I would like to extend my sincere commiserations to the family of Professor Futa Helu, the nation of Tonga and the large number of people worldwide, who valued and were inspired by his life story, life work and extensive writings. Professor Helu's impact and influence extended not only through his school and university that pioneered new methods and encouraged more critical values in Tonga, but also worldwide through all the scholars who had the privilege to share conversation with him and be influenced by his sharp and engaged scholarship. -Dr Mike Poltorak

This is a show to make the public believe government is actually doing something about corruption. Government doesn't help rugby league and the local players, and those that do help within the approved authority of the law are not even given one ounce of assistance. - Siosaia Moehau.

Futa Helu was an extraordinary person, a strong and compassionate teacher. I first met him when I brought a group of Dartmouth College students to study the music of Tonga for three months in 1973.

It has been said that , "if it looks like a duck, walk like a duck and quack like a duck, more than likely, it is a duck". Incompetence in any language and form is still incompetence.

Both the MV Pulupaki and the MV Punalei are now tied up at the wharf here in Pangai, Ha'apai. The report from crew members of the MV Punalei is that "It almost sank" before the MV Pulupaki towed it into Ha'apai. It appears that there are serious problems with this vessel.

Since the tsunami came to Niuatoputapu we are very blessed on the island to recwive much assistance from abroad. Not just from foreign countries and organisations but also from many individuals who have given their money and their effort. I would like to thank with all my heart everyone, and make mention of those I do know. - Paea Fifita
