[pima.nius] Re: PR: Public statement from Green Party Co-Leader Metiria Turei to the People of Tonga

ithMalo si'i popoaki mamahi metiria,
malo laumalie tokoni taki 'oe Green Party,
Thank you for your messages of condolences in our te reo lea fakatonga
what is your party's position on NZ government offering thru NZAid to
get another boat asap with japanese government.
This is an urgent request not only for the kingdom of tonga but also
your own territories in tokelau specifically.

Both nations have been seeking assistance with their ferries...

appreciate any urgent updates as my own local tongan constitutients
have expressed a need for a new boat to also be managed and manned
from
Aotearoa. Some have even spoken about bringing back the old kalia or
tongiaki designs that our forefathers used to transverse across the
pacific ocean...

Me'a a Metrina

First Tongan elected member
Pacific Islands Board auckland city (PIBAC) council
