AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Rugby League: Tonga edged Samoa 20–18 in a gripping World Cup clash, booking a semi-final against New Zealand and delivering a landmark moment for Pasifika pride. Fan Safety: Celebrations in South Auckland led to nine disorder-related arrests, while police in Tauranga issued fines after Tongan and Samoan supporter convoys blocked intersections and raised road-safety concerns. Drought and Water: Tonga is facing worsening water shortages as El Niño strengthens; five drought-insurance payouts are helping support the country’s response. Whale Tourism: Tonga’s government has warned whale-watching operators over reports of tourists diving near or touching humpbacks, raising concerns about rule-breaking and pressure on the industry. Women’s Livelihoods: Tapa-making groups in Haveluliku and Fatumu received a machine to ease bark preparation and support income-earning while preserving traditional craft.
