The current incessant pressure applied by proponents to ratify CEDAW takes me back to Mary Fonua’s account (Feb. 12, 2015). She wrote that CEO Lōpeti Senituli assembled a group of educated and prominent ladies, as “relevant stakeholders” to decide the fate of CEDAW. - Sione Ake-mei-hakau Mokofisi.

The misconception around abortion and same-sex marriage is just a cover-up for attacks against CEDAW. We need to start talking about the real fears in people, particularly men who are in high positions of power and use these powers to control the masses - the real fear is about women and women's rights overall. The real fear is about giving up male privileges. If we want to talk open and honestly let's get down to business and stop using CEDAW as an excuse. - 'Ofa-Ki-Levuka Guttenbeil-Likiliki

Australia’s protest at the execution of two of its citizens in Indonesia is futile, only symbolic and definitely hypocritical, by any standard.

It has been reported on the social media that your Government wants a Royal Commission to investigate Tonga’s passport ‘scandal’; may I suggest that your Government also propose a Royal Commission enquiry into the burning of Nuku’alofa in 2006. – Senolita Swan.
