As I read the article regarding the refusal of the Acting Prime Minister and members of both sides (PRs, nobles' representatives and Cabinet members) of Parliament to work a semi-normal work week, I am not sure what condition I am under.

The selection of Samiu Vaipulu as the new Chairman of the Whole House Committee, is historical because it is the first time ever for the House to elected a commoner to be the Chairman of the Whole House Committee, a position that has been traditionally held by a noble. On occasions a People's Representative was made an Acting Chairman, but never before that the majority of the Cabinet Ministers overwhelmingly voted for a commoner to be Chairman. Tonga Legislative Assembly, Minute No. 1, Monday June 2, 2008. From the House, by Pesi Fonua.
