“ EXCUSE ME BERTIE...Sorry, but the first lesson in "welfare" assistance is human beings need to eat first...then other things followed. We cannot raise chickens for 5 weeks when we need to eat right now. How can we raise chickens on an empty stomach? Please bring grown chicken, may be 2 days to eat, then we'll get to raising chickens.
Please do not treat us as homeless lazy people. Treat us like human beings...that's "Homo sapiens" and we will act just like other people of the world: Before the famine, Tongans do not go hungry. We work in the gardens in subsistence life style.
Now we have to buy sipi from NZ, and we must have a job to be able to buy sipi. But our government wants to build a golf course for $14 million and 20 people will be employed (part time). Go figure. ”
