What do you do when you’ve just got $86-million from the taxpayers of Australia to support your budget because you haven’t got enough money yourself? You throw a big party at the GPH for all your ministers to celebrate how stupid the Aussies are and rub it into your own people’s faces that you are all getting big pay rises from August 1 while Fiji’s lowest wage earners get a measly 50 cents an hour.
Sitiveni Rabuka has absolutely no shame. And neither do any of the individuals who turned up to his bizarre “thank you” function for the preening swine of the Coalition who’ve wedged their snouts even further into the trough. Look at them all in their kalavata finery and self-satisfied grins. You paid for this, Fiji. None of them did. You and Australian taxpayers, who foolishly think the money they’ve donated is going to those who need it most. Suckers, all of you.
But where’s Lynda, the resident Queen of Tarts and Chair of the Emoluments Committee that feeds the pigs? No sign of her in the photos on the government’s Facebook page. But looky here. There’s Lynda’s “love rat” ,Aseri, looking rather forlorn with his long-suffering wife, Sainiana. Did someone tell the Minister for Bonking and Weed that Sainiana would be present and to make herself scarce? Who knows? Who cares?
The whole thing is already sordid enough without a catfight that might have brought the party to life but would really underline the fact that this is already like the last days of Rome – a bunch of degenerates sucking on the public teat as if there is no tomorrow. Except that in politics, tomorrow always comes.
Mahendra Chaudhry may be 82 but he has lost none of his ability to go for the political jugular. And the Labour Party leader goes for the throats of Sitiveni Rabuka and his gaggle of misfits in a manner that will have the entire nation on its feet cheering him on. These people are completely bereft not only of shame but even the most basic political judgement. And that includes individuals like Sashi Kiran who used to be advocates for the poor but now show contempt for ordinary people by joining in the excess.
Just when you think the Coalition can’t get any worse, it has a peculiar knack of proving us wrong. In the absence of a formal opposition, these jokers now think they can do whatever they like. But Mahendra Chaudhry is only saying publicly what an entire nation is thinking. That this government that promised to be so much better than its predecessor is, in fact, even worse. And as soon as the people have their say again, the music and the self indulgent partying will come to a crashing halt.
Sitiveni Rabuka speaks of it being “only fitting to break away from the shackles of officialdom and just be ordinary”. Ordinary for these guys is a knees-up at the GPH at your expense while the poorest paid ordinary workers – with their risible 50 cents an hour extra – struggle to put food on the table.
Yes, “good work” Coalition. Greedy pigs led by a Snake.
It’s very awkward that the people who would usually criticize the government now cannot because they’ve compromised themselves for reasons of self interest. Prominent elite have now hitched themselves to this sinking ship. At first they kept everyone in line by saying don’t criticize give them a chance. Then they said don’t criticize or you support FFP. Then they said don’t criticize or we will sue you. What can they say now? Chaudhry also compromised himself and has nothing to lose. Elite have lost reputations but will hang on to slimy Rabuka or they drown. Fiji people are not being served due to self interest and those that are not getting high are leaving.
Politics isn’t rugby or soccer. It’s not about blindly supporting one team. It’s not about only cheering the winning team. It’s about objectively observing and holding accountable politicians whichever political party they are in. Graham and Mahendra seem to be the only people publicly doing so.
I agree in principle. But what we have seen in Fiji is critics who can be right, or clever or even witty but then when they had the chance to do something about it acted in their own self interest. This has shown they really do not give a dam about the national interest. We need to be careful about the critics we listen to as well.
We gonna chase those crazy
Baldheads out of town.
Chase those crazy baldheads out of town.
We build a cabin,
we plant the corn.
Didn’t my people before me.
Slavery for this country, Fiji.
Now you look at me with a scorn and wine.
Then you eat up all my corn and drink wine.
We gonna chase those crazy baldheads.
Build your penitentiary, you build no schools.
Brainwash education to make us the fools.
Drugs has become free for all.
Greed is your reward for our love and ticks.
Telling us of you are God above.
Chase those crazy bunkheads
Here comes the conman,
with 86 million reward.
Coming with his con plan
We won’t take any bribes, we got to stay alive and rule.
We need to chase them all .
Just wait for another election call.
Coat over a bula shirt.
Bula shirt is for Lynda and coat is for Salote.
Sickening!
There is nothing wrong in getting the team together for team thank you, this is always done in the Corporate world as a way to keep the team motivated.
What was wrong was the venue and tax pay funds. The PM should have had this function at his residence on his dime not on a lavish hotel and with tax payer funds.
These types of very silly and not well thoughts out things does show lack of empathy towards the common people who are struggling.
Very poor judgement indeed and the PM needs to changes his advisors and move away from these types of negative press and unforced errors.
Not impressed
Advisors? What advisors? Rabuka does whatever he wants. Which is why precisely three weeks since he said Christopher Pryde should continue to be paid, the DPP’s salary is still suspended. Because he doesn’t want it restored. It is a ruse.
It’s the same with his continuous apologies. He says sorry for “mistakes” but isn’t sorry in the least. Because they are not mistakes. They are deliberate. He preys on the gullibility of iTaukei to accept an “apology” and goes right on doing the same thing.
The PM has emasculated any opposition and now does what he pleases. Which is why the buck for the obscene GPH soirée stops with him. The Snake.
Agree entirely as we have no credible opposition and not a single soul worthy of standing up in the next election… This is what the country has now and for the foreseeable future as I cant see anyone who, in the next two years, will be able to garner anywhere enough support in any other party, or have time to form a credible party, to even look like being a chance in the next election….. sad but true…..
Cometh the hour, cometh the men and women capable of leading. And if they don’t come forward in 2026, Fiji has the government it deserves.
As always at the end of the day the people decides and they will get a chance to decide come 2026.
All those who are presently critics need to stand up and offer their services and not just bark from the sidelines as if they want change then they have to get up and offer their services otherwise as you rightfully say you get the government you deserve.
I am 70 years old and white. If you don’t mind, I’ll just continue to bark from the sidelines.
And no one cares what ever deveptive mr. Facade does.
Voters have their heads buried deep in the goligoli sand with their stinking collective rear orifices fouling Fiji.
The man on the street and in every village will give their unsought opinions about rugby for hours on end. All while preaching racist hate.
For them, the state of the country is too “sensitive” to talk about.
Except when it comes to “strengthing” itaukei land rights. Oh, and preserving the culture of lotu, drugs, lotu, rape, lotu robbery.
This is who we are, everyone else can go to hell. What a farce.
Well there’s a 78 year old running for President of United States and one at 81 just pulled out of the race so you at 70 still a spring buck compared to them.
Rajiv, I don’t think your average Fijian would vote for a white spring buck however much spring I have in my step. But certainly willing to assist a potential new force cut through. God knows we need one. Because this is a disaster.
You think? You’re a genius man.
So, Rajiv, as devoted. nfp lackey, when do you plan to stop barking from the sidelines and offer your “services” -whatever that means.
There is nothing wrong with people voicing opinions in the only credible forum available. The Fiji media is dead. Most opinions are of substance as they relate to Fiji politics, economy, integrity, judiciary, rule of law, and governance -or a lack thereof.
Be nice if you could stfu for once in a while. Try it.
Like GD says it’s not compulsory reading so my comments are not a compulsory reading so if you don’t like what I always have to say just don’t read my comments and you will rest in peace.
I have already contributed and served but not in the political arena but at grassroots, started businesses, created jobs, given back to the community and have provided funds to the poor to help in their education.
Dum asses like you stoop low and use words like “stfu”
rs: do not read this.
The purpose of my remarks was simply to express am opinion, not to get the attention of an idiotic demonstrable fcukwit. However, it seems to have worked like a charm. Spectacularly.
Dimwitted fijians as rs and his ilk are half the reason we are where we are as a country. Blind support for baimaan and his lowdown nfp cahoots, come hell or high water. And then the demontrable fcuk wit tries to be pretentious playing both sides. Boasting about your deeds is not what doing good is about.
Switching gears for something more concerning. We cannot ignore the shambolic state of government. As matter of fact Nfp and baimaan have betrayed the voters including the very poor who can not afford butter, forget lamb chops. Noodles, bread, and tea are real daily dinners for the poor.
Baimaan made many grand promises campaigning to lift the level of poverty, bring food prices down, stop goverment accesses, retire the begging bowl, stem the tide of rising debt, raise minimum wage to $6, stop cronyism, and corruption.
Baimaan said he’d NEVER work with any coup makers. Yet here he is shamelessly embracing a traitor, treasonous x2 thug, mutiny organizer, serial adulterer, serial liar, indo-fijian hating, senile old thug responsible for causing so much grief, hurt, and harm to one community, calling them vulgai, removing them from civil service, diplomatic corps, and statutory boards. All in the name of itaukei supremacy. While baimaan twiddle’s his thumb. Has no gumption to use nfp seats to restore some degree of sensibility and fairness in government.
Baimaan shamelessly lines his pockets as he carries the water for this treasonous thug slr. He begs donor agencies and countries for ‘support’ and then has the nerve to publicly celebrate with a grand banquet rubbing the poor voters noses into the ground.
No shame from baimaan in girmit-granting $200,000 to his wife (no accounting), granting $5m to LA lackey for ‘geo tech school,’ (where?) appointing LA buddies to FSC, ambassadorship, statutory boards.
Baimaan outdid his shamless self by strategically ‘opposing’ the huge unprecedented pay and benefits increases among themselves, including duty free cars, luxury housing, luxury furniture for the speaker (for doing what?) and gutless leader of the oposition. They all continue unlimited business class travel (same airline he said was ‘sinking’), UN per diem rates, 5-star hotels and meals, call girl in dehli hotel, sexting married women.
Wiping out student loans, granting billionare a 7-year tax holiday via the self-interested farcical fiscal review committee, VAT increase, rising debts, soaring inflation, cronyism to appoint statutory boards, FSC, economic advisor in finance ministry (for a so-called professor).
Baimaan riled against the previous goverment for years about access spending, unaccounted public funds, etc.
And now he is behaving in exactly the same manner, even worse. No longer can he use ‘but, but the last 16 years’ for his inept handling of finances and the economy.
The above and much more are the real issues being ignored by goverment. There is no relief in sight for the suffering people. What a cluster fcuk.
Tired of the nfp BS by the nitwit proxies espousing all that is good is be ause of baimaan and anything bad still belongs to the previous group. Find solutions. Stop the BS.
So yeah, never give up an opportunity to stfu.
Mangiti is the very downfall of itaukei people.
That’s the name Sulu vaka taqa.
Taqa is made to put hand in pockets and hold qalanas, because there’s no money.
All gone to,
Funerals ,
Weddings ,
Birthdays ,celebrations .
You name it !
Rabuka and party are so conceited that they are unperturbed by the socio-economic stranglehold they’ve engineered on the people.
They have become the joke of epic proportions to treat themselves to a soiree for basically doing f*ĉƙ-all for the people.
It’s not an easy job to give yourself a raise by fu*king the people over. Hence the party.
Applause, Applause, Up Yours !!!!!
Graham, Facebook Meta just removed a link of this article I posted on my Facebook page.
Yes, those great champions of free speech at Meta. Fortunately the world is waking up to their poisonous influence on everything.
Spot on GD. It is clear the Coalition treats the country with utmost contempt and carry on with their usual greed, inefficiency and blatant disregard to the basic tenets of good governance and leadership, regardless of what everyone says or perceives.
And supported by countries like Australia which is in bed with the GOF, and will go to any length just to ensure that China doesn’t get both feet in. Great time in the current geopolitics to play one against the other, and maximise the loots.
Why would Rabuka care when he has lap dogs like Biman Prasad to bark on his behalf and threaten Chaudhry for his leadership. Of course BCP cannot match up to MCP’s credentials, so goes personal and completely off track. What an insult to his Professorship?
Now the MPs can even take more trips and comeback with tonnes of personal stuff given the unlimited duty free entitlement and escape the rising cost of living in the country, brought upon by the senseless polices of the current mob.
There is no opposition so they can have a field day. Get ‘legally’ what Sitiveni Rabuka and his bunch of ethno-nationalists set out to achieve in 1987, this time aided by the likes of Biman Prasad destroying the very fabric of what used to be the NFP.
Do you not know that native Fijians will continue to vote for Sitiveni? Native Fijians don’t care what Fiji turns into. As long as a Native Fijian representing Native Fijians is the Prime Minister and the President of Fiji, Native Fijians are happy. The only concern for Native Fijians is to make sure Indians leave Fiji forever.
You are not wrong.
It is like Fiji Rugby, it is exclusively for the iTaukei. They have done a wonderful job of keeping the Indians away. That is the plan for the rest of Fiji. But all the Indian gorg dopeys of Fiji are not aware. They are totally oblivious because they voted for this dickhead, knowing well that he is a dickhead. I do not beleiev they were fooled, they are fools, led by Biman, the top notch fool.
Rabuka should have hosted this junket in the grounds of CWM Hospital to see for themselves the state the hospital is in. All current MPs, and there is no exception have no shame …. I feel sick. Where were the so called main media and Straight Talkers calling for accountability? I guess they were all invited as well to take those pics for them!
Nice of you to write the full lyrics of Bob Marley’s iconic song “Crazy Bald Head”.
Very apt indeed for this current lot of greedy pig’s…especially that military madman bald head leading them.
He has been treating my people with a scorn ever since 1987..and he thinks we don’t know it..or at least some of us do!
Wish more of the people would take heed of Marley’s songs and lyrics seriously.
Jah Live!
Where’s the forever silent LOO? In the loo! Leader of Opposition is gagged by his pay rise.
Vinaka MPC, keep at it!
He will be remembered very fondly the PM, by all those who are benefitting from the big treats and the handouts.
The Parable of the Shrewd Prime Minister…being kind and generous on his way out….to count on favors when he is no longer in power once ousted by the people for his mismanagement.
Sick and rotten to the core!
But hey great majority of my very own iTaukei brothers and sisters are happy to have them in power!
That is right! As long as the Indians are kept out, who gives a f*ck about what else is happening in the country. We will just complain and go to church. Wake up tomorrow and do the same. We will do that until all vulagi leave. Then? We will cross that bridge when we come to it. Then we will be like PNG. Because this is our country and we do things our way! The right way! God is on our side. Our PM talks to God every morning.
Hi Mr Davis
Kindly notify Australian Parliament Including Opposition and PMs office about all these wastages by Fijis Coalition Government. Only you have the guts and capability to stop all these nonsense.
Would the electorate be more matured in 2026 is the question to recognize the deception of the current lot. It’s a wait and watch game.
Australia is making it difficult for the FBI to migrate or even study but continues to fund the government for their excesses.
Anyway looking at these shameless baskets I am at a loss for words. Look at them preening especially the women. But the itaukei will not change. Their utter belief in these people is incredible even though they are eating chow noodles.
I wonder if Inia and the rebels are scratching their heads at not being invited.
‘Will the electorate be more mature’ — do you mean the electoral is mature now, and hope to be ‘more’ mature in 2026?
Not a chance. When pigs fly. When hell freeze’s over. 95% of itaukei including the 75% of 238,000 living in abject poverty are hard core racist bigots hell bent on thumbing their humble, christian, lost tribe noses at the vulagi. Suicidal lot.
As I posted earlier the PM hosted a lavish dinner for all Ministers, Assistant Ministers and their spouses to thank them for their service. The dinner being held at the Grand Pacific Hotel, one of the most expensive places in Suva!
This is a country that is seeking grants from countries like Australia to prop up their budget! They talk about fiscal responsibility and then conduct these sought of actions. What a load of bullshit. They are a total failure as a Government!
Perhaps the Australian media should make Australia’s taxpayers and tourists aware of what their money is being used for! I very much doubt the Fiji media will say a word nor will the very silent Womens collectives!
Why is this a surprise? Aseri and Lynda were busy exploring each other while breaking the bedhead on taxpayers money so this latest act of wastage is a drop in the ocean.
crazy…most of people are living below poverty line and not able meet basic needs PLUS INFLATION ON THE RISE…SAD DAY FOR FIJI…these very ministers/Govt taking loans and donations to feed themselves to party and get PAYRISE for themselves…SHAME ON THEM
Ok Mr GD, so the facts are there for all to see, no issues. However, the million dollar question is, “what is the solution?” 2026 is so far, and by the time this government is booted out of town there will be no money but a ballooning debt. Rabuka does what he does and he’s a very good snake in the grass at it. My 2 cents worth is that the people have got to rise and voice their rightful concerns about this rabble of greedy politicians draining the public purse. If we continue to remain silent then we are being complicit.
….the million dollar question is, “what is the solution?” 2026 is so far….
Here’s are some baseline novel-if not alien, suggestions before we even begin to worry about solutions:
1. Follow the rule of law
2. 2013 Constitution is THE LAW
3. Reverse all illegal judiciary appointments
4. Follow the rule of law
5. Ensure fair and equal justice for all – no exceptions.
6. Stop racism, bigotry, and hate.
7. Stop demonizing the vulagi; stop with the ethnic cleansing of civil service.
8. Embrace pluralism of our people, diversity is a strength..
9. Be specific when saying “we need to change the constitution,” state the what exactly has to
change and why, offer alternatives/solutions.
11. Follow. The. Rule. Of. Law
Please share your opinions. Otherwise we will have yet another constitution ‘shoved down our throats.’
What a change people have voted themselves into. Greedy pigs enjoying and filling their pockets. These clowns need to be voted out and whole lot of them investigated and charged for abuse of office, corruption and breach of constitution and thrown into prison..
And the farce is outside nations will continue financing with no strings attached. Isn’t this good politics as far is Fiji is concerned – kana nikua, raica mataka and exploit the geopolitical opportunities. If the govt had earned something fairly, the story & optics would be more acceptable. Feeding off begging is immoral & so unethical. This shows Fiji has regressed big time and at mercy of others. Where is our strategic leadership to position Fiji for the future? One who pays the piper dictates the tune!
Have some respect for the sake of our country & our people our leaders? We are shrouded in shame as a beggar nation and sadly, we don’t see a way out of it! A morality
check pls?
Aus, I hope the damage you are doing to Fiji by freely financing bad behaviour and giving oxygen to a culture that is being set up to fail. Aus taxpayers have many reasons not to feel amused.
God bless Fiji
Pity…time really isn’t MPC’s friend….. Look no further than he for patriotism at its finest!!!👍🙂
Another stupid half ar$ Biman threatens MC with a legal action. The question raised by MC was valid. When will Baimaan provide accountability of the girmit day funds. The public is waiting.
Well, baimaan has the means to sue, if you know what I mean.
Thin-skinned baimaan complained loudly and often about the previous lot being dictators and not allowing freedom of expression and always threatened opponents with lawsuits and/or arrest.
Now that he has power, and best mates with that bully tavu fella, he wants to do the exact same thing.
Even if bully tavi insulted the entire indo-fijian women of labasa by saying all of them had low morals and were famous for being promiscuous.
Remember that baimaan?
I’m so angry about this because most of us are having a hard time paying staff, paying taxes and bills and keeping the lights on!
Do excuse me Graham and readers but I have to say a big F*#K YOU!!! to all those greedy pigs and hypocrites!
If and when that time does come, just remember to tell your British slave driver’s to compensate and make reparations to all the vulagis for developing the country over the many decades.
Our ancestor’s blood and sweat will then not be in vain then.
After that you all are welcome to become the slaves of the communist Chinese who can then teach you all how to develop your village’s Chinese style.
After all the GCC are a communal bunch themselves.
A delegation recently returned from a free trip to China to learn how to develope their village’s.
It has always been Immunity Rabuka’s agenda since 1987 to replace the vulagis with the Chinese communists!
That is becoming a reality in case you haven’t noticed.
Just remember to make the reparations and compensations when that time comes!!
Why were Indians brought from India to Fiji? Simply to develop Fiji coz the British knew there is no scope with the lazy lot available! Come on guys, dont waste time trying to get sense in that shitty heads coz its futile.
The economy can only flourish when Agriculture being the base industry does well just like in the time of the Late Ratu Mara. How do you think infrustructure like roads, airports, seaports and many others were built?Surely it was through agriculture.
But no, my land is too precious to be cultivated and be used for greater good. So dont bother electoral poll, vote with your feet coz there is nothing one can do if the base industry is stagnant coz of these lazy lot. Keep your land and take it with you to God!
