Back in 1996 I was instrumental in taking PPEL out of squash export for a number of valid economic reasons then and now. Not withstanding fact that PPEL was a victim of successive years of rampant poaching.

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.
