I am so pleased to see this blog. As on...Hi there. I am so pleased to see this blog. As one who is pasionate about Fiji, I have today just started a blog to lend support to the Fijian people...<BR/><BR/>http://teejayforafreefiji.blogspot.com/2009/04/free-fiji.html<BR/><BR/>As the oppression kicks in even further it is imperative that everything that is done is quantified. Please let's tell the world about the military and what tthey are doing to the beautiful Fijian people. I have been involved in politics in Australia over the years and have stood as a candidate in two Federal elections, standing for a minor party, the Australian Democrats. I am passionate about democracy and the freedom of speech.<BR/><BR/>Please, let us all work together in exposing the criminals who have usurped Fiji's democracy. <BR/>Tom.Teejay For a Free Fijihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14442197357858553846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745785272753572871.post-25388833168874123532009-04-13T18:57:00.000+12:002009-04-13T18:57:00.000+12:00This is an extract of an extract on solivakasamaTH...This is an extract of an extract on solivakasama<BR/><BR/>THE TRUTH FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS<BR/><BR/>by the former Minister of Foreign Affairs - Australia, The Hon. Alexander Downer***<BR/><BR/>Two of Fiji’s politiciaans - if you could call them that - are particularly nasty.<BR/><BR/>One is the former prime minister, Mahendra Chaudry. <BR/><BR/> The coup came in 2006. There we were desperately trying to stop the coup and who was out there undermining our efforts? None other than Mahendra Chaudry. Chaudry subsequently became the so-called finance minister in the new dictatorshiip.<BR/><BR/>The other nasty piece of work is Bainimarama, This man is, to be a little rude, a clown. I know him moderately well. He’s irrational, a crank who thinks only he can lead the country and without any knowledge of policy issues. Far from saving the country, he’s wrecking it.<BR/><BR/>Bainimarama came to the 2007 Pacific Island Forum professing he would uphold the Fijian constitution and hold elections by March 2009. Under questioning from the then New Zealand prime minister Helen Clark and me, he revealed that he’d never even read the constitution.<BR/><BR/>Last week, the Fiji Court of Appeal said his coup was illegal and demanded that a new interim government be established pending further electiions. So what did the power-crazed dictator do? Sacked all the judges and abolished the constitution he’d never read! Now Fiji has no judges, no constitution and a leader wih no common sense or common decency.ex Fiji touristnoreply@blogger.com
