The video is a real eye opener. With prostitution and drug abuse rampant in Fiji, this video really tells it like it is and the true state of affairs at the ground level in Fiji.
The collision government is too busy with changing the constitution. The main priority is to get rid of Sayed-Khaiyum’s constitution.
As for the most pressing issues grappling the nation – HIV, escalating drug crises, rising poverty, deteriorating law and order situation, rotten governance, dilapidated infrastructure, shambolic medical care and health system, ethnic cleansing, brain drain, etc – these all can wait. Since those pressing national issues aren’t a ‘priority’ in comparison to the main agenda of the collision government which is for constitutional amendments.
They are acting as it the HIV and drugs crisis don’t exist.
The PM’s focus now is smooth talking and spin-doctoring as observed by Jale Moala, with Lady Lyndah possibly having a new hand in the rebranding of Rabuka:
𝗥𝗘𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗢𝗪 𝗗𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚?
If you’ve been following PM Rabuka’s speech in Parliament this week, you’ll notice a shift from the reactive, storytelling of 2023 and towards a world of high-concept political philosophy.
The new language is polished and rhythmic. It’s a clear attempt to rebrand the coup leader into a more confident statesman by using phrases more familiar in the halls of power in London or New York than in the dusty corridors of Suva’s Government Buildings.
Rabuka’s speech is now structured, visionary, and a world away from the boring PR blunders of the past.
An old dog like me would still have steered him away from lecturing us on democracy, but this is a different time and a different audience. Most people registered to vote in the coming election were born after his first coup in 1987; they are hearing the music of his words, not the history of his actions.
So, who is the handler of this magic pen? Is it new Minister for Information Lynda Tabuya in partnership with her new Permanent Secretary, Eseta Nadakuitavuki? Or did a wordsmith slip in quietly from overseas to join the PM’s media team?
■ Is the attempt at rebranding hitting the mark, or is it just better window dressing?
■ What do you think?
Just like drugs, we are making general statements of the victims/perpetrators of these scourges. We need the whole of Government and societal interventions. So therefore, identify communities/ethnicities who are victims so you can have targeted approach in eradicating these pandemics. We need FBO, CSO Government and other social institutions such as the GCC to intervene.

Yet, the iTaukei government will do nothing.
