From , 5:00 am on 10 December 2020

Tongans living outside Tonga will this weekend, get their say on what sort of democracy should prevail in their home country.

A national dialogue on democracy and development is being held in Mangere in South Auckland on Saturday.

Its organiser, Malakai Koloamatangi, ran a similar event in Tonga just before the snap election there in 2017.

He told Don Wiseman this is a chance for members of the Tongan diaspora to have their say.
