In my view, it is disingenuous for Mr Goldstern to characterize what was a genuine act by the Honorable PM in his first trip to the Kingdom. I suggest that Mr. Goldstern should read up and understand the History between NZ, Australia and Tonga. - M. T. Tuaileva

It is with some interest that I read Prime Minister Key's announcement of aid contributions for Tonga. The first aspect I find amusing is the absence of any recognition, in the announcement, that this is money being collected from citizens of New Zealand in taxes and therefore is coming from the people of New Zealand for the people of Tonga. Instead he gives the impression that this money is the result of his/government's generosity. - Peter Goldstern

The House approves for the salaries of Cabinet Ministers to come under the Salway Salary Scale, which was independently assessed. The other members of the House remain under a salary decided by themselves in 2006. But the PRs want the public to think that the PRs salary scale is what Salway recommended when, in fact, a sub-committee chaired by 'Uliti Uata and 'Akilisi Pohiva in 2006 had rejected Salway's figures and presented their own figures, which were higher than Salway's.
