Current Events QTR 2 Week 5: New Fisheries decree expected early next year

     In Fiji a new fisheries decree is expected in early 2011. The fisheries Pacific islands leader is doing this to protect even the restricted areas of Fiji's waters. They are also taking into account the modern aspects faced by the sector. Some non-government organizations are part of the review process too. In conclusion Fiji is decreeing an act for new fisheries.
     In my opinion this is good because it helps save some of the most beautiful places in Fiji. I am glad that the non-government is getting involved because they probably go boating every day for their jobs. This is good because they most likely know the waters better that anyone else.It is a good thing that they are taking into effect all of the modern factors because if not then who knows how much trouble they would be in they didn't do that. In conclusion for the most part I think this is a good thin and it will greatly benefit them in the long run

Current Events QTR 2 Week 3: Inquiry in Fiji over grocery price reductions

In Fiji prices for food are drastically being cut. Some of  the countries largest supermarkets removed important grocery items in protest at their price reduction. Many customers are fumed at this and are complaining about the removing of the products, because most of the products are essential items. The supermarkets are going to put the items back on the shelf but they say "the mandatory price reduction has made the items uneconomical to sell."

This in my opinion is not very good because the price is so low that if they sell a lot then their economic state will be horrible. That is bad because if that happens then their economy in Fiji will drastically go down and the entire country will probably have to raise the price maybe by 300% (but probably less). This in turn will affect the whole country and put it in a state that the US is in right now with debt and high prices. So in conclusion this drop in prices has grocers fumed and customers mad because some products are not being put on the shelves.
