Your Comments : Natives misuse $40m: Ganilau
So we bank on our income from working the tourism industry to survive. Ranjit Singh of Nadi (61 days and 14 hours ago) The reporting maybe misquoting Ratu Ganilau. I pay $180.00 a year after a downpayment of $2,000.00. I have no idea how much of that money is coming the landonwner after NLTB takes out their share. It can be hard to swallow that kind of figure tossed around; in the millions especially when you take into account not only the NLTB cut but also that many tenants do not pay their rents. I think to solve the problem across the board we have to be honest in our all parties. The tenants, the NLTB, the chiefs. My personal view is to let me pay direct to my landowner's house. Truth & Freedom of New Zealand (61 days and 14 hours ago) The 40m sounds very big indeed but when the money goes around the mataqali it is not really much left.
Political background to the CPE protests
We are reposting the following series of articles on the revolt of the French working class in November-December 1995 in the hope that it will help to clarify the political background to the present upheaval in that country. The ongoing revolt by millions of youth and workers is a further response to the effort by the French ruling class to slash or eliminate entirely the social gains made in decades of struggle. In November-December 1995, the working class revolted against efforts by the right-wing regime of Prime Minister Alain Juppé to reform the social security system, just as today the government of Dominique de Villepin is reforming Frances labor laws. In 1995 millions of workers, led by the transport workers in particular, rejected the claims made by the government and the media and recognized the maneuver for what it wasan attempt to shift the burden of the social costs on to the back of the working population.
