  • Budget Statement in Support of the Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure 2006-2007. Presented By
    BUDGET STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE ESTIMATES OF REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE 2006/07 Presented by The Hon. Paula A. Cox, J.P., M.P. Minister of Finance To His Honour the Speaker and Members of the Honourable House of Assembly Mr. Speaker, Our objective is to build a strong economy and a fair society where there is opportunity and security for all. Our goal is to make the economy work for the people of Bermuda – consumers and business alike in a way that operates fairly and that benefits our young people and seniors. The National Budget 2006/07 ushers in a new wave – an ‘Age of Empowerment’, as we look to a better future. In every single year between 1998 and 2005, the Progressive Labour Party Government has framed economic and financial policies that have delivered positive GDP growth to the Bermuda economy for the benefit of Bermudians and residents alike. While we do not have final data for 2005, the signals from strategic sectors of the economy indicate a seventh successive year of economic growth in 2005. The National Budget 2006/07 builds upon the firm economic foundation that has been developed and fortified by successive Progressive Labour Party administrations. It will provide resources for programmes and initiatives that seek the following key objectives: 1. Strengthening social cohesion in our community; 2. Developing and training our Bermuda’s youth; 3. Improving the quality of life of our senior citizens; 4. Putting good quality homes within the economic reach of more Bermudian families; and 5. Stabilising, rejuvenating and encouraging business activity in all economic sectors.

Racism, Oligarchy and Contentious Politics in Bermuda by Andrea S. Dean A research paper accepted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Sociology The University of Western Ontario London, Ontario, Canada Supervisor: Dr. Anton Allahar 2017 ABSTRACT In 1959, ‘blacks’ in Bermuda boycotted the island’s movie theatres and held nightly protests over segregated seating practices. By all accounts the 1959 Theatre Boycott was one of the most significant episodes of contentious politics in contemporary Bermuda, challenging social norms that had been in existence for 350 years. While the trajectory and outcomes of ‘black’ Bermudians’ transgressive social protests could not have been predicted, this analysis uses racism, oligarchy and contentious politics as conceptual tools to illuminate the social mechanisms and processes that eventually led to the end of formal racial segregation in Bermuda after less than three weeks of limited and non-violent collective action.

  • United Bermuda Party's Reply to the Budget Speech Delivered by Mr
    United Bermuda Party’s Reply to the Budget Speech Delivered by Mr. Bob Richards, JP, MP Shadow Minister of Finance Friday February 25, 2011 INTRODUCTION Mr. Speaker, my colleagues and I had hoped to come to this Honourable House this morning in support of a Government Budget that had set the country on a path to economic recovery. Never before in living memory have circumstances so warranted “bold decisive action on the part of government”, as the Premier/Finance Minister promised in her Budget Statement last week. Latest figures on the island’s gross domestic product - an indicator of our standard of living - showed a contraction of 8.1%, a calamitous drop affecting all sectors of the economy. At a jobs fair last week, 835 people showed up for 155 jobs. Unemployment, unknown for generations, has become a fact of daily life for thousands. Retail sales have fallen for 32 straight months. Nowhere is the reality of this devastating statistic more apparent than in St. George’s where shop closures give it the feel of a commercial ghost town. Tourism air arrivals are at their lowest in more than 40 years and Bermuda’s hotel sector hangs by a thread; with the gleaming new Belmont/Newstead properties in receivership and promised new developments unable to break ground. Public debt doubled this past year to more than a billion dollars. The Government has set aside $70 million just to pay the interest this coming year. That’s more than $180,000 a day. Mr. Speaker, in the face of this economic crisis, we expected the Government to come forward with a plan to grow jobs, grow income and restore some level of public confidence that it understands what it is doing.
