Moss Beach,California, USA : It is highly likely that Tupouto‘a and Sevele's next desperate act is to reshuffle ministers, fire and appoint new ministers and create new portfolios. The only rationale to this theory is Sevele and Tupouto‘a need the vote to go through parliament for the $60M royal power. - Mele Payne Lynch -

USA : In the past couple of months, I went on a self-imposed sabbatical trying to find myself. Despite my honest effort to stay away, this twenty million dollar ransom demanded by the Crown Prince and his band of robbers begged that I return. In return for their demand, Shoreline will be returned to its rightful owner, the public. What a gutsy move for a daylight unarmed robbery. - Tama Foa Premium content -
