Mr. Tuaileva's letter comes to no surprise at the situation of Tonga's electricity today. The electricity rates have increased and the Government has got its hands twisted in a very embarrassing conflict of interest case with the Shoreline issue. The Government is apparently what they call a "State within a State", whereby Tonga's national assets are run and owned by the King's siblings. If this were a private company owned by a commoner as we have seen with the Domestic Airline license battle then it would have been a totally different story. -William Mariner

The allegation that China forces abortion on families so they will have one child only exposes the author's ignorance of real conditions in China. China has a population of 1.3 billion, over 1/5 of the world's population, which constitutes serious challenges to the well-being of Chinese people and sustained development between population on one hand, and the economy, society, resources and environment on the other. It is a natural choice for Chinese people to adopt the family planning policy. The combination of state guidance with voluntary participation together with both incentive and restrictive measures is an important principle China has always followed since the implementation of the family planning policy. - Zhang Edward

The argument in Parliament at present centres around the size of the electricity price hike - which is the short-term issue. But alongside should be a more sustained discussion on the long-term solution to power supply. Tonga is not on its own on this issue as many countries are just as vulnerable as we are. But it's time like this that size does matter and for once - small is beautiful. Oil is a non-renewable source and as it dwindles at source, the price will continue to climb. There are alternatives abound which we should now consider seriously.

Each time an expert from abroad arrives to enlighten and civilize the "barbarians" of the Friendly Kingdom, it gives me the creeps. Please do not ask me why. Idiots usually feel that way about people. There should not be any surprise that I fit in perfectly when I feel that way. The latest was the visit by Ms Imrana Jalal, a Human Rights Advisor for the Pacific Regional Rights Resource Team. Please put your guns away. That is uncalled for. I support human rights as well. -Tama Foa
