Auckland, New Zealand : 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. Premium content -

USA : 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 -
