# WYLIE CLARKE MUST STAND ASIDE AS FIJI LAW SOCIETY PRESIDENT IF PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE LEGAL PROFESSION IS TO BE UPHELD

Posted on July 14, 2025 16 Comments

Just as it is a first in Fiji to have a Chief Justice who is accused by a Supreme Court Inquiry of having perverted the course of justice yet remains in office, so too is it a first for the same allegation to be leveled against a sitting President of the Fiji Law Society and for him to also cling to the wreckage of a broken system. Welcome to … [Read more...] about # WYLIE CLARKE MUST STAND ASIDE AS FIJI LAW SOCIETY PRESIDENT IF PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE LEGAL PROFESSION IS TO BE UPHELD

# BASTILLE DAY NEWS. NEW CALEDONIA TO BECOME A “STATE” BUT WILL REMAIN PART OF FRANCE.

Posted on July 14, 2025 4 Comments

Today's Fiji Times has four pages of articles and ads to commemorate Bastille Day - July 14 - the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille Prison in 1789 that was the climax of the French revolution. Yet characteristically there is no mention of a major development "just down the road" in neighbouring New Caledonia, which has been wracked by … [Read more...] about # BASTILLE DAY NEWS.

# CHARLIE CHARTERS CONSPIRES WITH A CORRUPT ESTABLISHMENT TO DESTROY THE CREDIBILITY OF THE ASHTON-LEWIS COMMISSION OF INQUIRY (PART TWO)

Posted on July 12, 2025 19 Comments

The author and rugby identity, Charlie Charters, has taken his campaign to undermine the Commission of Inquiry into the Malimali affair from the pages of Facebook to the pages of Saturday's Fiji Times with an extraordinary double-page feature that is a naked attempt to derail the Ashton-Lewis Commission of Inquiry into the Malimali … [Read more...] about # CHARLIE CHARTERS CONSPIRES WITH A CORRUPT ESTABLISHMENT TO DESTROY THE CREDIBILITY OF THE ASHTON-LEWIS COMMISSION OF INQUIRY (PART TWO)

# A RIGHT CHARLIE’S* CAMPAIGN TO DESTROY THE CREDIBILITY OF THE ASHTON-LEWIS COMMISSION OF INQUIRY (PART ONE)

Posted on July 10, 2025 31 Comments

Charlie Charters is one of those End-of-Empire Englishmen like Jon Fraenkel and Matt Wilson who set out for the South Seas like their 19th century predecessors, marry local women, get involved in local politics and exploit the gormlessness of the natives to advance their own prejudices. Some of these English imports like Harry Dugdale - the … [Read more...] about # A RIGHT CHARLIE’S* CAMPAIGN TO DESTROY THE CREDIBILITY OF THE ASHTON-LEWIS COMMISSION OF INQUIRY (PART ONE)

# TIME TO BE GREAT AGAIN (UPDATED THURSDAY)

Posted on July 9, 2025 52 Comments

56 years separates these images but there's a striking timelessness about father and son - Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara and Ratu Tevita Mara - being installed as Tui Nayau, the high chief of Lau. It was a significant event in the vanua then - July 1969 - and it is a significant event now as the people of Lau officially regain their traditional leader … [Read more...] about # TIME TO BE GREAT AGAIN (UPDATED THURSDAY)

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)
