A suspect Tonga police have arrested after an unlicensed pistol was pointed at a staff working at the Emerald Hotel in Nuku’alofa on Saturday 4 has been identified.  

Koli Moa

Local media have alleged the suspect was 35-year-old Koli Moa of Kolofo’ou.

The Police said, “The suspect brought up a firearm and pointed at the victim’s forehead while speaking incoherently in English”.

“The police responded to the call and located the suspect shortly after”.

After threatening the staff, the suspect left the premises, got into his vehicle, and drove off.

He was later arrested on Hihifo Road at Hala’ovave with the handgun along with one pack of cannabis weighing 0.52mg.  

No one was injured, and the victim reported the incident to the police, a statement said. 

He was in police custody and has been charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm, illicit drugs, and attempting to intimidate with a firearm.  

Police investigations are still ongoing into the nature of this case.  

The victim was safe and sound and thankfully, he was not injured during the encounter.  

Tonga Police appealed to the public to report any criminal activities.

Flight attendant fired from Alaska Airlines for twerking while waiting for a pilot

A flight attendant was fired from Alaska Airlines after twerking for a viral TikTok video during a two-hour delay.

Nelle Diala, a former flight attendant for Alaska Airlines, was sacked from her ‘dream job’ after the San Francisco-native posted a video to TikTok of her twerking on camera while she waited ‘two hours’ for a pilot

Nelle Diala, has been fired after a video of her twerking on the job went viral. The TikTok showed the crew member shaking her hips while waiting for the captain during a two-hour delay on a flight.

In the clip, Diala captioned, “ghetto bih till I D-I-E, don’t let the uniform fool you.” The incident occurred shortly after the flight attendant celebrated completing her probationary period, marking the end of her new hire phase.

“What’s wrong with a little twerk before work, people act like they never did that before.” She included the hashtag #discriminationisreal, suggesting that she felt unjustly treated. In response to her firing, Diala has set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise money while she looks for new job opportunities.

She wrote: “I never thought a single moment would cost me everything. Losing my job was devastating.”

She went on to explain that her position as a flight attendant had allowed her to meet new people and see the world, and that she used her income to fund her growing lingerie and dessert businesses. The campaign has raised $182 of its $12,000 goal.

Some supported her, while others criticized her actions. One user on The Crew Lounge, an aviation-focused Instagram page, said: “You don’t respect the uniform, you don’t respect your job then.” Another commenter mocked her GoFundMe, stating, “Support for wrongly fired flight attendant?? Her GoFund title says it all. She still thinks she was wrongly fired. Girl you weren’t wrongly fired. Go apply for a new job and probably stop twerking in your uniform.”

Alleged ‘ministers outside of parliament’ in PM-elect’s new Cabinet as growing consensus pins the move on king’s influence

Reports allege the prime minister-elect has nominated people who were not Members of Parliament for his new cabinet.

As we reported earlier this week, the king was expected to appoint the new Cabinet next week, according to the Prime Minister-designate.

The number of nobility MPs, previously claimed to be three in the new Cabinet, now allegedly dropped to only one. 

The latest preliminary unofficial cabinet lineup paper seen by Kaniva News this morning claimed Crown Prince Tupouto’a was still the potential Minister of Defence and Foreign Affairs.  

It alleged that three other Cabinet ministers were nominated outside of the parliament.

The preliminary nominations appeared to show that the only MP chosen from the nobility’s bench was made because of the cultural assumption that a noble in that position represents the fonua (lands) better than a commoner.

We previously reported a preliminary unofficial Cabinet lineup.

Kaniva News contacted the Prime Minister-designate and sent him that leaked list for confirmation and an update.  

His communication officer, MP Taniela Fusimālohi, said they would release the new Cabinet ministers’ names in a press conference.  

Seeking the king’s support

The apparent multiple alterations in the Cabinet lineup nominees since the unofficial lineup we previously reported may signify a carefully considered strategy by Eke, designed to guarantee that his nominations gain the essential backing and support from the king.  

The constitution does not contain any provision granting the king the authority to participate in the Prime Minister’s process of selecting and nominating Cabinet ministers.  

However, the prime minister has to submit them for the king to appoint, according to the constitution.  

The latest leaked provisional Cabinet lineup comes after a delay in the Prime Minister’s and new Cabinet’s royal appointment, which was reportedly due to the king’s already booked schedule. 

Former Prime Minister Hon Hu’akavameiliku was elected on December 15, 2022, and was appointed by the king less than two weeks later on December 27.  

Eke was elected on December 24, 2024 and is expected to be appointed on Tuesday 21,2025 about a month since his election.  

Current appointment protocol 

The king’s reactions to recent nominations of Cabinet Ministers and meetings with prime ministers reflect a recurring pattern of protests from him.  

As Kaniva News reported last year, Hu’akavameiliku had nominated an MP to replace former and late Minister for Fisheries Semisi Fakahau. The king did not appoint that nomination. No information was publicly provided to explain why.

When Hu’akavameiliku was later asked for an update, he said during a press conference that he was still awaiting an update from the royal palace’s office.

However, when Dr Siale ‘Akau’ola was later nominated to replace outgoing Minister of Health Saia Piukala, the king spent no time appointing him.

There were also complaints by former Prime Ministers accusing the king of breaching the constitution by refusing to meet with them regularly.

Former and late Prime Minister Pōhiva Tu’i’onetoa told us in an interview that the king had revealed in one of their meetings that His Majesty later refused to meet with former Prime Minister ‘Akilisi Pōhiva. Tu’i’onetoa claimed the king thought ‘Akilisi did not correctly convey their meetings to the public. Tu’i’onetoa did not say whether or not the king informed Akilisi of his concern.

Kaniva News understands that the king took a similar stance towards Tu’i’onetoa and Hu’akavameiliku by allegedly refusing to meet them following a series of meetings that took place previously.

The Taxpayer’s Union-Curia poll now has Labour on 30.9 percent, just ahead of National at 29.6 percent.

It is the first time Labour has led National in their poll since April 2023.

The Greens are up as well, by 1.2 points to 9.5 percent, while ACT is down 2.2 points to 10.8 percent. 

New Zealand First is up 2.7 points to 8.1 percent, while Te Pāti Māori is down 0.2 to 5.3 percent.

These numbers would give National 38 seats in parliament, down six from last month.

Labour would have 39 seats, up five seats since last month.

The Greens would have 12 seats, up by one, while ACT would lose three seats at 14.

New Zealand First would rise three seats from last month to 10 while Te Pāti Māori would remain on seven.

Preferred Prime Minister numbers have seen a decrease in support for both major party leaders.

Christopher Luxon is down 2.6 points at 24.5 percent, while Chris Hipkins is down 4.6 points to 15.3 percent.

Winston Peters and Chlöe Swarbrick have gained the most support with the New Zealand First leader up 3 points to 8.8 percent and the Green Party co-leader up 4 points to 8.5 percent.

ACT leader David Seymour has risen to 6.3 percent, gaining 0.5 points.

The poll was conducted between 9 and 13 January, and surveyed 1000 adult New Zealanders.

It has a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percent.

Baby dies of whooping cough over Christmas period

An infant died from whooping cough over the Christmas period, Health New Zealand has confirmed.

Officials declared a national epidemic in November last year, with 1232 cases notified and 101 people hospitalised since the onset.

“Today we are acknowledging the death of an infant from whooping cough over the Christmas period,” National Public Health Service public health medicine specialist Dr Matt Reid said.

“Our hearts go out to the family who have lost their child to this highly infectious disease.”

Reid said it was “more important now than ever” to prioritise getting pregnant women, infants and those who are vulnerable immunised against whooping cough, also known as pertussis.

“Whooping cough is highly contagious and can cause serious harm to pēpi (babies), especially those aged under six-weeks-old, who are too young to be vaccinated.

Medical advice should be sought by parents or caregivers if their children have a cough that ends with a “whoop” sound or vomiting, if they stop breathing or go blue with coughing, if they get exhausted from coughing, or if they are unable to feed properly or lose weight due to coughing and difficulty breathing, he added.

“The best protection for you and your whānau against whooping cough is to get vaccinated – particularly pregnant people, pēpi, tamariki and older adults who are at higher risk.”

The whooping cough pregnancy vaccine is free, best given from 16 weeks of pregnancy, and should be given with each pregnancy to protect each baby.

Vaccinations for whooping cough are required at ages 6 weeks, 3 months and 5 months, then again at 4 years. A further booster is given at age 11. Adults are eligible for one free booster from age 45 and can also get one free from age 65.

Reid said in 2023 three infants died of whooping cough.

Health Minister Shane Reti said he was “very saddened” to hear of the infant’s death.

“My thoughts are with their family and friends at this difficult time.”

He said we all have a role in protecting babies from serious illnesses like whooping cough.

“Immunisation is the best way to prevent whooping cough, and since the epidemic began I am pleased to see data suggesting an increase in pregnant women getting vaccinated. But there is still much more to do.

“It’s incredibly important that people look out for symptoms of whooping cough and I urge pregnant women and anyone who has close contact with young children to get immunised.”

Flying Fijians confirmed to play Wallabies and Scotland in 2025

Former Flying Fijian and new Fiji Rakavi Football Union Limited (FRFU) board chairman John Sanday confirmed the two matches to RNZ Pacific.

Fiji Rakavi (Fiji Rugby) is the new company registered to administer, operate and manage rugby in Fiji.

“We have held discussions with Australia Rugby around the Vuvale Partnership and confirm that July 6 is the date for the Test against the Wallabies,” Sanday said.

“The Flying Fijians then return home to play Scotland the following weekend.”

Sanday said the Test matches will be good opportunities for the team to confirm their status in the World Rugby top 10 rankings.

Fiji is currently ninth below both Australia (8th) and Scotland (6th).

The Flying Fijians had defeated Australia, 22-15, for the first time in 69 years, at the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France, sending the Wallabies out of the top 10 rankings.

On their November tour last year, the Fijians lost badly to Scotland.

Sanday said both Test matches would be exciting and tough for the Fiji national side but he was confident the side can cause upsets again.

Under new coach Joe Schmidt the Wallabies began their resurrection in 2024.

They face the British and Irish Lions over three Test matches in July and August, with the Fiji clash lined up as a warm-up for that.

Sanday said that makes the Test clash on 6 July interesting.

“I am sure the Wallabies will be focused on winning that Test, avenging their loss in France and then of course warming up to meeting the British Lions,” Sanday said.

The Scotland Test back home in Fiji will also be a chance for the national side to avenge their loss in Murrayfield last November.

“We would like to welcome back Scotland to the Pacific and am excited because that will be the opportunity for the Flying Fijians to claim a win back over them.”

Following the two Test matches the Flying Fijians will then aim to defend their Pacific Nations Cup title when the series rolls off at the end of July and into August.

Two pools, Pacific and Asia, will be drawn up again for the series, which could also become the first qualifying event for the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia.

Pacific teams Samoa and Tonga will need qualification while Asia pool teams Canada and USA also need to qualify for 2027.

Sanday said the board is working with the FRFU management to finalise other Test matches in the November window.

“We are still discussing that with other unions and will confirm the details later.”

Diaspora involvement critical

Meanwhile, Sanday said one of the critical areas the board was working on is strengthening its commercial arm, which will be charged with securing funding, sponsorships and partnerships.

As a commercial director on the board, Sanday revealed one of the areas they are looking at is working with the Fijian diaspora in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the USA as partners.

“We are open to ideas and discussions,” he said.

“We want all Fijians to come on board and be a part of Fiji Rugby to support the national teams.”

The board had held discussions with the 8th Man, a fan group based out of Europe.

They will hold discussions also with similar fan groups and communities in the other countries around the globe.

The Flying Fijians and the sevens teams do not lack support when they travel to play around the globe, with thousands of Fiji fans turning up to support them.

“If you notice while watching these games, the majority of these fans are decked out with some kind of merchandise that identifies them as a fan for the Fijian team playing on the field,” Sanday said.

“These patriotic fans have contributed financially to Fiji Rugby by online purchase of merchandise through our distribution partners.

“The board is currently considering a review of the Fiji Rugby business model to introduce a subscription element.

“The basic strategy is to harness the patriotism from our growing supporter base to participate in a loyalty program with benefits/content that come with an annual fee to enable our rugby crazy fans to get a better online media content experience and through that, their annual subscription will directly assist our teams and sport nationally.

“These are being discussed and we are hoping to formalise and launch some of these this new year.”

Sanday said they want to make those connections beneficial to everyone involved.

Locally, he said they are working with member unions on understanding the strategic plan and how they can be involved.

He added that is important and they want to have a transparent system with the unions.

“Strengthening relationships with the rugby unions and national teams, improving infrastructure, and ensuring that all stakeholders are working cohesively is critical to the board, and the emphasis will also be placed on continued development of grassroots rugby to create future stars and clear talent pathways,” he said.

“My main focus as chairman, though, is to reconnect and strengthen the relationships with member unions and associations and listening to the challenges they face and see how and where FRU can intervene to help fix them. I am not making big promises but I am here to serve and to listen.”

He also revealed that sportswear brand Umbro is the new supplier for all team uniforms for five years, replacing Nike, whose sponsorship contract ended in December 2024.

Sanday said they will continue working with World Rugby and other stakeholders to ensure that during their watch Fiji Rugby develops positively and is in a better place when they complete their terms as a board.

Gun allegedly fired at vehicle from another in Auckland’s Mount Wellington

By 1News Reporters

Two people were taken into custody in Auckland last night after a gun was allegedly fired from one vehicle at another, while a third is accused of driving through a police cordon.

Police said an altercation took place between two groups outside a restaurant on Lunn Ave in Mt Wellington before the two parties separated and got into two vehicles.

Detective Inspector Glenn Baldwin said the occupants of one vehicle allegedly fired a shot towards the other one.

“Both vehicles fled immediately after, however our staff were in the area, and signalled one to stop.”

The other vehicle continued on towards Mt Wellington and was tracked by the police helicopter heading towards Māngere Bridge, where it pulled into a property on Mountain Rd.

The occupants ran through properties and got into another vehicle, Baldwin said.

“The offenders then continued onto the South-Western motorway towards Manurewa and officers attempted to stop it on Puhinui Rd, however, it failed to stop.

“A pursuit ensued towards a Burundi Ave address where two people were arrested, both with gang links.”

A sawn-off shotgun was also located in the vehicle.

While officers were at the scene, another vehicle drove through police cordons and failed to stop when signalled. Baldwin said the driver, who was the partner of one of the arrested men, was also taken into custody.

“We know incidents like this are distressing for the wider community, so these swift arrests by our diligent staff are really pleasing and significant to ongoing public safety.”

He added there was currently no known link to a firearms incident which left a man critically injured in East Auckland later that night.

“We are keeping an open mind at this very early stage.”

A 30-year-old man will appear in Auckland District Court today charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, failing to stop, and intent to cause grievous bodily harm with a firearm.

Expert weighs in after insurer’s refuses payout for Lulutai airlines’ crashed Saab340 Aircraft 

By
Kalino Latu

The insurer for the Lulutai Airlines’ crashed Saab340 aircraft has allegedly denied a payout for the aircraft following a collision at Fua’amotu Airport in December 2023.

The impact rendered the aircraft non-operational and has remained stationary since then.  

As Kaniva News reported earlier this week, Monte Aircraft Leasing, an Australia-based UK company, has claimed ownership of the aircraft.

Tony Frank, the director of Monte, claimed QBE Insurance insured the Saab340 aircraft. 

However, after the crash, Frank also claimed QBE reportedly insisted that the aircraft could be repaired. He said QBE would only provide financial compensation if the repairs were carried out as a prerequisite.  

One year has passed since the crash, yet Lulutai and Monte are in an ongoing battle with QBE, and their request for a replacement aircraft remains unapproved. 

QBE Insurance could not be reached for comment.

While attention turned to Monte and QBE, insurance advisor Semi Halanukonuka suggested that the primary issues may be attributable to Lulutai Airlines. 

With 15 years of extensive experience working at AIA Insurance in New Zealand, Halanukonuka expressed concerns regarding the approval process from the insurer.  

He said that the year passed without any sign of approval led him to conclude that it is increasingly unlikely that any approval will be granted in the foreseeable future. 

Standard Procedure

Halanukonuka said it is standard practice for insurance companies, including QBE, to perform a thorough independent assessment of the aircraft when processing a claim.  

“This assessment typically involves a comprehensive evaluation of the aircraft’s condition, documentation verification, and examination of any relevant incident reports”, he told Kaniva News in Tongan.  

He said this was aimed to ensure an accurate determination of the damage and losses incurred, which ultimately helps in establishing the appropriate compensation for the claim.  

“For example, if they discovered that the aircraft wasn’t serviced on time and that essential mechanical parts, which were due for replacement based on their expiry date, weren’t replaced, they may consider denying the claims”, Halanukonuka said.  

He said that if the insurance experts discovered that the aircraft had operated with damaged parts, they could decline the claims. 

Other possible issues that might force the insurer to consider refusing any claims include receiving incorrect information or false statements or altering the circumstances of the loss, he said.  

“The insurer could also consider that the policy may not cover the loss or damage or there was insufficient proof of the loss or damage”.  

Controversy surrounding Lulutai airlines 

Lulutai Airlines has been a subject of controversy since it was founded in 2020. 

Semi Halanukonuka, an Insurance Advisor for AIA Insurance

 Critics, particularly from the Opposition Party, have consistently raised concerns about the airline’s financial viability.  

They argued that the market in Tonga is too small to sustain such an operation, leading to significant doubts about its profitability.  

The government maintained its position for quite some time, but tensions grew when the king voiced his concerns regarding its involvement in various business ventures.  

He argued that such involvement was inappropriate and that the operation of business enterprises should be the private sector’s responsibility. 

This week, Kaniva News made a surprising revelation regarding the Saab340 aircraft, which many assumed was owned by Lulutai. This information has remained undisclosed since the airline first began operations.  

Monte Aircraft Leasing  

We asked Frank how much Lulutai paid for the lease and whether the airlines is still paying the lease while the aircraft is inoperative. We also asked if we can get a copy of the lease agreement. 

He said he could not release this information to us, citing confidentiality.   

Frank said: “We believe that the aircraft is a constructive loss and Lulutai and Monte have been seeking a payout from QBE for most of this year.    

“However QBE have refused the payout, claiming that the aircraft is repairable and only offering to pay only a small portion of the insured value.  

He said this has caused a huge amount of damage to Tonga’s people, economy, and to Monte’s business.    

“Lulutai and we are continuing to press QBE but more than 12 months after the incident there is still no resolution”. 

The revelations follow a recent report by Kaniva News, which raised questions about the aircraft’s insurance status.   

The article asked whether the aircraft was indeed insured and, if so, why it had been taking approximately 12 months without any replacement being provided.   

In that article, we said we had asked Lulutai CEO Poasi Tei for comment, but he has yet to respond.   

The crash  

The aircraft was heading to the terminal after reportedly experiencing an undesired landing before hitting a cement block on the side of the apron. Following this incident, the plane was rendered inoperative and could not resume normal flight operations. 

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) were in Tongan early last year to assist the Civil Aviation Division’s Chief Investigator’s ongoing investigation of the accident involving the SAAB340 aircraft.   

It follows with a report that the Minister for Infrastructure received an update on the status of the Preliminary Report.   

As Kaniva News reported previously, the preliminary report showed several mechanical issues the aircraft had experienced, including hydraulic fuel loss and other safety problems.    

The report also indicated signs that the aircraft’s flight recorder may have been deliberately disabled.   

Thieves steal $75k worth of safety fences on Auckland’s North Shore

Thieves have stolen $75,000 worth of road safety fences from a suburb on Auckland’s North Shore.

More than 60 panels have been stolen from on top of a newly built retaining wall in Albany, between Silver Moon Road and Gills road.

Around 50 fence panels were stolen at the end of last year and more were taken last week, said Auckland Transport.

“The large black metal pool-like fencing panels would require at least two people to dismantle, and their removal would have required a vehicle and taken a fair amount of time,” they said in a statement.

They said 10 panels were also stolen from a recently repaired site on Glenvar Road in early November.

A total of 76 panels have been stolen from around the North Shore, costing about $75,000.

Upper Harbour local board deputy chairperson Uzra Casuri Balouch said the panels were there for pedestrian safety.

“The appalling theft of these panels has put the public’s safety at risk, as these fences were protecting pedestrians from the drop-off of a steep embankment,” she said in a statement.

“We’re disgusted by the actions of these thieves, and all the thefts have been reported to the New Zealand Police, and the incidents are currently being investigated.”

Getting the fences installed took a lot of effort and advocacy from the community, Balouch said.

“More and more you’re hearing about these things,” she said.

“I don’t know if it’s the cost of living crisis, people are stooping to this behaviour, it’s disappointing.”

A few residents saw the thieves, Balouch said, but they believed they were contractors as they wore high-vis jackets.

Balouch hoped someone would come forward with information.

“They’re not small panels, they will turn up somewhere to be sold, melted, so somebody somewhere, in Auckland or whereever, knows that some stolen panels have arrived.”

Police said they were not immediately aware of reports of stolen fencing, but were looking into reports referenced by Auckland Transport.
