The Tonga Government released a couple of days ago, electronic copies of the current legislation.

For those in the country, you can go to one of them Government offices (I don't know which one, but check the below website for details) and they will gladly give you a CD with the law books in there.

Now, this is way cool, because we've just recently had a little bit of argument with the neighbours about they wanting to have parties 'til 3:00 and 4:00 am with all their attended noise etc. Not that its that important for me to dig through the non-existent noise regulations in Tonga, but if I wanted to, now I have the freedom to look it up.

An being as we all regularly believe ourselves smarter than the average person, and in somecases smarter than lawyers, now you can prove it to yourself.

My cousin Sione Takapautolo Toefoki (nee Koloi) was a lawyer and had these law books and law reviews at his house so I used to spend a bit of time just hanging out with him and being fascinated by how Tongan law worked by just reading through those reviews etc.

Now, everyone has the opportunity to walk through these legal papers, and our schools now have full access as well.
