Of all the noises our PRs have been making in the last few decades, it bothers me that their silence toward Nautilus Minerals exploration is deafening. It worries me that they are not questioning the activity that will potentially impact our resource that provide for our basic subsistence, the ocean. Nautilus Minerals' mission in the area, as they say, is for exploration. Exploration is good, but what is being done after the exploration is completed is bothersome. - Tevita U. Langi

Although Nautilus Minerals front man, Mr. Paula Taumoepeau, tried to make a case for his employer, I am not convinced the kingdom's best interest had been taken into account. - Tevita Langi

Can the Tongan people or at least their People's Representatives in parliament request authorities to make public if any studies such as Environment Impact Assessments were done and if so, can the MPs have a look at these studies, if the general public cannot have access to such information. - Tupou Taiamoni Finau

I have mixed feelings about Mr. Paula Taumoepeau's touting his employer's ambitious plan to mine the deep ocean floor near the kingdom. It is because I am always suspicious of good news that seems to be too good to be true. With that thought, I hope I am not coming across as an opponent to growth, good economic and environmental policies. Good policies encourage business opportunities, bring revenues to the government as well as sustaining a health environment. - Tama Foa
