    So this woman is persona non grata in Tuvalu ?

    She is now persona non grata in FICAC.

    What a grubby bunch of arseholes those pictured are.

    Will the Fiji Law Society release another statement now? Or Wylie remain and attempt to control the Society from issuing a statement regarding the rule of law and how lawyers may have abused it.

    So when and if will any one named in the COI report resign or be stood down?
    What is everyone waiting for? The return of the runaway PM?
    He even ran away from attending the funeral of his Minister for Agriculture.
    How long and how far will he be running?
    Anyone know why he went to Australia? Snakes are very slippery creatures.

    Breaking news – Fiji Times editor Fred Wesley will be making his way to Brisbane on 26th of July to attend an ex Natabua High school students cruise around Brisbane waters. The tainted chief spokesman for the Fiji coalition government and chief opposer of the COI report, is unfortunately an ex-Natabua, a prestigious institution which also happens to have schooled a few embarrassing deplorables.

    Also attending is Mr 23.2% gdp growth predictor, the self proclaimed “Driving the economic growth agenda for the pacific”, junior economist Kishti Sen. The Fiji govt friendly and Baiman coached economist who has allegedly been lobbying for a Fiji govt job, and constantly in contact with Fiji journalists to cover his false economics predictions has just done what was expected. He has lobbied Fred for the cruise photos to be published in the Fiji times for some further publicity.

    A number of ex-Natabua students won’t be attending the event given the calibre of some attendees.

    And back to COI – hell is on earth these days if your karma reaches the threshold required for judgement to be passed before death.

    “I don’t have the means” asks if the Fiji Law Society will issue another statement. Good question that may never be answered at all. For that, we are waiting for Wylie, or his sidekick Richard.

    There was talk too of a FILA, Fiji Indigenous Lawyers Association. Any statement from them? Now that the COI report is no longer under wraps, they have an incredible lineup of members: Malimali, Temo, Turaga, Bainivalu, Rabuku, Vosarogo, Tikoisuva, Bulitavu, Green, Nawaikula, Bale, Vaurasi, Tuifagalele, not forgetting Waqanika and of course, Tabuya.

    Any others for the list?

    Most interesting reading..this COI report. Transcript of questions confirms that the lawyers didn’t get it – all the way from CJ down. They were all there for themselves or those they were protecting. Also proves that a Ficac will never work if occupied by hand-picked and partial participants.

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.
