Beautifully written and an excellent read - thank you.
From Jose Kurian on University drinking: student views
Congratulation Lorelle. Wonderful achievement.
From Lorelle Yakam on University drinking: student views
It is disappointing, but I would like to highlight that not all students do this. Some drink for relaxation purposes, which I will elaborate on in my second article. But yes, the way some students drink is concerning, and I hope studies like this will shed some light on the current drinking trends in universities, and get universities to address it appropriately. Thanks for the comment!
From Wallis on University drinking: student views
It is so disappointing to ready this because (1) The way these students start their lives is not promising. They will one day be important decision makers of the country and as such being a responsible drinker would make sense (at least limit the amounts and time taken as young adults). (2) As a parent, very disappointing as we parents work very hard to make sure they have a future and yet they waste those hard earned money on rubbish. I am looking forward to seeing a bit of what they want in life after going through University.
From Alice John on Like winning the lotto: the SWP in good times and bad
Yes all about going out there is like winning a lottery!!! We are extremely desperate of coming over to work to earn and increase our standard of living.
From Manuel on Reserved seats in PNG: lessons learnt
Firstly, we should all know and agree that our constitution is not gender biased. Both men and women have the equal right to be nominated and run for elections. We are making it seem as if our constitution is biased to men only, NO!!!
Secondly and most importantly, the voters will decide who they want as their representative in the parliament. If they want a woman as their rep, they'll vote for her, or otherwise for man.
There is no need for such "reserved seat" policy for women. We all have the equal right and equal opportunity to run for election if we choose, it is ultimately the voters who have the power to decide.
Our constitution provides equal opportunity and equal participation for both genders to run for election.
Our government needs to stop such notion and focus on delivering services to the people.
From Vijay Naidu on Ending Fiji’s nightmare
Thanks Max.
Good to hear from you.
Khaiyum and Bainimarama refuse to listen to anyone else.
We're heading to the worsening of the disaster
From Lbee on Fishing for success: lessons in Pacific regionalism
Enjoyed reading this book by Dr. Transform Aqorau. Highly recommended!
From Albert Schram on PNG’s and Fiji’s distinct COVID-19 crises
It is clear that the situation among different countries in "The Pacific" can be very different. The porous border of PNG with Indonesia means an isolation strategy can not work for long. Moreover, the export and higher education sectors still depend on foreign knowledge workers, which are now in short supply. Tough times ahead.
