The Rarotonga Island Council in April was invited to amend the Sunday trading law to allow the taxi service to operate on Sunday. The taxi service had in fact been operating on Sunday, but this was outside the law.

The Council discussed the problem at length, and decided that once the taxi started to operate legally on a Sunday, others would follow and Sun day would no longer be sacred.

By eight votes to seven Council decided that the law should not be amended.
