There are two stories on the front page for Friday, July 7.

Why is Government proposing a seven-year tax holiday for existing and new water bottling companies when “they have already been making very good profits for more than 20 years.” Academic Professor Wadan Narsey raised this issue during a post 2023-2024 national budget forum organised by Dialogue Fiji on Wednesday. He questioned the need to exempt the companies and deny Government much needed revenue.

Yaca, long time no see!” These were the first words exchanged by National Union of Workers general secretary Felix Anthony and Fiji Times journalist Felix Chaudhary, when they finally got to speak after four years. The Magistrates Court had ordered they not contact each other after Anthony was charged with “knowingly spreading false news” to The Fiji Times, relating to the expiry of Water Authority of Fiji’s workers’ contracts.
