    FORTY- EIGHTH SESSION Hansard Report 48th Session Ninth Meeting Volume 10 THURSDAY 15 FEBRUARY 2018 OPENING PRAYER MADAM SPEAKER took the Chair at 1.00 p.m MADAM SPEAKER: Honourable Members please be seated. (First part of the recording missing, unable to report.) QUESTION TIME HON. M. BROWN: The Honourable Member and his figures just again demonstrate why the Opposition should not be in charge of the Government purses. The annual allocation for the shipping subsidy is $500,000 Madam Speaker and not $1.5million. I hope the Honourable Member will take those facts to heart and stop exaggerating as they normally do. In response to part of his question Madam Speaker, I have never been approached by the Tiare Taporo and I believe they are not eligible for any subsidy and I believe the subsidy is underway and that the other two shipping companies are eligible to take advantage of that subsidy that is now in place. MADAM SPEAKER: Thank you and I see the Honourable Prime Minister. HON. H. PUNA: Thank you Madam Speaker. Unfortunately I was just out of the House to attend to an urgent business when the question was asked about our new Immigration Policy. I appreciate the question Madam Speaker. I think it is a very important question particularly when immigration has been on the front page of our daily newspaper over the last couple of days. I am please to advise this Honourable House that the new policy was endorsed and approved by Cabinet last year and it is now with the Ministry of Immigration to look at upgrading our legislation in order to tie it very closely with our new policy.

    Gonna Drink, Get Drunk a History and Ethnography of Alcohol in Rarotonga, Cook Islands

    Gonna Drink, Get Drunk A History and Ethnography of Alcohol in Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Vaughn Koops Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2002 Key Centre for Women’s Health in Society Department of Public Health The University of Melbourne DECLARATION This is to certify that (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is less than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices. …………………………………………………………………………. ii ABSTRACT This thesis describes the place of alcohol in the lives of people from Rarotonga, Cook Islands. It incorporates historical and ethnographic analyses to provide the broad context of drinking by people aged from their teens to late thirties. The historical component of this study describes specific accounts of alcohol consumption, and situates these with regard to changes that occurred in Rarotonga from the early 19th century. Prior to contact with Papa’a (Europeans), people of Rarotonga neither produced nor consumed alcoholic beverages. Thus, the use of alcohol was a phenomenon intimately bound up with global exploration, proselytisation and trade. I trace historical changes in the distribution of power, resources, religious practice, and social discourse, and show how alcohol practice, distribution, and trade was linked to these changes from missionary contact onward. This history informs the ethnography of contemporary drinking practices. Individual and group practices and understandings of alcohol are described. I also describe the contribution of state policy, commercial interests, government institutions, and religious organisations to the place of alcohol in Rarotonga.

    PRESS RELEASE 30 March 2020 SAMOA SET to HOST the NEXT

    PRESS RELEASE 30 March 2020 SAMOA SET TO HOST THE NEXT MISS PACIFIC ISLANDS PAGEANT. In the light of the current pandemic, Samoa would like to help travellers to keep dreaming about their future travel plans, looking forward to post-COVID-19. The annual Miss Pacific Islands pageant will be hosted in Samoa this November, following the win of Miss Samoa 2019, Fonoifafo Nancy McFarland-Seumanu. Miss Samoa and Miss Pacific Islands pageants have been a part of Samoa’s vibrant culture and traditions for over 30 years. Set to take place in Apia in September 2020, Miss Samoa is dedicated to supporting opportunities for young Samoan women. Since 1986, The Treasured Islands of the South Pacific has selected a lucky winner through the pageant, whose duty becomes to represent and promote Samoa both regionally and internationally. The winner also works as a national ambassador for the islands during her year of reign. The winner of Miss Samoa goes on to compete at the Miss Pacific Islands pageant, which serves as a platform to promote the entire Pacific Islands region. Established by the government of Samoa in 1987, the event recognises the attributes, intelligence, and talents of Pacific Islands' women including their contributions to regional affairs. Miss Pacific Islands will take place in Apia this November, following Samoa’s win during the 2019 pageant held in Papua New Guinea last year. Each year, representatives from up to 12 Pacific Islands compete for the crown. Last year’s contestants included Miss Samoa, Miss American Samoa, Miss Cook Islands, Miss Fiji, Miss Marshall Islands, Miss Nauru, Miss Papua New Guinea, Miss Solomon Islands, Miss Tahiti, Miss Tonga, Miss Tuvalu, and Miss Wallis & Futuna.
