appoint to key roles in our country. “The democratically elected government is calmly going about the business of governing in a manner that is best for the people of Nauru. “We are a reformist government with a mandate to put an end to the corruption and cronyism that has been allowed to lourish in our country for too long. “We expect an open apology to the Government and people of Nauru by the New Zealand Green Party for spreading lies about our nation,” the statement concluded. but Nauru opposition MP Matthew batsiua says Nauru
is very much in a state of chaos with the government interfering in a justice system that’s supposed to be independent of the state. “It just goes back to the core problem and that is the government of Nauru at this stage not recognising and respecting the rule of law by interfering in the justice system. “I can understand how people from New Zealand can be aggrieved because there’s been a substantial amount of New Zealand aid brought in to support and improve our justice sector.” NZ Greens logie says she won’t be apologising for her comments. “I am never going to apologise for raising human rights issues, but if there are other kinds of things in our statement that offended the Nauruan government then I’m happy to talk to them about that.” - RNZI
Fishermen forced to swim JAkArTA – five Indonesian fishermen remained missing on Sunday after military oficers in neighbouring Papua New Guinea allegedly told them to jump off their boat before setting it on ire. The Jakarta Globe reports 10 fishermen from the Papua district of Merauke were on board a ishing boat searching for sea cucumbers, near the border between Indonesia and PNG, on Thursday, when they
were accused of breaching the border. Dozens of P NG military soldiers stopped the boat, and brought the men on board the military ship, before setting the boat on ire. The Papua Police spokesman, Senior Commander Pujo Sulistyo, says the ishermen were then told to jump into waters approximately ive kilometres away from the coast. He says ive were able to reach
the shore but the whereabouts of the other ive are unknown. on Sunday, a joint team from the Indonesian Navy, the National Search and rescue Agency and local volunteers were searching for the five missing ishermen. The commander of the Indonesian Navy’s Merauke office, brigadier General buyung lalana, says the Navy is investigating the matter. - RNZI
story to that of murder by another inmate. There were also allegations that the defendant was forced by police into making an earlier confession to murder which he later retracted. The high profile court case was played out while Samoa awaits a report from a commission of inquiry investigating numerous allegations about police and prisoners at Tafaigata Prison. “It has been no secret that for years, the conditions and procedures at Tafaigata have been sub standard,” writes Marj Moore in an editorial in the Samoa observer. The inquiry stems from a 2011 report from the Samoan umbrella for Non-Governmental organisations (SuNGo, which stated: “Currently, the living conditions at the Tafaigata Prison are very poor. “Many facilities are extremely outdated; provisions for food, water and basic sanitation are inadequate; and large groups of prisoners are conined together in small and harsh cells. “Some inmates are employed without remuneration outside prisons, including in a private capacity for government officials. In addition, there are reports of physical and sexual abuse.”
Moore’s editorial says: “The fact is that since the 2011 submissions and recommendations almost three years ago, nothing has changed for the better. And with the next report due in a little over a year’s time in 2015, it is obvious that this is not a priority for the government. “The emphasis of spiritual welfare has taken precedence over basic human rights with a church being built by the prisoners themselves while the conditions have remained the same or worsened. “The incidents of prisoners escaping have escalated, conditions in the holding cells are still disgusting and overcrowded, regular health checks are a farce, and counselling services outside religion are non-existent. “The practice of inmates undertaking work for government oficials continues unabated and with the exception of prisoners working in the kitchen preparing meals and some desultory work in the plantation, vocational training is a joke,” the Samoa oberver comments. “So what is the point of these meticulously investigated reports being written when there is no intention to act on them? “Is it really just a case of ‘ticking the expected boxes’ as one local explained so that it looks as though something is being
done and that issues are being addressed? “While these and other alleged practices by police and prisoners will no doubt be revealed in the comprehensive report expected from the commission of inquiry, it is tragic that there has been such a lack of action by the ministry and government. Did this contribute to the death of Hans Dalton? “As this editorial was being written, Hans Dalton’s mother, Christine barlow, rang the newsroom from New Zealand to say that she felt the ‘true story’ about what her son was really like and the story behind his death is not being told. “We explained that the news media can only report what is said in court, nothing from outside the court – at least not while the case is still on. “Now that it’s over, however, there are many questions we can, and will, ask. Many of the answers however may have to await another court case – the civil claim against the government that Christine barlow says has already been iled. “She says that she and her lawyer have asked for legal discovery of all internal documents held by authorities but said that, in the year since Dalton was killed, none have been handed over.” - Samoa Observer
‘Tunanomics’ on the agenda NouMEA – Journalists from
around the Pacific are gathering in Noumea, this week. The topic of the meeting is “tunanomics.” Tunanomics is a term used to explain the economic dimensions of developing and managing tuna isheries in the region. Getting journalists interested in reporting on tuna fisheries is the goal behind the regional media and tuna reporting workshop called Tunanomics Media Initiative. It hopes to support business
reporting on tuna isheries. The workshop is part of the Paciic Media Summit also being held in Noumea at the same time, under the theme – Constructive Engagement for a Strong and responsible Media. The workshop is organised by the Paciic Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (ffA) and funded by the European union’s DEVfISH II project led by ffA and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) in partnership with the Pacific Islands News Association (PINA).
Participants from about 10 Pacific island nations will learn more about accessing resources developed by and for media workers to help grow the national and regional conversation on tuna isheries and development. The aim is to generate quality reporting of tuna fisheries by mainstream media and to form effective information networking relationships between national fisheries and media stakeholders. - Samoa Observer

Elections behind soccer posturing With reference to the Cook Islands Herald’s article on 29/1/2014 concerning the banning of football Cook Islands members, I can’t remember when that newspaper previously showed the slightest interest in the affairs of football in this country. It intrigued me also how Cook Islands Herald got access to the oceania football Confederation decision before CIFA had notiied it to Jamieson, baudinet and robertson. My challenge to the Herald is that if it has a genuine interest in the betterment of CI football, is to investigate and feature the many serious issues and concerns raised by the football community over a lengthy period which have been arrogantly ignored by the current CIfA administration. This would also provide some much needed balance for their
readers. unfortunately the paper appears more intent upon taking cheap shots at CI News and its deputy editor Matariki Wilson, who provide a high quality service to our community, in a very professional manner. They have no hidden agendas and bring truth and honest opinion to their readers. I think the public would be surprised how much fIfA funding passes through CIfA’s accounts to administer the game in this country. Any sporting code demands honesty, integrity, transparency, accountability and professionalism of the highest order. We clearly haven't been getting value for money because, from a peak in year 2000, we have descended to the very bottom of world football rankings. This is unacceptable and those at the helm have to be
Master plan mockery Dear Editor, Volume 3 of The Cook Islands: final report for Preparing the Infrastructure Development Project on pages 28 & 29 makes reference to a 70 day period on rarotonga without rainfall in 1992. based on the 200 litre per person per day calculations on which Te Mato Vai relies, each household on rarotonga would need a storage tank holding between 25,000 and 30,000 litres
of water to get through such a drought. And that igure is assuming that the household can still get half its water needs from the public supply. So why, pray tell, is putting 5000 litre water tanks at homes part of Te Mato Vai's master plan? Is there actually someone besides some primary school students making up this plan? Sanity drought (Name and address supplied)
held accountable. How can the CI football community hold their heads high, particularly amongst our island neighbours? Despite what some want readers to believe, there is a high level of discontent within local football clubs and the consensus is for change. Club members have been attending football Cook Islands meetings to access information, discuss issues and share/develop ideas that cannot be progressed through CIfA. So what's behind the sudden upsurge in personal politics? Well, in a few weeks CI fA is due to hold its four yearly election of oficers and it is my irm belief that this is all about trying to see off' any opposition, by whatever means available. The timing of the ofC banning decision has certainly raised eyebrows. following on from its recent banning action against three of our own, we now have to suffer more ofC “playground bullying”' with threats of defamation action against the little people who dare express a dissenting view or challenge them. It’s a bit rich coming from the ofC General Secretary who has, himself, been convicted for inappropriately speaking out publicly. As mentioned recently in this newspaper, the ofC investigator of the CIfA claims against Jamieson, baudinet
& robertson was one Dr Muhammad Shamsud-Dean Sahu khan, a disbarred lawyer who fled from fiji after stealing clients' funds from his trust account. He is a former long term executive member of ofC & as such a colleague of CIfA President lee Harmon. ofC legal Advisor Ms Shabina Sahu khan is a direct relative & she had a hands on involvement in progressing the ofC action against Jamieson, baudinet & robertson. oh what a tangled web, which does not paint a healthy picture. I don't accept that challenging the “old boys’ network” has anything to do with bringing the game into disrepute. This writer is not a member of football Cook Islands, although I support their objectives as a change agent. I'm a long term observer of CI football; I believe that administration of the game has lost its way and I have dire concerns for its future. My advice to ofC is drop the arrogance which is unhelpful if conciliation is a desired outcome, stop shooting the messengers, get off your backsides and find out firsthand what is really going on in CIfA HQ and what isn't but should be. Just don't waste the locals’ time by sending khan back. “out with the old, in with the new” (Name and address supplied)
Create a tax haven for pensioners Dear Editor, After reading the pros and cons about the “Grey Power” back tax on their pensions, there seems to be two arguments about this topic. Mr Wilkie rassmussen and Mr John Scott are of the opinion that the government is wrong in its interpretation of the “Pensioners tax”. Now, if this is true, all Mama Nancy Simiona has to do is ind a good lawyer like Trevor Clarke and sue those involved. It is frightening to know that government can take your money out of your bank accounts anytime they want. Hey! They say that “Cologate Saga” owes the government, $18 to $20 million, How come there are no bank account raids. The “tangata rikiriki” always gets hit, when the chips are down for
the government. My thoughts on the matter – pass a new act – exempt pensioners from paying tax. They brought their hardearned living allowances back into the country to help grow the economy. let them enjoy their old age in our paradise. I am sure that Papa Arapati and Papa Tom Davis and the majority of our people would have it this way. This is why we as a country became “internal self government”. We make laws to beneit and look after the 10,000 plus tourists at our cost, period. food for thought, Why are the Minister of the Crown, Prime Minister, Secretariat and others exempted by thousands of their salaries? Is it fair? Come on kotou, get real. Enua bishop
How about some interest on seized funds? Dear Editor, The Cook Islands Party Government was swift to raid people’s back accounts but was reluctant to reimburse after announcing that it will. It’s now 45 days from(17/12/2013) since $30,000 was illegally taken out of Grey Power members’ bank accounts and 28 days (10/1/2014) since the fencemending announcement by the Prime Minister and his cohorts that all money will be reimbursed. on radio, television and the newspaper headlined “Pensioners to be reimbursed money” the Prime Minister did not mention any conditions to the reimbursement proceedings. on february 3, one of the bank raid victims received not a letter of an apology one would expect from raider Haigh but one which, in part, reads: “recently the Government has advised that it is willing to reimburse the superannuitants if they promise to enter into a payment arrangement to pay their tax owing”! How could this be? Did the Prime Minister say one thing to the people and another to richard Neves or did he refuse to let go of his clutch on the $30,000? Isn’t it ironic with no money in sight or even the smell of it, Neves and Haigh have already calculated – according to the letter – how much they will share off for treasuring and how
little it will end up in the hands of the deprived mamas and papas while at the same time holding them to ransom to sign an agreement first. Is this really happening in paradise? Why are these 70 and 80-year-olds being put through this ordeal? Why not just give all the money back? What about the lost interest on the $30,000 taken out of circulation with the penalties incurred on investment accounts? Will Neves and Haigh have the guts to calculate them and make their indings public and will these be added to individuals’ reimbursement accordingly? or is it all for treasury? Thank heavens these bank raids will not happen again. Thank you maata George Pitt and your trouble-shooting team at the bTIb for reining in Westpac and bringing some sense of peace of mind to the mamas and papas of Grey Power. our one voice will continue to be heard and we have already made our choice. Grey Power one voice – one choice. Dennis Tunui, Turangi

Kiwi students work with Atiu youth SIX oCCuPATIoNAl therapy
students from New Zealand landed on Atiu yesterday, where they will be working with young people in the community. The young women are all in their final year of study at otago Polytechnic and will be spending six weeks on the outer island, implementing projects that were previously selected by the Atiu community. The aim is to kick-start the projects and work with locals so that the programmes can continue after the students return to New Zealand.
The students arrived in rarotonga on Saturday night, and left for Atiu yesterday morning. As part of the practical component of their studies, they will be working in pairs to implement three projects, as well as other individual projects that they will work on. one project will see lindsey Coup and Amber Ward working with teenagers aged 13-18 years, teaching them about nutrition and showing them how to cook healthy meals. kate Charlesworth and Tori bensemann will be working with high school students to
establish learning dificulties, and working with the teacher aides on the island. lucy Emery and Abby roberts will be assessing pre-school children to identify any learning dificulties. “We’re really emphasising sustainability … we want the
beer is taking the Democratic Party’s latest policy on tax to the people as part of his by-election campaign. The Demo party hopeful said he has been handing out informative papers on the tax policy while doing the rounds in the constituency. The eight-point policy covers a range of initiatives, from tax relief to the Pa Enua to undoing some of the changes recently introduced as part of the ruling government’s tax review.
Number one on the Demo list is a provision that requires government to obtain a High Court order before withdrawing funds from an individual’s bank account – an obvious reaction to the recent raids by the treasurer on the accounts of seniors collecting the NZ Pension. “A lot of people are concerned about the way pensions are being treated, especially before Christmas,” he said. The list also says there will be “No Demo support for a 15 per cent VAT” – a rebuke of the
Te Mato Vai start date pushed back Work on replacement ring mains – a major component of the $60 million Te Mato Vai water infrastructure project – has been pushed back. Oficials initially expected the irst physical signs of work on the ring mains to begin on february 21, but an outstanding Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) application on the project’s major component lodged in January doesn’t close until later this month. under Section 36 (5)(C) of the Environment Act, an allocation of 30 days must be given from the initial date of public notice of the EIA to allow comment from residents. The latest TMV release says physical work on replacing the ring mains will not start until the process is completed, which will be february 28 at the earliest. “The new start date will be
determined once the “green” light is given following the close of EIA public process,” wrote Te Mato Vai’s communications advisor Jaewynn Mckay in an email. The rebuild of the ring mains which reticulates water around the island will be undertaken by the Chinese Civil Engineering and Construction Company (CCECC) - estimated to cost $23.1 million and inanced by a concessional loan from China. As part of an agreement with the government, CCECC will be supplying 40 of its own employees, along with the assistance of local workers and businesses. Work began late last month on accommodation facilities for CCECC’s Chinese workers, which will be located at the former kia orana foods site in Avarua. In addition to the construction start date, an oficial ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for the

The students will be working closely with Atiu’s disability coordinator Jude Isaia to deliver a variety of projects in the community. The six young women will be staying at kopeka lodges, owned by Eddie Drollet. - Briar Douglas

morning of february 20. yesterday, Manager Peter Tierney with the Ministry of finance and Economic Management’s Development Coordination Division said officials had earlier discussed the prospect of having the ceremony coincide with a high-proile international donors meeting set to begin today. Expected to be in attendance at the event were New Zealand foreign Minister Murray McCully and Chinese Ambassador to the Cook Islands Wang lutong, however, officials were notified last year that the ambassador’s schedule conlicted with the plans and he could not attend the donors meeting, he said. Details remain to be worked out for the february 20 ribboncutting ceremony, said TMV communications advisor Jaewyn Mckay. - Emmanuel Samoglou
current government’s policy and implementation of the tax review changes, which also included decreases in payroll income taxes. beer said there has been a lot of “negative” reaction towards the value-added tax (VAT) increase and the back taxes being asked from pensioners. “Imagine one thousand Grey Power members from NZ feeling safe that their bank accounts won’t be raided, and that the law is on their side,” reads Demo campaign literature. “How about spending two hours in Parliament to amend the legislation to potentially generate over $20 million in extra spend in the country. Now do the math on the VAT revenue from this group alone. ” Another pillar of the tax policy is an offer of amnesty on penalties and interest charged to persons or businesses with outstanding tax bills.
“There are some taxes that just won’t be paid,” said beer. “As a result of this, we’ll end up with businesses collapsing and lost opportunities for employment.” “Those businesses would just give up.” beer says some of the back taxes owed to government go back to 1999, and offering amnesty is about giving people a second chance. He has roughly eight different issues relevant to the community and the country that he’s discussing with Murienua constituents. But tax deinitely appears to be the hot-button issue, he said. “I thought that I would be taking a major leap of faith by giving out that stuff,” said beer. “The tax policy got a lot of support and has also stirred a lot of debate.” “It’s about encouraging growth.” - Emmanuel Samoglou

Catalogue auction is ‘irst of its kind’ ArT CollECTorS and irst time art buyers have an amazing opportunity to add to tvheir collection with the introduction of the irst-ever catalogue auction by local bCA Gallery in Taputapuatea. The works on offer represent a cross section of exhibitions and artists that have worked with bCA Gallery over the past decade. “They embody milestones and achievements for both the gallery and artist,” says bCA Gallery director ben bergman. “When I look at these works, I am reminded of the fantastic group show Tatou (2002), a remarkable collection of Cook Islands artists and works that not only fostered an incredible spirit of co-operation and unity within our small art community but delivered a compelling statement of what was to come.
I derive a similar impression from this auction catalogue.” bergman says that collectively the works of art not only represent where the gallery has come from but contain a promise as to how much further it can go. “Along the way we have had tremendous support from the public and sponsors, in particular Air New Zealand who has been with us from the start. Their unwavering support has given rise to much international exposure to the Cook Islands and its emergent contemporary art statements. our profound thanks go also to Cook Islands Printing Services, Palm Grove, Westpac bank, Café Salsa, The Computer Man and ora fiduciary. Their support transcends traditional sponsorship; it is patronage.” bergman says that it is only
because of this assistance that bCA can offer the programme that it does including residencies, international exhibitions and an annual roster of domestic exhibitions. In the absence of any public funding, proceeds from this auction will go directly to further underwrite an expanding bCA programme. “Art is an enormous cultural asset to any community,” says bergman. “It documents human evolution and transition, a virtual diary of the progress of mankind. To witness, it is an emotional and intellectual journey like no other. It stirs the blood, it makes you think. It is a virtual snapshot of values and traditions at any given moment. It represents who we are, where we have come from and where we are going. It is constantly

Judge throws out appeals by Makea Nui Ariki claimants
Continued from page 1 Meremaraea Macquarie, Inanui love and Nooroa Matua were at that time invested with the Makea Nui Ariki title and took their dispute to the High Court; however none of them were accepted. Since that time, the question of who has the right to hold the title has been the subject of two High Court decisions – a decision by Dillon and McHugh JJ in 1995 and a decision by Smith J in 1999, however, no one has yet succeeded to the title. The Makea Nui title has been the longest running saga of title disputes stretching back to the early part of last century, with a number of people being invested and laying claim to the title. In the current case there were a number of objections to each application whose cases were also heard by Justice Isaac. The Aroranga Mana o Te Au
o Tonga sought to have the title vested in them as caretakers as a step to assist in resolving the Makea Nui title dispute and bring the mana back to Ngati Makea. In his decision – Justice Wilson stated that stare decisis, or the doctrine of precedent, holds that a court must follow earlier decisions when the same points arise again in litigation, unless they are inconsistent with a higher court’s decision or are wrong in law. Justice Wilson examined all past decisions in relation to the custom governing appointment to the ofice of Makea Nui Ariki since Chief Judge Ayson (in his 1923 decision re rangi Makea title) found primogeniture to be the applicable custom in succession to the Makea Nuia Title. The primogeniture rule was also applied by Smith J in 1999 in Makea Nuia Ariki (succes-

sion to Makea Nui Teremoana Ariki). “Thus it is clear that since 1923, the courts have regarded eligibility for appointment to the Makea Nui Ariki title as being governed by the custom of primogeniture. The Supreme Court of New Zealand on appeal in 1941, the Native Appellate Court in 1948, and all subsequent decisions of the land Court on the issue of the custom applicable to determining any person’s right to hold ofice as an Ariki have also held that it is the primogeniture rule. There is no question that a court is bound by the decision of a superior court where the holding is applicable. Also there have been no indings of any court which have found these decisions to be wrong in law,” states Justice Isaac in his decision document. “Therefore the doctrine of stare decisions means that this

Court is bound to apply the binding precedent on the question of applicable custom in determining a person’s right to hold ofice as an Ariki pursuant to s409(f) of the Cook Islands Act 1915; the primogeniture rule is the applicable custom. Any other inding would be in breach of the doctrine of precedent and outside the powers of this court.” In his decision Justice Isaac states that the application of the promgeniture rule eliminates all the current applicants from the succeeding to the ofice of Makea Nui Ariki. “Ellena Tavioni is not the eldest of the eldest and therefore she is not eligible for appointment under the primogeniture rule. She is also not a member of the senior line.” “Stanley Hunt does not meet the requirements of the primogeniture rule either. He is not a member of the senior line and, further, his family are not currently recognised as part of the kopu Ariki.” “When the Court dismissed the three applications in 1995, including Mere MacQuarie’s, it stated a set of questions that must be addressed in appointing a successor to the ofice of
Makea Nui Ariki, and set out its views on a number of matters requiring consideration by the family before they took further action in appointing a successor. There is no evidence that the family have considered or reached any kind of consensus on the matters raised by the Court. Mere MacQuarie was not eligible to hold the ofice at that time, and there is no evidence that circumstances have changed in such a way as to mean that she now meets the requirements for eligibility. Her application must therefore fail on the same basis as it did then.” Justice Isaac states that it is not within the Court’s power to appoint an Ariki, rather it is the Court’s function in these proceedings to give guidance and direction on these matters. “While it may seem little help to state simply that all four applications fail in this instance and a new election must be held, no other inding is possible. None of the current applicants meet the requirements of the primogeniture rule. Ngati Makea needs to elect a candidate who does meet the requirements or come to an
agreement as to an exception to the application of that rule in this instance. According to all the evidence and submissions produced to the Court, the Takau line is the senior line. Although the Takau line has yet to make an application, Eruera Nia and Peter lowry have indicated that it is the intention of that line to seek election of an eligible candidate. If there can be an agreement within that family as to an appropriate candidate in accordance with custom, then the deadlock that has existed for over 19 years can be broken and the mana of Ngati Makea restored. It is therefore recommended that a candidate from the Takau line who has the support of the family pursue election, noting carefully the requirements for eligibility and the process that must be followed for legitimate succession to the title. If no agreement can be reached within the Takau line and the kopu Ariki can all agree to an appropriate candidate from the senior line then that person may fulfil the requirements of Maori custom.” - Matariki Wilson

Continued from page 1 brown said few Cook Islanders would be in a position to purchase shares of the company should Government make them available. “There are two ways to nationalise a company – buy it out … or legislate. He (rasmussen) wasn’t clear what he wanted to do, but if the Government was to buy out Telecom New Zealand, you’re asking taxpayers to pay for it,” he said. “If Cook Islanders do buy into it, it’ll be wealthy Cook Island-
ers – and if Cook Islanders do buy it, they’ll want a return on their investment.” brown said the nature of the telecommunications industry would make it dificult for Government to provide this return, and Government should “act as a regulator” rather than purchase a majority share. “It’s a privately owned company right now. The history of this government or any government operating an industry like that is not good. let’s leave it to the professionals to do their
job.” brown met with an executive from Digicel on friday, but said the company is still looking into the possibility of purchasing Telecom Cook Islands. “They just came in to see me about an update. There are still a couple of things they need to iron out.” He said he expects to hear from Digicel once details are inalised. “Hopefully it’ll be soon so they can put us out of our suspense.” - BD

Goling success in Tauranga SuCCESS on the golf course in Tauranga recently would have meant confident tee-offs for a number of golfers in Saturday’s Hugh Henry Memorial Tournament. A team of 19 from the rarotonga Golf Club returned home recently after winning top honours, prizes and bragging rights from a recent tour to New Zealand. The touring team took part in the five Eves Classic Course held over five days on five
courses with the most successful players in the team being Daniel Webb who took out the men’s division one tournament with 194 stableford points and under-16 golfer Jordain Manuela who won the men’s division two tournament with a 197 stableford score. Donnie Willis also returned a great score to place fourth overall in the women’s division while Mena Howard placed 18th overall. Adding to the individual suc-
cess the touring team then won the inaugural South Paciic Golf Challenge – a new challenge with the Coromandel kiwis club. The new shield takes pride of place at the Nikao club rooms and has set the bar for the next touring team preparing to return to the five Eves Classic Course which members of the rarotonga Golf Club have been attending for the past six years. - Matariki Wilson
