Last year, Parliament thought it was too burdensome on their members to work the whole day (5 hours) during those three days they are in session. They debated to reduce their work hours and their work days so they can mulch things over. Now, the public servants are not to be outdone? - Tama Foa

Well played Tonga. I take my hat off to all of you, the players, officials and people. The players played with lots of guts and pride that brought tears to my eyes. Being a Fijian I was really proud of their performance. All the best against England, my prayers are with you. I will be cheering with my USP Tongan Friends here in Fiji Islands. - Salesh Sami

Once again - well done to our Rugby Boys for taking the game to the Spring Boks yesterday. The game with Samoa was brilliant, yesterday - it was superb. Three things stood out yesterday, 1) the Tongan players have skills, 2) power and 3) decipline. I do believe that is the winning combination for our team - skills, power and decipline. - Senolita Swan

In regard to Tama Foa's letter of September 21, 2007: "My Wish, fix the Education System", he wrote that Tonga badly need more education on technical skills for its students to obtain and/or engage in jobs to generate income for them. In a way, Tama Foa is right, not only for the technical aspects of the curriculum but for others too; eg., qualifications of teachers, salaries of teachers, materials and equipments for students and teachers, equal opportunities in education, and a love for teaching and the students. - Sosaia Fatani

It was not too long ago that I wrote to you to take a dig at the Sea Eagle team and their immense appetites. It seems I may have been a tad rash and a bit too hasty. Indeed, it looks as if I've bitten off more than I can chew! - Dona

Reference is made to Sione Mokofisi's letter dated 15 September 2007 titled 'Agricultural Policy a Brilliant Idea'. I thank Sione Mokofisi for his contribution to the subject matter of which I believe only encourage positive synergistic dialogue to the development of the agricultural sector in Tonga. Noting his own views on the matter, I do wish to emphasise the following issues that perhaps deem furher discussion. - Brian Sutton
