Column 1

All equal
We will feel safer and more secure if we all agree and firmly believe that everyone is equal under the law – from the Governor-General, to the top cop, to the small man working on his farm in the village.
Turning back
Road traffic authorities manning checkpoints should watch out for drivers who notice them from far away and quickly turn back (some taking the risk to hurdle over the traffic island) to escape.
Cleary replacement
NRL and Panthers star Nathan Cleary needs six weeks to fully recover from a hamstrung injury, also putting his State of Origin Blues spot at risk. A Mitchell Moses’ call-up again?
Next stop, Honiara
Some of the 109 police personnel at the Jackson International Airport in Port Moresby on their way to provide security during the Solomon Islands General Election on April 17. But, come to think of it, how do they pick who goes on these trips? Out of a hat perhaps?
Caught up
An unenviable task, being a senior government minister and spending a good portion of your time looking after national tasks and responsibilities, while catering for the development and social needs of your electorate.
Worst time
Worst time to see the doctor is when there is a queue. Your turn comes and you soon see yourself out of the door again without any thorough diagnosis/assessment, and chat. Doc has to see all quickly, right?
Those cheats
Interesting to find out whether men or women cheat more in a relationship, here for example.
Food for thought
Norwegian proverb: Do not look to the ground for your next step. Greatness lies with those who look to the horizon.

“Insurance costs are going up after the Jan 10 riots. Insurance companies are re-pricing risks on all their customers. Companies say they are optimistic, but they are waiting patiently.” – Port Moresby Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Rio Fiocco.
