Editor,

Do you mind if I just use the Matangi Tonga to wish everyone all the best for the future.

I am happy to have helped during the year I have been Attorney General. It has been a privilege for me to serve in this role.

Many thanks to the new friends I have made this time around and of course the same thanks to the old ones.
