The Royal Commission is in the process of finalising its report and everyone has their own theory as to what happened, didn't happen, was supposed to happen... One would expect from all the errors, deficiencies and shortfalls identified; that causal factors will be determined, as well as contributory factors, and from that the required corrective & preventative actions recommended for implementation. - Siu 'Ulua

I write to express my great concern about the incorrect . . . article in Matangi Tonga about Lord Dalgety being under 'House Arrest". I am aware that you were informed yesterday (Tuesday March 2) of the facts about Lord Dalgety's bail conditions by my brother Tavake Afeaki. Surely, we have learnt one thing from the Ashika tragedy and Inquiry - which is that we must all fulfil and discharge our duties fully and completely.... If you consider you were misled by the Police 'Press Statement', then by all means state this in your article. -Afeaki
