It is about a week now and almost everywhere you walk around the country
or go in Nauru, you will hear the same concern raised over and over again by
the people. That concern is about the Firebird court case against Nauru.
Anxiety is continuing to grow and grow rapidly on the island after the
news and radio reports about the Supreme Court action in NSW to freezing all
the country’s money in it bank account at Westpac because of the debts the
country owed to a company called Firebird of $30million.
The Minister of Finance Mr. David Adeang has informed the NSW Supreme
Court that the country will shortly run out of cash, after making its latest
round of government salary payment.
This week, panic has struck the hearts of the people, because they know
that whatsoever happen to the country will happen to everyone across the board.
Old or young, male or female, weak or strong everyone will suffer and
especially those parents with infants.
Now everyone in Nauru is waiting for the final verdict of the NSW
Supreme Court, as their lives all lies in the hand of one person, the Judge who
will be handing down the decision this week.
