Praise for Norfolk Island

We told you in an earlier issue of Your Parliament Your Voice how Managers of the Public Service briefed Assembly Members on how their various areas of responsibility worked. These discussions were very meaningful and one in particular prompted me this week to speak with the Manager of the Electricity Undertaking John (Moochie) Christian yesterday to make myself more aware on how the solar energy initiative was working out for the undertaking. That was a very worthwhile discussion and we would like to take the opportunity to compliment the Electricity team on a job well done. Mr Christian has recently received approaches from Kiribati, Samoa and Vanuatu seeking advice on how Norfolk Island is so successfully melding the two systems of power generation together and what government policies are in place. Again, Norfolk Island is demonstrating its leadership.
