Fijians must be so frigging pop-corned out it must be sickening.
This has to be the most dysfunctional, inept, clueless, and corrupt government Fiji has ever had in our very short 50-year history.
It is frightening to think that this’ll get worse and worse before we come out of the woods. If ever.
The level of classlessness, ignorance, belligerence and just plain madness is astounding. And we are talking about just this year so far. We must be the worst governed country this side of the world.
Interesting how a bloke’s been charged without even being given an opportunity to present his side of the story. Sounds like a stitch-up and I’d be willing to put money down that Chris won’t be extradited any time soon. He’s not a Fijian nor will the NZ government send one of their own people in cuffs, to a country run by corrupt barbaric apes in suits.
Joseph Goebbels would have loved this lot running the show in Fiji because they’re miles ahead when it comes to propaganda…
Getting Christopher Pryde – expensive and drawn out
As we’ve been reporting today the Fiji Independence Commission Against Corruption says it has started extradition proceedings against the Director of Public Prosecutions, Christopher Pryde.
Pryde is a New Zealand lawyer, currently resident, it seems, in New Zealand.
By way of background, New Zealand’s response to Fiji’s request is likely to be a systematic — and skeptical — legal process.
Based on other cases, including the drawn out Kim Dotcom case, extradition is not a rubber-stamped political decision.
New Zealand’s Extradition Act 1999 would govern the process. As a Commonwealth country, Fiji’s extradition requests fall under the backbone provisions of the act.
The New Zealand Minister of Justice would receive and consider the formal request.
New Zealand courts would test if the alleged offence is extraditable, meaning it must be a crime in both Fiji and NZ (dual criminality).
The request would get picked over to ensure it meets all the procedural rules — supporting evidence, correct paperwork, no obvious political motivation.
New Zealand is likely to take a dim view of anything politically motivated prosecutions, or trials lacking fair process (and Fiji has plenty of those).
New Zealand law and its Bill of Rights protect people from being extradited to countries where they face torture, inhumane treatment, or a real risk of unfair trial.
There would likely be a close look at Fiji’s current judicial independence, prison conditions, and treatment of defendants — especially if the accused is a lawyer who might have been involved in controversial cases.
If the defence argues the Fijian justice system cannot guarantee a fair trial, expect an expensive and drawn-out court battle in New Zealand courts – as continues to happen with Dotcom.
Extradition is never automatic. The courts would hold a hearing, and the subject of extradition could appeal every inch of the way. If there were any credible sign of a political vendetta or unfair trial risk, a New Zealand court could (and would) block it.
Given the current political motivated cases before the courts in Fiji and the conduct of FICAC I don’t see Christopher Pryde being extradited -EVER!
So agree not to tell them. Let them get some proper education on how the legal system & laws work in uncorrupt places. Such a bunch of uneducated fools. How are they lawyers? This will be a waste of time & money – money diverted away from helping poverty/fixing hospitals etc. They will hire NZ lawyers. Wonder if they will take off to NZ to instruct their lawyers. This will mostly be a vacation for them paid by Fijian taxpayers.
I hope the judgement to extradite puts these clowns in their place however even then it will not get into their thick unhinged heads & they will think they are correct.
Erm DPP is independent and does not to consult JSC or President for finance approval. It is ultimately Pryde as DPP who decides the financial operations of DPP.
Why on earth would New Zealand want to extradite Pryde to a FICAC Commisioner who is illegally appointed?
1. Lavenia Rokoika Vakalalabure is related to both Rabuka and Naiqama.
2. The appointment of the FICAC Commisioner must be done by way of a recommendation by the JSC to the President. Not the idiotic corrupt lying PM Rabuka making the recommendation to Naiqama!!
NZ intelligence knows full well the status of Rabuka being incapable of making sound decisions!!
Vakaloloma the desperate attempt to malign Hon Pryde!!
Foreigners – take note ! Steer far off from this conniving government! It’s a yuck !!
So coalition wants to be vindictive, bring Pryde here and make him suffer. They are bent on imprisoning him and enjoy party time at DPP.
If he ends up with any medical condition then this government will tell him to suffer here, as they are trying see ASK die.
Of course the egotistical, Maverick CJ is right behind them, so nothing to worry about breaking any rules.
They are seeking extradition and filed an application this morning.
Here we go. The Monkeys are playing again.

Shameful, shameless shenanigans.

Joseph Goebbels, as cruel as he was, had an education and was likely a little more competent than this lot.
Chemical Ali would love our lot much more. Complete dunderhead chemical ali was, and inept, who believed his own bullshit to the end.
Exactly like our ministers and assistant ministers led by the highest chief minister of shit-the gold rolex snake.
Fiji sinks deeper into the judicial quagmire!

Oh, don’t tell them that! You’re ruining the fun already.
Let the monkeys go round and round and down legal rabbit holes chasing their own tails in three-piece suits and sheep hair pieces.
Just get more popcorn and mix a tamani big basin of kava.
