Douglas Ete (born 4 August 1964[1]) is a Solomon Islands politician.

After studying at the University of the South Pacific and at Massey University (New Zealand), he worked as Chief Executive Officer at the National Referral Hospital in Solomon Islands.

[2] His career in national politics began when he was elected to Parliament as the member for East Honiara in the 4 August 2010 general election, standing for the Reformed Democratic Party.

The police investigated the incident, but stated Ete and Dettke had not been present at the scene of the shooting, and had therefore not been shot at.

[8][9] The police then released a media statement describing Dettke and Ete's claim as "incorrect and misleading".
