More promises, Mr Boynes?

THE EDITOR: Sports Minister Roger Boynes always sounds so very convincing and positive. I believe the goodly Minister can easily sell ice to an Eskimo.

However when one considers Government’s track record for getting things done and the fact that most politicians are from the “Promise Land.” I wonder if he’s called upon to construct an Igloo for the Eskimo, what will be the chances of success.? Let’s hope Mr Boynes fulfills all promises for providing training and other facilities for the various sporting disciplines. Finally, it will be remiss of me not to mention the fact that this country was represented by so many athletes at the games in Paris, and our national television made absolutely no announcement or advertised that live viewing was available on Channel 4. Shame on you! What say you Minister Boynes?
