The Governor of Gulf Havila Kavo asked the Education Minister why students are being sent to Australian institutes for studies and seemingly dropping out or wasting time when there are many good establishments in the country that would be far less cheaper.

Samarai Muru Member Gordon Wesley asked why the sea cucumber ban has not been lifted and why his people are assaulted by authorities when they are caught sea cucumber gathering. This question was answered by the Minister for Fisheries Mao Zeming who told the Parliament that it was recommended by scientists from the National Fisheries Authority that Sea Cucumber grow very slowly and so must not be touched for the next 6 years.
