Dear Sir,
Dr. Aqorau did make a good point. Once upon a time regional public servants are never allowed to make public comments on matters such as this.

I do know that there was uproar at Government House when the nomination of the individual in question was mentioned. As expected, the then government won the day and Julian Moti QC was granted the award
