Fly-stick Trap Set For A Ground-dove: Mia Mottley Replies To Chris Sinckler In The Estimates Debate

Mia Mottley MP

A word of explanation to this title is necessary for the benefit of non-Barbadians.  A fly-stick is a “trap” set by young boys in Barbados to ensnare wild birds, it is not a good practice, should not be condoned and can never be justified but in this scenario it serves the purpose.  The Ground-dove (Columbina-passerina) is a small bird with a gentle nature whose velvet-smooth feathers, beautiful colouring and sharp reflexes makes it a joy to behold in its natural habitat.  To wish harm to a Ground-dove is akin to one who sets out to kill a mocking bird.

Owen Arthur – The Master Tactician – with a velvet glove smoothness and a deft touch of which only he is capable, has given Mia Mottley the opportunity – we are told – to reply to Chris Sinckler in the Estimates Debate.  When the surprise of this manoeuvre left the faces of political commentators and the head scratching subsided.  The question asked was why?  To have been so daringly bold and to think beyond the expected, with the agility of mind to play a stroke of genius is why I gave Owen Arthur the title The Master Tactician some years ago.  Perhaps now at last those followers of politics in Barbados will get a deeper understanding of what I meant.

You have to make an offer in your own interest, yet so attractive that the person to whom it is made thinks it is a wonderful opportunity….pure genius.

How should Mia Mottley play this one.  She is clever that is beyond doubt and has a feel for the common touch.  She should play it from the “heart” and connect with the electorate, be statesman-like and hold her ground.  The Nation expects and Mia can deliver.

Rarely has so much rested on the words of a Barbados politician.  Many will be watching as victory will surely come to the one who plays the best hand.  As for Owen Arthur he is in the ring but there is no need for him to lace up his gloves.

    I hope the unemployment figures reopens the debate on the methods used to estimate the unemployment. I think that was the essence of the point Sinckler was trying to raise yesterday, not trying to make a claim that jobs were up as the paper’s headline said today.

    TAKE OFF EXTRA FUEL CHARGE:
    I must agree with this suggestion. As a matter of fact I think we would all agree with it. The cost of fuel has a direct impact on the coast of living. Since the BNOC’s debt is now cleared, the extra charge shoulg be removed.As was stated in the artical of the Daily Nation March 13, 2012 page 17, if the extra charge is removed, it would put more money in the pockets of Barbadians, which would inturn drive the economyof this nation. It does seem to me that, the cost of living has been influenced more so by Government policy, than by outside influences.

    Just to note: I am neither a supporter of BEE or DEM. I just call it as I see it, and as I see it THE EXTRA FUEL CHARGE HAS TO GO! And it needs to go NOW !!!

    For the sake of those who are Independents on the blog can we try to make substantive points although our partisan positions are fully known?

    @Trained Economist

    The lack of financial literacy and acumen remains unacceptable given our touted level of education. How difficult is it, using stats 101 – to interpret an issue where the underlying issue is about the use of methodology? We had the same issue in the headline a few days ago “1 billion gap” which was malicious in the prevailing climate.

    Have we ever witnessed a 2% turnaround in unemployment in one quarter? Particularly when the “engines” of the economy and government were stagnant or not firing?

    I have some difficulty seeing the fuel charge purely in terms of BNOC. We are now dealing with oil likely to be around $80 or more for the foreseeable future. How can we incentivize the economy to adjust to this new environment? I am not sure how a fuel subsidy helps in this respect. I would also be concerned about the potential impact on forex reserves.

    Onion bags, I am trying to understand the issues we face as a nation today and use my commonsense and learning to help me. I am not some puppet to have my strings pulled by the media or parry politics.

    I see we have a set of choices before us.

    We can try to drive growth from domestic consumption by giving an ease on fuel, VAT and entertainment allowances. This will benefit us all in the short-term as we will have more money in our pockets to spend, and it can certainly drive growth and employment. This approach is clearly very appealing but it to err om the side of risking the forex reserves in an environment where the oil price is high and heading higher and tourism spend is flat.

    The alternative is to seek to protect forex by keeping fiscal policy tight and work with the growth from the foreign exchange earning sectors. In terms of the long term health of the economy and the current economic environment I prefer the choice of erring on the side of protecting reserves.

    I also believe that we need to embrace Alternative Energy and Agriculture in a major way as distinct from seeking this consumption led growth.

    “I am neither a supporter of BEE or DEM. I just call it as I see it, and as I see it THE EXTRA FUEL CHARGE HAS TO GO! And it needs to go NOW !!!”

    You have made a suggestion worthy of discussion. I can agree with its removal from the fuel to generate electricity and on diesel for commercial use in order to lower the cost on domestic electricity bills and the cost of doing business especially in transportation. However, I would not extend this reduction to gasoline or diesel at the pump for private vehicles. The fuel surcharge that would remain on gasoline and diesel for domestic use should be earmarked to help fund the expansion and further technological development of alternative energy solutions. Why not use the surcharge on gasoline to set up a very low interest loan and grant facility to be made available to small businesses and household to help them transition to alternative energy solutions. Integrated systems to generate both hot water and electricity can be the next major tax saving incentive for householders. Importation of smaller and more efficient vehicles using electricity or non-fossil fuels (mixture of gas and some other fuel, ethanol for example) attracting much lower tariffs can also be considered.

    Observing that is exactly the point I have been trying to make. the issue is more to do with the methodology for computing the rate. You know statistcially nothing has really happended, the rates published are all within the confidence interval.

    maybe there was never really a jump from 10-12 in a single three month period. Statistical errors have a way of cancelling out with repeated sampling.

    Persons seem to be showing their bias in that when the rate jumped 2% in one quarter they were quick to seize on it as accurate and berate the Central bank for questioning it in light of other data. The view espoused then on this blog and in the nation newspaper was that the stats department is the only authority to speak on unemployment, central bank should shut up and we should accept the number. Now the same stats department is reporting a 2% decline in one quarter we are suddenly supposed to buttress the number published by the stats department with our own sense of whats going on around us.

    This has been an interesting four years.

    But miller the current system allows the very categories you speak off to access petroleum products at subsidized prices.

    Insurance, there is also the tiny matter of trying to stave off another downgrade. The ratings agencies will not respond well to any perceived softening of the fiscal stance.

    I am not clear what you are on about in regard to your statement above.
    Just for sake of clarity, are you tell us that there is no fuel surcharge on the diesel bought by BL&P?
    We know the transport Board and the PSV sector have access to the “privilege pump’. But what about the other commercial vehicles used in construction, goods delivery to the various retail outlets and taxi operators?

    Are they exempt from or can they reclaim the fuel surcharge?
    And lastly, what is the fuel surcharge used for other than liquidating BNOCL debt? Does any of it find its way into the Treasury for co-mingling with “ordinary’ tax revenues?

    Just Asking on behalf of ordinary BU readers!

    PS: Hey, “anthony”, what’s up? We need you to turn on the electric light and counter some of this ‘trained economist’ political propaganda so we can see the true picture.

    an interesting point made by Sinckler indicates Governemnt will see out its full term to the end of March 2013. The question is will the temporary truce in BLP infighting and in particular OSA last that long. No early election for Owen, Pain and Gail.
    The decline in unemployment is welcome news and not surprising along the ABC highway from Warrens to Sobers roundabout I counted 10 major construction projects, amazing in Barbados recession hit economy.

    In all the analysis and critique no one is pointing out that the BWA no longer needs a subsidy. So right now BWA and CBC are not a burden to the tax payer. That seems like progress to me. where are the fair minded commentators?

    “The decline in unemployment is welcome news”.

    Just remember that there are three types of lies: “Lies, damned lies and statistics”.
    That % statistic 10 12, or whatever is just what it is. It does not include the long-term unemployed and those who have decided to drop out of the system. Only those receiving unemployment benefits or actively looking for work. Look around Barbados any day in the week and you would see the wasted talent and potential labour force idling their time away.

    True, very true! A new economic paradigm or way of doing business is already upon us. We will need to jettison the old rule book starting with the 2008 DLP Manifesto of largesse, handouts and “welfarism”.
    Maybe you can make a similar call for the BLP’s book of false promises.

    Point is that being even a more balanced eye than most, I have lived to see the D’s make a complete about turn to earlier days. What we have seen in recent times is a circus of inepts, trying to do what is completely out of their depths..and making a meal out of it to the disadvantage of poor people.
    How in gracious name could you a trained economist say nothing on the continuation of not subsidizing gas prices when people are at dying ends to make end meet?. How D hell could Govt ( thru BARNOC) could hold out …making profits at our expense ($100 million in a year ) …with no remorse whatsoever….sending up fuel prices in tandem with bottle gas….whipping the hell out the middle class and poor arses? How D hell you a trained economist could standby and see a tin a mackerel being sold from once $1.89 now $4.67 (poor people food man) a sardine $2.09 a tin of corn beef $4.25.?..watlessness man…..ALL THESE PRICE INCREASES DIRECTED TO THE POOR..cuddear carson…it’s shameful…and these brute driving bout BMW’s and Jag’s and still Jesse- James-ing on and about CLICO money funds that pensioners put up for rainy days….Am I not truthfully neutral enough for ya ?Have I not used my lil common sense to analyze ?

    if bnoc is 100% government owned then the pricing policy is part of the carrots and sticks approach to energy policy put in pIace by the administration. In light of this whether or not a loan is paid off or bnoc is making a profit (which is effectively government revenue, remember the deficit ans the credit rating) I stick to my earlier position.
    the price of petroleum products is going to be high for the foreseeable future and we must adjust. the squeeze is currently tight I agree and i am feeling it. but as a result of the high cost (the stick) i am beginning to make adjustments in terms of my household energy use, I am actively exploring an alternative energy solution (hoping to take advantage of the carrots) at home and fuel efficiency will be a major factor when i change vehicles. If this ease is granted as we are all clamoring for i might not bother about these adjustments and stick to my old lifestyle and choices.

    If the government is intended to use the strategy you suggest the RE policy should have been more aggressively implemented. We should have been further along four years hence. Wither the Wind Farm at Lamberts? What about the rider to encourage consumers to feed BL&P grid?

    Lastly if what you say is the policy why has the government not seen the value is rolling out a communications strategy to apprise Bajans? Would it not deflate much of the rhetoric floating in the public domain?

    I cannot speak for government pr, thats outside my competencies.

    There has been a lot of movement on the alternative energy policy framework over the last four years. There are now major tax deductions, duty free imports, the Smart energy Fund and the pilot scheme with BL&P. I have investigated the scheme with light and power for personal reasons and in terms of the rider and it is very attractive. the issue for some is clarity as to what the rider will be after the pilot project is over. The government should move quickly to provide clarity on this if more people are to sign up for the pilot scheme.

    In my discussions with BL&P, they indicate that while there has not been a lot of take up on the pilot scheme, a substantial number of players in Bim have gone off the grid and are using an alternative energy solution.

    Tenders have already been put out for a number of public buildings to be fitted with alternative energy solutions. It would be a shame if the same old money people are the ones who will grab this new area while we clamor for a return to subsidies.

    Looking at the member for St. James Central provides a synopsis of the DLP: they are maimed and looking at Barbados through one eye that focusses on self and not the people. They are stressing the creation of a society and failing to see from their one eye that you need to build an economy that can take care of the needs of the society.
    For them with the one eye set on the Paris network, they see big people and big money, but fail to see the small man, ordinary bajans, the small contractors, the marginalised and disabled.
    Thanks to Mr. George Hudson, we know that the DLP is a one-eyed government with no political will to do what is right for the majority of Barbadians.

    Now that you have mentioned Four Seasons, what is the state of play with that project?

    It seems as if the good “professor” has jumped ship too. After pocketing huge fees with nothing to show for his pay, he has, it appears, abandoned the project just like the original developers. Leaving the “everybody hates Chris” inheritance from the dead DT bête noire to swim, sink or turn to rust. One would have taught that all these millions floating around the likes of L P and the queen of the East would have created private companies to clean their “suspect- gotten gains via the investment route in the 4 Seasons project.
    Maybe the fired marshal can be used as the fall guy and can be put before the firing squad of political expediency.
    But what about the Finance and Economics self-acclaimed guru professor?
    Just heard him on the BBC World radio programme “world have your say” (WHYS) doing what he does best:-“talking”. Talking about the UK government’s proposal to introduce to a small tax/fee on certain financial transactions to help defray the cost of the various bailouts and shore up pensions and other deferred income funds.
    He has probably returned to Academia after lining his pockets with easy money from the stupid Bajans. He was gentlemanly referred to by the person hosting the programme as “a fellow” at the London Business School.

    Maybe “ac” or “!” the two senior communications specialists at the George St. Auditorium (or even the “trained economists”) can let us know if the goodly ‘professore’ is still involved with the 4 Seasons controversy and when can we see a restart of the project promised since September 2010.

    “Tenders have already been put out for a number of public buildings to be fitted with alternative energy solutions.”

    As I indicated before I am not against the retention of the subsidy. But it should not be continually imposed on fuels that make up significant cost inputs to those products and services that make up a large percentage of the consumption pattern of poor people (food, utilities, public transportation). What about the “ordinary” householders who cannot afford the upfront cost of investing in alternative energy solutions? Should they be part of the vanguard to bring about a “greener economy and environment”? Can’t low cost loans or strict grants with strict conditionalities be made available and financed through the fuel surcharge on gasoline and diesel for private vehicles?

    Just to clarify: Are these tenders for the actual retro-fitting of solar electricity generating systems or are these just invitations to conduct surveys and studies? We are eager to know the actual purpose and requirements of the tenders- so refer us to the tender document. It would be interesting to find out if it calls for: “to survey and actually do (install)” or “to study and recommend various courses of action” (to be another useless report prepared by some Party favoured consultant).

    old onion bags you must know that battening down and riding the storm is a valid approach. now that we have had some stability we can begin to look out and try a thing.

    However, the global recovery is tepid at best, the rating agencies got us by the balls, and we are stuck with the debt overhang from the debt buildup due to the massive off budget public investment program (highway, judicial center, cost guard base, kensington and cricket world cup, prison) now brought on budget and the policy of no layoffs and only minor adjustments with the entitlement programs over the last three years.

    As mia said, there is little or no ficsal space. as sinckler said trying to drive growth from local consumption risks the exchange rate peg. We need to embrace alternative energy, embrace agriculture, seek efficiencies in the delivery of our treasured social programs, exploit our strengths in tourism (luxury segment and seek to develop heritage tourism). We should not be harking back to a glory day of a property led boom and domestic consumption.

    As I think it was someone called Ellis Chase posted some time ago, much of the policy framework has been laid but the elites in bim want another shot at the glory days of property booms and consumption rather than accept that the environment has been fundamentally altered and begin the slow and painful work of building out a new economy.

    Agree that the commercial sector needs to be in the forefront of change. But imposing additional costs would not translate into any meaningful transformation or changes in habits. Just remember that all costs imposed on businesses are eventually passed on and borne by the final consumers. Businesses do not pay taxes, they just collect from consumers and pay into the Treasury some of them and hopefully most). All costs (including the profit element) are included in the final price charged to consumers. So it is the consumers who are fully bearing the fuel surcharges. What is required is for government to establish a legislative and enforceable framework buttressed by tax regimes which provide incentives and possible punitive sanctions or deterrents to current behaviour. It must also be the model and embodiment of the path to the way forward (leading by example). If the government does not set a good example then it can’t haul the private/commercial sector over the coals.
