# “JEZEBEL” TOTALLY LOSES IT.

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, Fiji, something even more mind-boggling emerges to take your breath away – like Lynda Tabuya altering her Facebook page tonight to put up a new cover picture suggesting to the nation she deserves an award for being a lying, conniving, greedy, licentious piece of work.

This woman and her husband, Rob Semaan, reportedly fled America owing creditors $F113-million dollars in unpaid debts after the collapse of their fat loss company *. Then she wormed her way into politics in Fiji, switching political parties almost as frequently as she changed her knickers until she became deputy leader of the People’s Alliance.

After her drug-fuelled sexual encounter with Aseri Radrodro in Room 233 of the Windsor Hotel in Melbourne last August, she lied to the Prime Minister who, in turn, lied to the nation that it wasn’t true. But then an investigation by a PAP disciplinary committee concluded that it was and she was stripped of the party’s deputy leadership, though Sitiveni Rabuka – inexplicably in her thrall – retained her as Minister for Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation.

Now she rejoices in chairing the Special Committee on Emoluments that recommended obscene increases in salaries and perks for the nation’s 55 MPs at a time when poverty in Fiji has never been greater, our annual inflation rate is 7.1 per cent and rising and many Fijians are struggling to put food on the table.

She is being attacked from all sides yet this is her response – a big “eff you” to the Fijian people as if to say “suck it up losers, I’m a winner and no matter what happens, I am untouchable”.

Grubsheet is personally running out of descriptions for this appalling individual – “Ms Piggy” topping up the troughs of the swine of the parliament, the “Queen of Tarts” who uses her sexuality to dazzle those who’ve followed her down the rabbit hole into the Wonderland of the parallel universe she inhabits, or the “Great Temptress” who lured a married fellow minister to her bed with his wife sleeping in an adjoining room during a parliamentary visit overseas. Lynda Tabuya has no shame and here’s the definitive proof – her new Facebook picture that for many people will encapsulate her complete lack of regard for the normal constraints on public behaviour by our elected representatives.

She doesn’t give a damn what we think about anything. She has power over the Prime Minister who keeps her in the ministry when she should have been shown the door months ago. She has power over every one of the 40 MPs who followed her down the rabbit hole by voting for the most disgraceful package of entitlements in the history of Fijian parliaments since Independence. She has power over the media to the extent that they ignore her excesses and journalists of the stature of Stanley Simpson reportedly dance with her at public functions. And now she is telling the nation in no uncertain terms that she has triumphed and the rest of us just have to suck it up.

It isn’t going to work. And the proof of that is on her own Facebook page this evening. Lynda Tabuya is scrambling unsuccessfully to delete the avalanche of unflattering comments. But as soon as she does so, more appear. Her once adoring fans have turned.

When America’s loss is, er, Fiji’s loss too.
