In response to that feeling they've launched Pasifika TV and Radio, a 24/7 Tongan online media platform dedicated to "sharing our stories from our perspective".
Pasifika TV and Radio Director and Broadcaster Sulieni Layt says: "In Australia our Tongan people are not always represented accurately in mainstream media.
"We want to produce programmes that tell our stories from our perspective both in our language and English."
At the moment Pasifika TV and Radio run a Friday night live programme.
