Nuku'alofa, Tonga : Editor, I had a Nightmare, about Harder's "I had a Dream". ... It is clear that this troubled Lawyer has quickly been absorbed into the mentality and rhetorical language like a megaphone for 'Akilisi, 'Uliti Uata, Clive Edwards, Lepolo Tanusila, 'Isi Pulu and the Pangai Si'i mob. -'Inoke Fotu Hu'akau

Sydney, Australia : I am less confident that the proposal set forth by Mr Christopher Harder will resolve anything in the current as well as the future political situation of Tonga. To be sure, I do believe in apologizing and forgiveness in response. However, to think that an apology from all parties involved in the heinous crimes of 16/11 and a pardon from the King of Tonga will rectify the current political situation in Tonga is unavoidably laughable. -Rev Dr Ma'afu Palu Premium content -

UK : In my letter 'Kingdom of Tonga' dated 13/12/07 I said that - quote "I am also baffled as to why a Lawyer chooses to publish an explosive letter to the world and in doing so by-passes or seeks to by-pass the Judiciary System altogether, where criminal cases related to 16/11 incidents are waiting to be heard." Today, I decided to do a bit of research about this Lawyer to see who he really is. I typed in his name to the search box, hit the return key and bingo! Now, I would like to address Mr Harder on this Forum and invite him to explain to the Tongan People the real reason behind the Peace Plan for Tonga. He wrote and published this farcical plan knowing that the possibility of any of it ever happening is virtually Nil. - Senolita Swan -

San Francisco, USA : On 06/12/07, the Prime Minister's Office released a news article stating that it would take the Kele'a to court on a defamation charge. In my opinion, this is an attempt to jeopardize the function of the Clause 7 of the Constitution of Tonga - Freedom of Speech and Expression. -Siosaia Fatani. Premium content -

UK : Thank you Mr Harder for sharing your Christmas Message Peace Plan with us. I hope that you have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year as well. Just one thing though, if you ever tire of practising Law, try your luck at writing for Theatre Companies here in the UK. Your peace plan dream for Tonga would make a wonderful Christmas pantomime. We could slot it in between Cinderella and Snow White - I am certain that Peace in Paradise will be the flavour of this Christmas Season. - Senolita Swan -

Nuku'alofa, Tonga : I have observed great turmoil and frustration about the land as families turn against each other and the country as a whole is further torn apart by pro-democracy and pro-monarchy supporters being unable to reconcile their differences. Let there be no doubt, many in Tonga bear some responsibility for what happened on 16 November 2006 and the ongoing legal events that continue to tie up the legal process and stop the country from progressing. In no particular order these persons have responsibility and they do know who they are. - Christopher Harder Premium content -
