Whatever you may think of the Government, you'd have to concede  their 2019 at least look impressive — and to this inexpert eye it certainly is. 

Government's economic performance may have come at costs, but there have been definite improvements along a broad front, despite Cyclone Winston that wiped out the equivalent of a third of the value of the county's GDP in 2016. 

This year's Budget was  preceded by an unprecedented level of  consultations, mainly thanks to an online Facebook page that had 50,00o visitors. This is good news, and promises well if Government also extends consultatons to people's organisations, and on other issues.
