"Caught with his pants down", "entangled in his … [Read more...] about # JUDGING FROM THIS ASTONISHING VERBAL ASSAULT, THE 2026 ELECTION CAMPAIGN IS GOING TO BE MORE BRUTAL THAN LYNDA’S ROGERING IN ROOM 233
# WHY IS MANOA KAMIKAMICA IN DUBAI? THE PRIME MINISTER, FOR ONE, WOULD LIKE TO KNOW
We now know that seven members of the government - the Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka, and six of his ministers - were overseas on the Fiji Day weekend. But there is an eighth we don't know about.

# SITIVENI RABUKA’S BIG EFF YOU TO FIJI ON THE 55TH ANNIVERSARY OF INDEPENDENCE
It simply beggars belief that as the Opposition calls for him to remove the corrupt Chief Justice, Salesi Temo, the Prime Minister is not only unmoved but inflicts Temo on the nation as Acting President for the Independence Day commemorations in Suva.
