But his once promising political career is dead in the water as the police now investigate him for the alleged corruption exposed in the COI Report. Mr … [Read more...] about # COMING SOON…MR SWEET’S* POLITICAL CAREER TURNS SOUR. BUT HIS BATI ARE FIGHTING BACK

# THE DISGRACED FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL ATTACKS THE ASHTON-LEWIS COMMISSION OF INQUIRY. WELL HE WOULD, WOULDN’T HE?

Posted on July 2, 2025 32 Comments

The Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka, sacked Graham Leung as attorney general in brutal fashion a month ago when he read the Ashton-Lewis Commission of Inquiry Report into the Malimali affair and saw the AG accused of alleged abuse of office, conspiracy, perjury and obstructing and perverting the course of justice. It was brutal because Leung was … [Read more...] about # THE DISGRACED FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL ATTACKS THE ASHTON-LEWIS COMMISSION OF INQUIRY. WELL HE WOULD, WOULDN’T HE?

# CORRUPTION, INJUSTICE AND RACISM NOW UNDERPINS THE STATE IN FIJI

Posted on July 1, 2025 23 Comments

A supine and hopelessly-compromised mainstream media means that Biman Prasad has been able to flash broad smiles as he markets his big-spending Budget, with no media attention whatsoever on the elephant in the room - that the Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister is again being formally investigated for corruption. At the urging of the … [Read more...] about # CORRUPTION, INJUSTICE AND RACISM NOW UNDERPINS THE STATE IN FIJI

# THE 2025-26 BUDGET: BIMAN’S BIG CON. PART TWO

Posted on June 30, 2025 49 Comments

It's a sign of the climate of fear under the Coalition that a respected national figure with no political allegiance has sent the following analysis of Friday's Budget to Grubsheet with the specific request that their identity be kept secret. As senior government figures from the Prime Minister down keep saying that Fijians now have the freedom … [Read more...] about # THE 2025-26 BUDGET: BIMAN’S BIG CON. PART TWO

Posted on June 30, 2025 8 Comments

As the dust settles from the Coalition's budget announcement for 2025-26, the hype of providing relief for the Fijian people from cost-of-living pressures is giving way to some disturbing conclusions for anyone concerned about the proper management of the economy. The embattled Finance Minister, Biman Prasad, may be a professor of economics but … [Read more...] about # THE 2025-26 BUDGET: BIMAN’S BIG CON. PART ONE (UPDATED)

# VOX POPULI. A SALUTE TO MY READERS

Posted on June 28, 2025 25 Comments

A corrupt leadership, the trashing of our institutions of state, heightened racism and a pre-election budget yesterday that sends the nation's debt soaring have combined to give Grubsheet a sense of despair this weekend about the nation's future. But then I read some of the comments of my readers and realise that not all hope is lost. I always … [Read more...] about # VOX POPULI. A SALUTE TO MY READERS

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)
