Fiji Must Have a Judiciary: Gates

Injustice Tony Gates makes more of fool of himself by publicly refusing to bow down to the diplomatic tit-for-tat against Australia and New Zealand and the visa saga. He must be really desperate to bring in some credibility to his bench.

Here is the key phrase a'la Gaytes:

"Fiji must have a judiciary. And it is not for Australia and New Zealand to tell us we cannot have one or to tell us who we are to appoint. No international convention allows such a supervisory role to a neighboring state.”

Yes Fiji must have a judiciary but it cannot be a judiciary that has time and again shown it's hand at judicial activism, and affinity for the military regime. It is also a judiciary that the people must find credible. At present it does not.

Australia and New Zealand have every right as democratic countries to point out our failings because we are not democratic and Bainimarama is hell-bent on destabilizing the Pacific region.

Injustice Gaytes must be getting rattled because his new illegal Sri Lankan converts must be feeling a tad bit jittery.


Post-script: Living and working under media censorship must be so dry that journo's decide to add colour and vigour to otherwise mundane news. For example did you ever imagine you'd see the words "Booty Call" as a headline?

Labour Mafia & Military Regime Are Still As Thick As Thieves

In case you believed for a minute all the lies from Mahendra Chaudhry about the FLP turning a new leaf, it's a cover up.

And their most refined attack on fellow blogsters coup4.5 with this one is a case in point.

But today they show their hand.

Dr Ganesh Chand, a staunch Labour supporter is announced as head of the new National University of Fiji which amalgamates the Fiji School of Agriculture, Fiji College of Advanced Education, Lautoka Teachers College, Fiji School of Nursing, Fiji School of Medicine and Fiji Institute of Technology.

Under Chand's current leadership the Fiji Institute of Technology is already bursting at the seams with students who resort to eating lunch mixed with car exhaust fumes on the main roads leading to Edinburgh Drive. If that is what Chand deem's as quality education, we can express only horror at the "other" aspects of quality education this new Uni will churn out.

Let's also not forget that we already have 2 other universities running in this country -- the University of the South Pacific and the University of Fiji -- all of which depend on resources from the military government.

The University of Fiji is in itself an institution with strong Labour links and even closer ties to the current illegal Minister for Education, Filipe Bole.

We had predicted in February this year that something was amiss in the higher education sector and we also alluded that the USP may well become a whipping boy for retaliating against the Pacific region.

We will continue to watch these developments very closely.

Bainimarama tells Driti to "Take A Break"

Gosh. Driti is as thick as a plank if he's not getting the crystal-clear hint from Bainimarama.

The fullah say's "he's been under a lot of pressure being home with everything that's going on". Translation: he's wilting under pressure and has now become a LIABILITY to the military regime.

Sayonara Drits. You're not the first and certainly not the last of individuals who's use-by dates have expired in the military regimes eye's....and you better pass that message on to those like Injustice Tony Gates who think they'll be part of the inner circle forever.

Fiji’s Land Force Commander Driti told to take break in Iraq
Posted at 23:44 on 02 November, 2009 UTC

Fiji’s Land Force Commander, Colonel Pita Driti, says he has been told by the Military Commander, Commodore Frank Bainiamrama, to take a break.

Colonel Driti is to join Fiji troops on mission in Iraq for six months.

He says it wasn’t his personal choice, but that it’s a posting he is happy about:

“I think I’ve undergone a lot of pressure being home with everything that’s going on, so my boss decided, you go and have a break, just go the Middle East and be there as contingent commander, six months, take a good break and then come back.”

Colonel Driti says he expects to return to his position as Land Force Commander at the end of his deployment.

He does not think his position within the military has been undermined in any way.

This is what Coup Coup Coup Coup Land looks like today

Despite the public assertions of the illegal central bank chief -- Sada Reddy -- that the global financial crisis was to blame for our economic woes OVER minor impacts of the "annulment of Fiji's constitution and strict media censorship"...the evidence now comes to a head and cannot be denied.

The beginning's of food riots. Did you think you'd ever see the day of this happening in Fiji?

Welcome to the face of coup-coup-coup-coup land.

Food dispute turns bloody
Tuesday, November 03, 2009

AN argument over food rations supplied to cane labourers ended in a stabbing incident after a labourer demanded more food from the cane farmer.

The incident has left the family of Uma Dutt and the farming community of Kawakawavesi in Seaqaqa in fear.

Mr Dutt's family watched as the labourer attacked him and a colleague with an iron rod on Sunday evening.

He was stabbed on the left side of his head, his left hand and ear.

He was admitted to the Seaqaqa Hospital on Sunday night and sent to Labasa Hospital for an X-ray yesterday.

Mr Dutt's brother, Kishore Lal, said he had to shift the family to another house for their safety on Sunday night.

Police said the case was being investigated and the accused, believed to be the leader of a cane harvesting gang from Naravuka Village in Seaqaqa, Macuata, had been questioned.

Mr Lal said the team of 10 labourers from Naravuka were camped outside Mr Dutt's house.

"My brother's wife gave the headman their supply of food on Sunday afternoon for them to cook for their dinner," he said.

"She gave them four potatoes, two packets of noodles and a can of tinned fish but he didn't like it and confronted my brother who had just returned from the farm.

"He asked my brother why the supply of food was little and my brother told him that it was enough but he demanded for more and the two argued."

Mr Lal said the labourer punched his brother but Mr Dutt dodged his fist.

"The man then took an iron rod lying on the ground and stabbed my brother on the left side of his head, left hand and ear.

"He also threatened my brother's family and told them he would kill them because of my brother."

Mr Lal said they had to shift the family to another house after the stabbing incident because the victim's wife and daughters could no longer stay there on their own.

National Farmers Union north officer Surendra Lal called on the labourers and farmers to work together and discuss issues instead of resorting to unnecessary actions.
