AGP Executive Report

Last update: 19 minutes ago

Parliament: The Electoral Court dismissed a bribery petition against FAST MP Tuia Fuatogi Letoa, who keeps his Safata No. 2 seat. Aliimalemanu Alofa Tu‘uau was appointed Samoa’s sixth woman MP, bringing Parliament to 52 members. Public Services: A Savai‘i patient’s emergency transfer was delayed when the expected Samoa Airways aircraft did not arrive; the Prime Minister intervened, and the patient was later flown to Apia. Prime Minister: La’aulialemalietoa Leuatea Schmidt apologised for a 2007 video showing him saying “Heil Hitler” and making a Nazi salute, calling the words and gesture inappropriate. Labour Policy: New mobility rules cap annual placements in Australia and New Zealand at 10,000 and route recruitment through the government’s LEEP division, ending direct referrals.**
