NZ MP lewd remark shamed us Tongans
New Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand: Unbeknownst to David Garrett who is clearly not Tongan, he has brought shame to us Tongans here in Zealand and it gives out a picture that harassment is a norm in the Tonga work place environment. - S.F. Fonua.

Tongan lawyer's behaviour unacceptable in NZ Parliament
Nuku'alofa, Tonga: One reads with the greatest concern the statement by a NZ ACT Member of Parliament, David Garrett (employment lawyer for over 10 years), trying to justify lewd remarks that he made to a female worker, asserting that "I'm on a very steep learning curve, I now
understand very clearly that the kind of thing that might have been okay in a law firm in Tonga is not okay in Parliament." (NZ Herald,
23/06/09).

540 Domestic Violence Cases, six deaths shameful!
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA: Let's be honest: these women abusers are very sick puppies. They need professional treatments, and Police must subject them to counseling, and even deny their bail and keep them in jail until their day in court. - Sione Akemeihakau Mokofisi.

Vava'u marina use embarrassing
Sydney, Australia: I am a Tongan now living in Australia but originally from Vava'u. After 23 years I returned to Vava'u with my wife on a cruise ship and was totally dismayed with what I saw. - Sione Tupou

The one way to walk the TVB Map of Tongatapu
Sacramento, USA: How will you display that map at the National Center in Tofoa which attracts a lot of tourists all the time? Will you display it facing north such that you can't see it from the road, and the only way for you to 'walk the map' is get inside to the compound so that you can 'walk the map'? That is a silly idea but that is the only you can 'walk the map'. - Sonasi Latu.

Let's have a vote on the TVB Map of Tongatapu
USA: One of the highly prized ideals in a democratic society is the ability of the people to get involved in the decision making process. If your map was given to the public for review and discussion, you would have a solid footing to stand on and tell us, this is what the majority wanted. But telling us to shut up and sit down is truly an official signature of a National Captain. - Tama Foa.

The TVB map of Tongatapu is Wrong
Nuku'alofa, Tonga: I applaud you (Director of TVB) for your attempt to answer Leonaitasi's question about the map. However you cut slice or dice your explanation it is still Wrong. - P. M. Tu'ivai.
