Dateline Pacific evening edition for 24 April 2017

American Samoa government jobs up in the air; Call for fewer Tonga whale watching licences; Tourism PR scoop for French Polynesia; Palau's Chamber of Commerce says property values are going up rapidly and locals are reportedly being offered suitcases of cash for their land; two more Tongan workers have been sent home from Recognised Seasonal Employment, triggering calls for better vetting in the scheme; and a new book features what is considered some of the best commentary on Pacific life in New Zealand.
