# WHEN ONE PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

Posted on August 29, 2024 28 Comments

This is the image that shows just how far Australia is prepared to go to ingratiate itself with the Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka, after he praised China at the Pacific Islands Forum and against all the evidence, said it had no designs in the region. The Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, is doubtless grateful to Rabuka for … [Read more...] about # WHEN ONE PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

# JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED. A MAGISTRATE SPEAKS OUT

Posted on August 29, 2024 5 Comments

It is seven weeks tomorrow since the Prime Minister said the suspended DPP, Christopher Pryde, was entitled to continue to be paid his salary - which was summarily cut off by the Acting Chief Justice, Salesi Temo - and it still hasn't been restored. It is almost 17 months since Christopher Pryde was suspended for alleged misbehaviour and still … [Read more...] about # JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED. A MAGISTRATE SPEAKS OUT

# PRESSURE MOUNTS ON THE PM TO REMOVE LYNDA TABUYA (UPDATED WED)

Posted on August 27, 2024 10 Comments

The clamour for the removal of the Minister for Bonking and Weed for defying Sitiveni Rabuka and doubling down on her call for the death penalty for drug traffickers now extends to two of the country's veteran politicians - the former prime minister and Labour Party leader, Mahendra Chaudhry, and more critically in terms of the politics of the … [Read more...] about # PRESSURE MOUNTS ON THE PM TO REMOVE LYNDA TABUYA (UPDATED WED)

# AN UNCLE TOM* SHELTERING UNDER A DIRTY MAC

Posted on August 27, 2024 5 Comments

Colin Deoki of Australia thinks Grubsheet is "stupid" for taking him to task for betraying Fiji's minorities by calling for indigenous paramountcy instead of a common and equal citizenry and for non iTaukei to be called Fiji Islanders instead of Fijians. From the luxury of three decades of enjoying equal rights with other Australians in … [Read more...] about # AN UNCLE TOM* SHELTERING UNDER A DIRTY MAC

# LYNDA TABUYA OPENLY DEFIES THE PRIME MINISTER’S AUTHORITY

Posted on August 26, 2024 13 Comments

The shameless Minister for Bonking and Weed has doubled down on her call for the restoration of the death penalty for drug trafficking, triggering a crisis at the top of government as she acutely embarrasses the Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka, and refuses to acknowledge his authority. Rabuka told the Fiji Sun from Tonga in a front page story … [Read more...] about # LYNDA TABUYA OPENLY DEFIES THE PRIME MINISTER’S AUTHORITY

About Grubsheet

Graham Davis
Grubsheet Feejee is the blogsite of Graham Davis, an award-winning journalist turned communications consultant who was the Fijian Government’s principal communications advisor for six years from 2012 to 2018 and continued to work on Fiji’s global climate and oceans campaign up until the end of the decade.

 

Fiji-born to missionary parents and a dual Fijian-Australian national, Graham spent four decades in the international media before returning to Fiji to work full time in 2012. He reported from many parts of the world for the BBC, ABC, SBS, the Nine and Seven Networks and Sky News and wrote for a range of newspapers and magazines in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.

 

Graham launched Grubsheet Feejee in 2011 and suspended writing for it after the Fijian election of 2014, by which time he was working at the heart of government. But the website continued to attract hits as a background resource on events in Fiji in the transition back to parliamentary democracy.

 

Grubsheet relaunches in 2020 at one of the most critical times in Fijian history, with the nation reeling from the Covid-19 crisis and Frank Bainimarama’s government shouldering the twin burdens of incumbency and economic disintegration.

 

Grubsheet’s sole agenda is the national interest; the strengthening of Fiji’s ties with the democracies; upholding equal rights for all citizens; government that is genuinely transparent and free of corruption and nepotism; and upholding Fiji’s service to the world in climate and oceans advocacy and UN Peacekeeping.

 

Comments are welcome and you can contact me in the strictest confidence at grubsheetfeedback@gmail.com

 

(Feejee is the original name for Fiji - a derivative of the indigenous Viti and the Tongan Fisi - and was widely used until the late 19th century)
