Fiji Water shut down its factory and sent home over 400 workers yesterday after a dispute with government over a 15% Water Resource Tax.

The company reportedly told employees they will see government’s response over the next two days before deciding what further action to take.

The workers have been promised two weeks pay.

But in this game of "chicken", its We The People who will have to live with, and pay for the consequences of Bainimarama's testosterone-induced decisions based on brawn rather than brain.

Killing the last vestiges of foreign exchange earners at this time is a no-brainer not the best of ideas. Primarily when the VAT hikes, it is whispered, were instituted to stave off another devaluation.

The Central Bank sans the illegal and treasonous holiday-maker Sada Reddy mobilizes into action while trying very hard to keep up with appearances that everything is hunky-dory.
