HMAS Canberra is not currently in Nuku'alofa but a local media report indicates she has done the right thing. A large portion of the relief supplies recently brought to Tonga was water, thousands of litres of drinking water in plastic containers. Australia with some foresight did the right thing, they sent two plastic waste compressors which were put into use immediately. Volunteers collected the plastic and several large bales of the stuff were last week uplifted by Canberra. I think we can assume it won't be a Cunard dish-up but will be returned to 'stralia for recycling. Thank you Oz.
