I'm baffled at the
I'm baffled at the aforementioned of the House vs the gov't. Isn't both from the same cloth? As in one and the same? Why the game of we say they say when you, the House is the gov't as well! You sit there and make the laws as in creating and passing bills making you part of the gov't! It would simplify things for us simple folks when you stop separating the two. As for the paid labourers without contract, your sin of omission is now biting you in the purse strings as now the labourers are seeking gov't assistance, which you're not liable to provide since there was no contracts. But of course the 'Friendly Island' name will save the day, as you continue to perpetuate that 20 yr old mistake. Start by putting them under contracts, that improvisation is another term for nepotism! Ko e anga ia e sio atu mei he tu'a laine. - Kafo'atu Ma'asi
