The Press on Mercury Energy

The Press editorial yesterday compares what is happening with Mercury Energy to the Salem witch trials:

There is an uncomfortable sense of potentially inconvenient facts being trampled down before they can have an airing. If there is any “justice” at play here, it is the type pioneered in Salem a few hundred years ago.

Probably the safest bet about the circumstances surrounding Folole Muliaga’s death is that there will be more to it than has so far been clear. The Government, the Prime Minister and all those grandstanding should now pull back and let the full truth be found – not the version of it which best suits any wider agenda.

Hear hear.
