Inquiry into Australian bus company after Tongan woman left stranded

The Ministry told Kaniva News an inquiry was underway after the bus broke down in Miriam Vale 467 kilometres north of Brisbane and its replacement left without Tongan worker Sofia Filo, 30, of Ma’ufanga.

Internal Affairs CEO ʻAna Bing Fonua, said they had a meeting with the group leader on Wednesday last week in Tonga and some of the group members on Thursday.

Fonua said she met with Filo on Friday as part of their inquiry after Kaniva News reported that Filo was left stranded.
