This woman slept with another minister metres from where that minister’s wife was sleeping during an official parliamentary visit to Victoria. There is also evidence of drug taking on her part.
She lied to the Prime Minister when he asked her if she had had an affair and he, in turn, lied to the nation.
Removing her as deputy leader of the PAP is a pathetically inadequate response to an unprecedented scandal at the top of any government in Fijian political history. She has been found guilty by the PAP’s disciplinary committee and is patently unfit to be Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection. So the Prime Minister must remove her forthwith.
Failure to do so will call into question his own judgment and destroy his credibility and that of the Coalition.
Prime Minister, just do it or face a blowtorch in the court of public opinion unlike anything Fiji has ever seen. Your own standing in the community and your future as leader, as well as your place in history, now lies in the balance.
For God’s sake sack her! What are you waiting for Mr Prime Minister?
She is the worst role model ever for the women and children of Fiji.
Failure to do so condones her actions and conduct unbecoming of a Government Minister.
The people of Fiji deserve more and are waiting!
Stand her down from all Government portfolios. The PM is again put on notice here. We don’t want thug women and men.
Tabuya is an absolute disgrace for all women leaders and our girls.
I want to see how fast her sheep run for the hills. Moce Jo.
Thank you Grubsheet and Fijileaks.
Fiji media is officially crucified today.
FBC is finally doing something.
But don’t go too hard looking for her.
Ask Amit Bhai.
Must be visiting him for advice to manipulate the spineless media.
Looks to be like the resident “Moses” cannot make firm decisions. This half baked sacking as Deputy Leader while she continues as Minister and the sex and drugs can continue. What sort of message does that send? Moses is obviously saving his own behind with the help of the vulagi God from Israel. God knows best!
I think the PAP management board side stepped this whole ‘hearing’—they passed the buck to SLR. Truth of the matter missed by many PAP could’ve simply asked for LTs resignation altogether, if not thrown her out for the disgrace and damage LT caused. And let the chips fall where they may. End of. But no, they found wiggle room to kick the can down the road for SLR to decide. SLR had a hard enough time getting Aseri out the way. LT is his pet!
Sadden by the situation involving LT. When holding high public office, personal matters become everyone’s concern and people in leadership roles will always be under constant scrutiny. She cannot hold on to her position as the Minister for Woman, Children and Social Protection. It’s got to be the back bench for naughty girls.
It is not personal if she is bonking another minister while on a ministerial trip abroad and on tax payer funded trip.
There is expected ethics.
Live by it or leave.
All Fiji MPs must learn that now.
Some decisive action is needed to salvage any remaining credibility for the FijiGovt. The leadership is tested here to lead our country out of the current joke in terms of commanding respect & professionalism. History will not forgive dodging ourselves from the actual issues and the responsibility and accountability to win back some long lost confidence among our people. We ask our leader to take some decisive decisions that paves a way to credibility and respect in the leadership. A soft outcome will set the wrong example for us all. The precedent will spawn other such transgressions and can potentially, further complicate Fiji’s future and standing on the international stage.
All fingers crossed!
Thank you GS for persevering to enlighten us and your attempts to correct our practice by nudging ways to improve democracy, accountability etc. Our country, our people deserve better!
At the very least, send her to the back bench with her lover. There is no way she should remain a minister!
She wanted you gone Graham but here we are.
Smile all she can.
Nothing is saving her this time.
Grubsheet has a better platform now than Facebook.
Let that be a reminder to all corrupt government leaders.
Yes, she must go, completely.
More importantly, she should have never been appointed in the first place!
It’s time for some strong, credible leadership in Fiji.
Thank you Grubsheet for your good work.
Lynda, March is the month to celebrate women.
We have a come a long way to go down any hole or high way with you.
You don’t represent us.
You don’t represent our daughters.
You have brought us nothing but drama, discomfort and no decency.
PAP, thank you.
Now that she is not your leader she can step down from the Cabinet. I am sure your code of ethnic requires her to do so.
Fully agree Graham! She needs to go. Baffled with Shamima’s support for such a characterless woman.
And she speaks of men of tainted character sitting in Govt yet she supported them strongly to come in power.
Says a lot about her.
She knew all along that she wasn’t fired after PAP Meeting. She continued travelling overseas, to Kadavu during working hours, posting garbage on Facebook etc
Removing her as Deputy Leader is only fooling the nation.
Stand her down now PM.
Everyone knew that she will sink this boat and believe me she will.
Fiji has seen enough of her already.
It’s time to let her go or you go as PM. The ball is in your court.
The challenge that we in Fiji encounter concerning standards is that they are not applicable to everyone alike.
Until standards, for instance, that are applicable to public officials or to “people” paid by our taxes are uniform and hold each of these people accountable and responsible to the office that they occupy, we will continue to entertain expedient solutions that are, to say the very least, frivolous, self-serving, and which primarily makes an ongoing mockery of the the faith that ordinary people have in being governed sensibly.
Shouldn’t the President of Fiji call for an independent investigation into when our PM was first aware of these images and evidence. Looks like he has been sitting on this for a while.
The Honourable Tabuya should have been expelled from the Party and lost her seat in Parliament for this, losing the deputy leadership confirms the finding of guilt, and is a death knell politically, but is not going far enough as punishment- I wonder who stopped that move. At the very least she should now be sacked as a Minister and relegated to the back bench, as she likely does not have the character to do the honourable thing and step down. If Rabuka does not sack her from Cabinet it confirms all the signs pointing at him being a weak, indecisive old man. It would also suggest that she has something incriminating to hold over him, as he sacked Radrodro supposedly for far less. All in all, a terrible time for the government, and one that needs to end with decisive action on the part of the PM. The people are watching.
She has been in violation of the code of conduct of Govt. Her position is untenable and she must be removed asap.
There’s no pussy-footing around. The rules must apply equivocally to all else there’s no credibility.
PM, pls do the right thing for the sake of the women and children of this country.
And boycott inviting this woman to any of the IWD events.
First things first.
I believe PAP has made the right decision to expel her from the Dep Party Leader post. Good decision.
There are two other parties in the Coalition govt. You all need to act fast on agreeing to remove her from the ministerial position.
Writing is on the wall.
First, give her a chance to resign. One day is long enough. Any politician with any decency left would not continue to put the party in this position and resign asap. Why is this desperate adulteress and drug user still holding on? Is she waiting for a miracle that will never come?
If she lacks that simple decency to do the right thing for her country, then sack her.
Opposition, where art thou?
I believe that in this instance the PM and Tabuya have both failed Fiji. PAP should remove them both given that they both knew and decided to hide this. Meanwhile, both benefitted from taxpayer funded salary and enjoying extravagant lifestyles.
How can any Fijian citizen trust this party and the government in all that they are doing that is highly questionable? Good that Graham is exposing a lot of this with Fijileaks. No one else can hold the corrupt in this country accountable.
I also want to know why the Police has not charged Tabuya for sharing the video of the child who was abused while the child was under the Government’s care. That is breaking all expected standards in the country that is a signatory to children’s right. She has failed miserably. Fiji Police doesn’t need a report on that. They saw what happened. Their job is to lay charges.
No one is taking the abuse on children seriously. Not Save the Children Fiji and not FWCC. These CEOs should stand down from their positions as they too fast to talk down at men but not their own woman leader.
Truly shocked that she still remains as Minister. What a travesty
Sex, drugs and now it’s time to “rock n roll” or perhaps that’s already happened? Honestly, this is not the biggest scandal of this administration. The real scandal and the harm are the decisions of the Fiscal Review Committee that have decided to punish the poorest and reward the richest. Fiji’s economy is being strangled. The last lot were strangling it slowly but this lot seem more in favour of a quick death for Fiji’s economy.
Why have you not sacked her Prime Minister?
Because you don’t possess the balls to do so? Or is because she has something on you, perhaps? Either way the Prime Minister may be seen by a growing number of people as neutered or impotent!
As a role model for the women and children of Fiji she is an abject failure and in any other democracy would have been sacked well before now. But not in Fiji under the Rabuka regime, where the country is being systematically destroyed from within.
Where Ministers abuse the hospitality of other Governments, ignore the Constitution they swore to uphold, seem more interested in conferences, meetings and hospitality than looking after those who elected them and continue to cost the taxpayers a growing rate of money.
The promised new standards of conduct, accountability and openness were just that, a promise and we now see in this case how they have been jettisoned as soon as it got hard. One could argue they dumped them as soon as the coalition were sworn into office.
The saying ” that people elect the Government they deserve” should remind people that leopards don’t change their spots, neither do coup makers. The agenda of 1987 is alive and being carried out.
The people of Fiji deserve better but they will not get it under this farce called a Government!
Well said Fiji Watcher. 100% to the point.
What a hole Fiji has dug for itself.
There is not a single person in the Cabinet that is worthy of admiration and respect. And this extends to the President and RFMF.
Lot of abusers, women bashers, coupists, religious elitists, and racists lot. And a druggist in the mix.
How sad it must be to work in any government position in Fiji today.
I bet Fiji First is sitting back and watching the whole saga and the house of cards fall. They can take a much deserved short break.
Fijians forget too fast what they had. Freedom stolen and the country in dismay will teach a long lasting lesson.
New portfolio for LT..Minister of Sex/Drugs and affairs. .. she will do well..
What a week, not halfway yet and already monumental. Today’s half a sacking by a failed government, so Lyndagate drags on. And before that, last Sun, when the army no longer is our bastion of hope but has become the penultimate defender of us, the people, especially vulagi.
Looking forward then to next week when Parliament resumes, especially since Inia had described the Opposition not as a Shadow Government but as a Government in Waiting. We are all therefore waiting. So Inia, remember the Nathanic statement: “Thou art the man”!
Goodbye Norma Jean
Moce Lynda
Moce Jo
Karma is a good thing after all.
Same woman banging the table and gaslighting victims of the 1987 coup a year ago now gets the first taste of her own medicine.
The tears of our women who suffered during the 1987 coup will haunt you forever.
Fiji Village cannot find Tabuya.
Areh yaar. I thought you guys were buddies.
Be careful Graham. Fiji Village will want acknowledgements soon.
I want this job.
Tax payers pay me.
I will bonk your man.
I will serve drugs too.
I promise to then act as a role model to the daughters of the men I bonk.
Story complete.
Thank me and follow me for more tips tomorrow on PAP page.
Lock her up….for taking illicit drugs. An average citizen would be charged by now.
Her PR team are still posting.
Still preaching about women’s inclusion and empowerment.
It cannot get any worse.
The woman has absolutely lost it.
So has the PM of Fiji.
What a disgrace to all who work tirelessly to uphold women in high regard.
This seriously needs to stop. Stand her down and send her packing with Radrodro. They both lied and failed to serve under oath.
Rabuka had protected Lynda all these years as Leader of the Opposition and later when they together moved out of SODELPA to form the PAP. He silenced those in his party who wanted her out of the PAP team. Now this Delilah of Fiji politics has betrayed her Samson. She has deprived him of his strength by cutting his hair, the source of his strength, and as sure as night follows day will bring the whole temple crashing down. Both will become the sorry joke of history.
In any Fijian village the most heinous of crimes for a married couple is for one to break her marriage vow and have an affair. It’s known in the vernacular as “Lasa-i-tuba.”
It’s the single biggest cause of break-ups and violence against women in Fiji.
I wonder what must have been going through the minds of the women and men at the hand-over ceremony at Naibita, Wainibuka officiated by Lynda where she spoke about violence against women when her listeners knew full well that had she been a village woman she would have been beaten by her husband or her brother for bringing disrepute on the family.
It would not have been lost on them too that had she lived in biblical times she would of been stoned to death outside the city walls.
These are the thoughts that will be repeated in the minds of village women and men whenever she speaks about violence against woman.
It’ll probably be the same thought upper-most in their minds when they come to mark their ballots in the 2026 general election.
So she’s guilty after all.
