"What happened was that in order to form the Commission the House had to pass a Bill for An Act to Amend the Constitutional and Electoral Commission Act 2008 (No. 17 of 2008), and then it went for the Princess Regent's consent before it was gazetted. But after it was gazetted, the chairman of the Law Committee, Hon. Siaosi 'Aho noticed that the wording of the Amended Act was different from that of the Bill that the House passed.
The House agreed that there was a problem and therefore the Act had to be returned to the House to be amended again and the wording was put back to its correct version before they closed. We reported the fact that there was no parliamentary investigation into who cheated. Tampering with the wording of a bill after it has been passed is viewed as a very serious offence in any parliament in the world - except, apparently, Tonga's." - Editor
