Attorney General comments

As a female professional, I was somewhat disappointed by the recent remarks of Mr Carl Bethel, the Honourable Attorney General, when he referred to the loss of employment of female prosecutors in the Office of the Public Prosecutions by highlighting same as burned out and contracting stressful illnesses.

Foreign oil drillers

There has been much said about the availability of crude oil deposits, deep underground in this country. And without an iota of proof.
