October 6, 2014: We speak with Justice Ruby Nottage of the Constitutional Commission and Attorney Wence Martin about the proposed gender equality bills. It’s still unclear when exactly the now-postponed referendum will be held next year. We discuss the Commission’s consultation with the religious community, and the ongoing education campaign. We also ask whether the referendum issues can be addressed through legislation, rather than amending the constitution.

October 1, 2014: Union of Tertiary Educators (UTEB) President Mark Humes discusses the controversy surrounding the purported $400K annual salary request for prospective COB President Dr. Rodney Smith. Humes believes the request is “reasonable”, despite the college’s financial woes. He believes the successes Smith achieved in his previous stint in the post are proof that he is worth that amount.
Humes also outlines the union’s concerns and questions with BAMSI, the Bahamas Agriculture Marine Science Institute.
