I have no intention of engaging the doyen of Tongan journalists in arguing over how long is a short work week, suffice to say that my original public statement of defence has successfully quelled the swelling wave of angry letters from irate taxpayers who were misled by your original article alleging, amongst other things, that, "Tonga's parliament has decided to work less for more pay...." - Lopeti Senituli

I find it absolutely shocking and disappointing that Lopeti Senituli, the so-called Political Adviser to the Prime Minister Dr. Feleti Sevele, was accusing you of misinforming and misleading the public in connection with your comment on the working hours or days of Parliament. It is a simple calculation I am sure Lopeti is quite capable of doing, if he did his homework. - Tavake Fusimalohi

When Mr. Sevele was appointed as the PM, there was hope through out the kingdom; things will change for the better. Akilisi Pohiva was willing to give the new PM a year before he makes an assessment on how the new PM performs. I on the other hand was very impatient. I wanted immediate result as in Pronto and Now. That was why I was expecting Mr Sevele to lock up the Shoreline thieves and throw away the keys. - Tama Foa
