Samoa’s Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sa’ilele has attacked news media for claiming tsunami aid to his country was being misused.

He challenged media to go to the scene and see for themselves.

But as he made the claim Porirua College’s head of Pacific Studies has questioned what happened to aid they gave to tsunami damaged villages.

“The only stories you are sending overseas are bad, unfounded stories.

According to the Samoa Observer, Tuilaepa said there were many “under-educated journalists” in Samoa.

He denied aid relief rorts were taking place and challenged the media to go and see. I urge your journalist association to form a special council to rule the reports by these boys and girls who write these make up stories,” the prime minister said.

“Stop relying on statements from the government.

He blamed the rain for delays in aid reaching the damaged southern coast. You go see,” he said.

“Some houses are up.

“The rainy season is here, the people fixing roads should look at fixing roads because of the dirt,” he said. . But others should begin this week.

The principals of both colleges cancelled planned trips and went shopping to spend funds on buying kitchenware necessities, such as knives, forks, plates, bowls, bush knives, pots, saucepans, and food.

“We were about to distribute the materials, to about 10 or 12 families when a senior government official arrived and asked us to take our donation to their village council committee who were allocating gifts to the village,” Aliimuamua wrote.

They travelled to Lalomanu to give it to the worst affected village.”

Their gift was not distributed however.

“We told him we would like to give our cash money to the Red Cross for distribution, but he was very convincing that the best way to go about distribution of our meaalofa (gift) is through the village committee, which we didn’t mind in the end.

“He hesitated as if not sure of anything and said, ‘Some materials have been given to the victims, but not the money, we are waiting until all donations had been received before we dish it out to the victims and then thanked everyone in the newspaper and let us know’.

“When I left on 12th October, I met the government official at the airport, I asked him if they had distributed our meaalofa, so far we haven’t heard of what happened or had seen any report in the paper about it.

. ”

Aliimuamua said they “hope that our gifts have been distributed already to all the Lalomanu families of tsunami victims as we wanted to help them

The Government is giving people the chance to “kick the tyres” of the MMP electoral system although it is working well, Prime Minister John Key says.

Justice Minister Simon Power announced today there would be a referendum at the same time as the 2011 general election, asking voters whether they want to retain MMP.

If they don’t, they can tick one of several alternative voting systems that will be set out on the same paper.

It will be a run off between MMP and the alternative that was given the most votes in the first referendum.

A second referendum will be held at the same time as the 2014 general election if a majority want a change.

“But we promised New Zealanders on the campaign trail they would have an opportunity to kick the tyres.

“I think we’ve proved in close toly a year in government that the system is working well,” Mr Key told reporters.”

Mr Key said he didn’t believe voters would be likely to choose to go back to the old first-past-the-post system, which MMP replaced in 1996. .

Mr Power told there was a widespread expectation at the time MMP was introduced that there would be a chance for another say on the system.

If a majority of voters prefer the alternative voting system to MMP, the 2017 general election will be held under the chosen alternative.

Cabinet was yet to make decisions around wording of the questions and the alternate electoral systems to be offered.

It was also cheaper than other options, although holding two referenda would still cost $23 million.

Mr Power said holding a referendum alongside a general election ensured a good turnout, which was important if the referendum was to be legitimate.

Mr Power said the Government was determined to ensure there would be a strong public information campaign explaining the different alternatives.

Mr Power said the Government was determined to ensure there would be a strong public information campaign explaining the different alternatives.

“The Government wants to ensure New Zealanders have time to consider all the issues fully before making their decision.

“If a majority of voters opt for a change from MMP, there will be plenty of time for public discussion on the merits of MMP versus the preferred alternative voting system, before the second referendum,” he said. It would include the wording of questions and the options to be considered.”

Legislation to allow the first referendum would go to Parliament early next year.

Input would be considered at the select committee stage

LATEST:
A hunter who was missing in the Southern Alps south of Nelson has made his way to safety, say police. .

He had been hunting alone off the Rotoroa Track while other members of his party hunted the western side of the lake, said Senior Sergeant John Maxwell of Nelson Bays Search and Rescue.

A dog team followed what was believed to be Mr Manson’s foot prints, which led south toward the Sabine Hut.

Mr Manson had hunted the area previously but was ill prepared for the conditions, he said.

The Nelson Search and Rescue helicopter was also called in but was hampered by the inclement weather.

Search and rescue tracking staff continued to brave the conditions into the early hours of Sunday morning before the search was called off, Mr Maxwell said.

About 30 people took part in the search earlier today before Mr Manson walked to safety himself.

A Masterton man who achieved a degree of fame through a near-death experience last year was today convicted of assaulting his former partner.

John Edmonds’ heart stopped beating for 25 minutes after a collapse in November.

After his recovery he fielded requests to share his story from a United States radio show, an author and the New York Times.

He was now a illness beneficiary, and the only way he could make money was by capitalising on the interest generated by his survival, she said.

At sentencing in Wellington District Court today, lawyer Louise Elder pressed for Edmonds to be discharged without conviction.

But Judge Stephen Harrop said Edmonds had three previous convictions dating back to 1986, including one for assault.

A conviction could prevent him travelling to interviews or speaking engagements overseas. .

He was also convicted of intentional damage to his former partner’s paintings and fined $1200 reparation.

He convicted Edmonds and sentenced him to six months supervision for assault with intent to injure and fined him $500 in emotional harm reparation.

The pair were getting along until Edmonds received text messages from one of his former partners, Judge Harrop said.

On August 5 this year, Edmonds had visited the home of his on-again off-again partner Sarah Alexander, 33, an amateur artist.

She snapped the phone – which Edmonds had borrowed – and this made him snap as well, Judge Harrop said.

Ms Alexander asked to look at his phone and was annoyed to see who the messages were from.

“You got very angry and you punched one of her paintings two or three times.

“You got very angry and you punched one of her paintings two or three times.”

Ms Alexander told police Edmonds had kicked her about four times in the legs as she collapsed under his blows.

“You then punched her a number of times in the head and face.

She said Edmonds was a high profile member of the community and other cases like his were heard every day and went “entirely under the radar”.

Edmonds’ lawyer, Ms Elder did not hide her contempt for “the press”, telling the court a Wairarapa Times-Age interview with Ms Alexander following the attack, which ran on the front page, had been “a huge punishment in itself”.

Since his heart attack, Edmonds could no longer work in the fitness industry and was now a illness beneficiary, she said.

It had a huge impact on Edmonds, and his teenaged children had received a barrage of text messages “which destroyed them”, Ms Elder said.

.

Judge Harrop noted a discharge without conviction was opposed by police and by Ms Alexander who, in her victim impact statement, said she felt “gutted” by Edmonds’ continued denial of what happened and the lack of an apology

US President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,” the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, citing his outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation. . Obama’s name had been mentioned in speculation before the award but many Nobel watchers believed it was too early to award the president. “His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.

“Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” the committee said.

“Obama has as president created a new climate in international politics.”

The committee said it attached special importance to Obama’s vision of, and work for, a world without nuclear weapons. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play,” the committee said. Former President Jimmy Carter won the award in 2002, while former Vice President Al Gore shared the 2007 prize with the UN panel on climate change.

Theodore Roosevelt won the award in 1906 and Woodrow Wilson won in 1919.

In his 1895 will, Alfred Nobel stipulated that the peace prize should go “to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses.

The Nobel committee received a record 205 nominations for this year’s prize. Sweden and Norway were united under the same crown at the time of Nobel’s death.”

Unlike the other Nobel Prizes, which are awarded by Swedish institutions, he said the peace prize should be given out by a five-member committee elected by the Norwegian Parliament.

The committee has taken a wide interpretation of Nobel’s guidelines, expanding the prize beyond peace mediation to include efforts to combat poverty, disease and climate change.
