# GOD DEFEND NEW ZEALANDERS. FROM THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT

Posted on July 20, 2024 48 Comments

Winston Peters is named after the famous wartime leader, Winston Churchill. Yet rather than being the lion that roared over one of his own citizens being treated unlawfully by a foreign government, this Winston is a Neville Chamberlain-style appeaser - a man willing to hang a Kiwi out to dry if it placates a regional government and keeps it out of … [Read more...] about # GOD DEFEND NEW ZEALANDERS.

The last non-iTaukei in the senior ranks of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Assistant DPP, Lee Burney, has left, depriving the ODPP of its best prosecutor and propelling Fiji further down the Zimbabwe road.

# FIJI BUCKS THE TREND ON HEREDITARY PRIVILEGE

Posted on July 18, 2024 1 Comment

The news that the new Labour Government in Britain intends to abolish the remaining hereditary peers in the House of Lords - the upper house of the British Parliament - shows just how backward Fiji has been in restoring the Great Council of Chiefs. This is especially so when chiefs like the Qaranivalu - the high chief of Naitasiri, Ratu Inoke … [Read more...] about # FIJI BUCKS THE TREND ON HEREDITARY PRIVILEGE

# STRANGE BEDFELLOWS ON THE PUBLIC TEAT

Posted on July 17, 2024 12 Comments

Fiji is such a broadminded place that no-one thinks anything of the Minister for iTaukei Affairs, who is in business with a convicted Chinese gangster, appearing in public with the chief who instigated the 2000 mutiny in which seven people died, the Education Minister who almost beat the Prime Minister’s daughter to death in a domestic violence … [Read more...] about # STRANGE BEDFELLOWS ON THE PUBLIC TEAT

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)
