An Inquiry team member who investigated tax evasion allegations against Mahendra Chaudhry said they have made independent decisions without any pressure from anyone.

Former Deputy Prime Minister in the SVT government Taufa Vakatale said it is just not right for people like Laisenia Qarase, Mick Beddoes and Pramod Rae to say that she has a tarnished reputation because she was a member of the suspect Human Rights Commission 2006 Election Inquiry.

Vakatale said these politicians are also making ridiculous statements like she is pro labour.
