FROM OUR ARCHIVES: At this junction of our quest for social, economic and political reform in Tonga, the one entity that is obviously missing is a credible opposition to form some sort of Shadow Government responsible for the drafting, presenting of demands and reform proposals, and the monitoring of their progress.

Executive Members of the Tonga Small Business Association (TSBA) are not happy with your article dated 8th April, 2006 titled: ...Tonga Chamber of Commerce stalls challenge by TSBA.... The Executive Members of TSBA have ordered me to inform you the fact that Mr. Tu...i Uata is not the president of TSBA. Mr. Uata and his followers are not members of TSBA. May be Mr. Tu'i Uata has his own organization, of which we highly respect, but we are sure it is not the TSBA. - Saia Moehau

If we choose to say that Tonga belongs to the People of Tonga including the monarchy and the nobility, then why the devil is the Royal family and especially Tupouto'a is allowed to just do as they please with the nation, assets and all, Shoreline, Tonfon, Airlines, Tongasat, Passports etc.
So what do we do ? - Sione Tapani Mangisi

There is a Latin tag cui prodest? meaning “who stands to gain?” When it is not immediately apparent which political or social groups, forces or alignments advocate certain proposals, measures, etc., one should always ask: “Who stands to gain?”. - March Pulu

The fiasco concerning Shoreline and its operation is a dilemma created by the government themselves. From your article of the same (8 April), it is clear that both the government and Shoreline operatives have collided with their various public statements, and in turn raises many questions. Shoreline is now returning the favor, giving the government the first option to buy back the electricity business. -Jason Faletau

Shoreline's recent announcement for sale is one of the intense climacterics of the moral, economic and political hardships and factions in the Kingdom. There is scuttlebutt that Shoreline's undisclosed multi-million dollar sales price is approximately T$60 Million and prior to Prince Lavaka's resignation as Prime Minister, Crown Prince Tupouto'a and members of the royal family were in favor of a T$100 Million loan from China to facilitate the purchase of Shoreline resulting in a royal dispute and subsequently Lavaka's resignation. = Mele Payne Lynch
