Page 2 Penguin News, February 14, 2014 Penguin News Comment by Editor Lisa Watson THE philosopher Voltaire’s musing: “I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it,” is admirable however there are moments when I can sympathise with science fiction writer John Scalzi: “If you want me to treat your ideas with more respect, get some bet- ter ideas.” Because there are times when one knows with absolute certainty that another’s ideas are horrifically, scarily wrong. One of those is the (hopefully minority) view that some teenage minors subjected to sexual abuse from adults should, “take some responsibility,” for what they have been, or may be, subject to. Bearing in mind the very robust comments on the matter from the Senior Magistrate over past months, one might confidently assume he has educated to the contrary, the minds of the ignorant or misguided. Unfortunately hav- ing heard stories of alternative opinions recently it seems that is still not the case. If Mr Gumsley will forgive my paraphrasing his comments, a child is a Interceptors, on the site at Byron Heights, designed to repel water child by law and it is incumbent on the adult to take responsibility for his while absorbing oil based substances.

  • Falkland Islands Economic Development Strategy Is the Result of an Inclusive and Cooperative Approach
    FALKLAND ISLANDS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY STRATEGIC DIRECTION 29 October 2010 1 FOREWORD The Honourable Dick Sawle, MLA The Economic Development Strategy (EDS) is a process begun under the previous Assembly in 2008. The Falkland Islands economy has boomed since 1982 and the Falklands has benefitted enormously from the success of the fishing industry. Fishing now accounts for 60% of our Gross Domestic Product. There has also been a very successful and large growth in tourism and the various service sectors that surround it. However, the economy of the Falklands whilst successful, cannot rely on such a narrow economic base for the future . It is widely recognised that the private sector must grow and we must deepen and strengthen current industries such as fishing, tourism and agriculture as well as develop new industries and diversify the service sector. The EDS sets a target for economic growth of 4% to 6% per annum. With ever higher public expectations and the increasing costs associated with meeting the demands of a modern democratic society, the Falkland Islands has to grow its population and its economy in order to sustain itself. This EDS document, produced in collaboration and in consultation with all sectors of our community will act as a blueprint for our economic future . Mr. Roger Spink, President, Falkland Islands Chamber of Commerce This Economic Development Strategy (EDS) sets out a vision with respect to the Falklands economy, and how it can be realised. The EDS is a long term high level strategic plan of action for all those stakeholders in the Falkland economy who are concerned with its success.

  • The Islands Plan
    Falkland Islands Government The Islands Plan 2018–2022 Our vision To progress the sustainable economic, social and political development of the Falkland Islands [ for the benefit of all residents. ] Welcome to The Islands Plan Our beautiful home is unlike any other. We have a truly exceptional landscape, seascape and heritage. Diversity is everywhere: within our culture, our flora and our fauna. We are a fair, just and equal society that is democratically self-determined, and we are a proud member of the global economic, social and political communities. This document sets out our shared vision and priorities for the Falkland Islands over the next four years. It articulates our ambitions for improvements and the actions we will take to deliver positive results, across a range of key areas, for the benefit of every resident. We have an unprecedented opportunity for economic growth and The Islands Plan connects our community’s aspirations for protecting the environment, improving transport and communications links, and modernising our infrastructure, with the possibilities that exist to improve our prosperity, health and wealth for current and future generations. We also have some significant challenges that we cannot ignore. Many of our objectives will require significant investment and a suitably skilled and sufficient labour force to achieve, so we will need to take some big decisions to create the right environment for our plans to succeed. 1 The role of our civil service will be vital to the achievement This also means we will insist on our continued of our plans. The Islands Plan has to be more than simply commitment to robust principles of good governance, words on a page; it must be embedded in the day-to-day which recognise the value and importance of our activities and priorities of each department.
