The reorganisation with this re-allocation of Portfolios, according to Premier Vivian is a positive indication that despite our recent financial setbacks we must forge on ahead with confidence with our Development Plans.

 

“The key issues are to adhere to our Budget allocations, and to be vigilant in the way they are to be used,” he told the Ministers’ during Cabinet Meeting. “We need to look ahead and move ahead, and we cannot afford to stand still by worrying about where we are. We have plans and we have people out there who are willing to help”

 

The Government has already begun the process of putting into action the initiatives that will provide the necessary impetus. The Public Service is being reorganised into more cohesive units, the Niue Foou Hospital is opened and running, we are expecting more visitors who will bring tourist dollars and Air New Zealand’s cheaper air fares will ensure this, we have a Village Development Project about to begin so that our village communities will have a share in the Tourism market.
