First of all, I wish to thank the PRs, the PSA, and the so called Tonga National Business Association (TNBA) for help crippling our small economy. Only if we sit down and think carefully of who we are, what we are doing, and how it would affect others and our very small economy, some light would have been came through to save us all time, money, and especially our beautiful faces. - Sione Maile

I would like to set the record straight for Sione and for any others who share this misconception. From the beginning, Afeaki intended that his Democratic Monarchy (DM) proposal should be made available to the public for discussion and review. Careful plans were made to ensure Afeaki...s DM proposal would get distributed as widely as possible to the people of Tonga. - Pousima AT Afeaki

I am sure the major topic of discussion these days is the partial opening and the indefinite closing or suspension of the Parliament. This is not good for us who were looking forward for our annual comic relief. There is no better situation comedy than that coming out of Parliament. I do miss Dr. Lavulavu and his mano-a-mano (man to man) fist fight challenges. Siuhu! - Tama Foa

The latest development on the legal action brought by Lasike and the People Representatives truly deserves a vote of "No Confidence" in the House and the plaintiffs should be booted out of the Legislative Assembly. With a real experienced lawyer like Clive Edwards to take part in a frivolous case of this nature is totally absurd. - ‘Ofa-ki-Tonga

As a follow on from my last letter, which was a reply to Mr Haouli's earlier diatribe about the Court action that was filed by Mr Edwards. I would like to state a common saying that is part of the lingo of Indigenous Australians what now? - James Tapueluelu

I did challenge the fragility of Tonga at this transitional period of political reform, to put together your resources and streamline your budgets for the betterment of the public services, the economic development and the people of Tonga while formulating the most practical political approaches to apply with an ultimate objective: Peace, Unity, Solidarity and Prosperity must be maintained. - Henry Alexandra Tonga

The Tongan Methodist Church is an economic behemoth, capable of adding value or crippling our economy. My observation is that that the church is probably doing both but on the annual conference, the level of consumption and the costs may have negative impact on shareholders but also on the economy as well. - Sefita Hao‘uli

After reading about the plight of the MOW employees in Ha'apai, I confirmed something I have suspected for a very long time. My psychiatrist is right. I am an idiot and I do have multiple personalities. I can be angry, empathize and laugh within a minute's time. I am pretty sure I am serious about this statement. - Tama Foa

A case that's clearer curiouser and more curiouser is now before the courts so I am curious to know how many times this section has been breached in the past, and will I be taking section 17 of the Constitution as reported, too literally, to suggest that Queen Salote could not have legally opened Parliament during her entire reign? - Sefita Hao‘uli

My statistic of 4% civil servant was questioned. It was argued that 4% civil servants feed and cared for their families, relatives and extended families thus the percentage should be higher than 50%. - Ana Paea

It was interesting to read the article "Tonga must avoid political disaster, says Princess Regent" on your website dated 02 June 2006, where there was a proud referral to the private remittances sent by Tongans living overseas being of a size equal to that of the nations GDP and admittedly significant enough to be referred to as shoring-up the country's economy. Inbetween the lines, we are supposedly the envy of other lower remittance sending nations who couldnt match us. - Dr. E. L Saafi

The Tongan Government floats about aimlessly. At this time of political turmoil, the Royals would not want one of their own to be blamed when the wheels falls off the govt yet again. Their answer would be to say that it was one of your candidates. -Sione Tapani Mangisi.

I'm deeply concerned with PSA's manipulation over the list of its proposed Ministers for an interim Government. I must agree with Ana Paea's comment at this stage. It is fair to say that PSA wants solid power. We supported your fighting for fairness and justice but we cannot endorse your political manipulation. - Velangilala Tupou
