# THE MAIN SITE IS BACK

Posted on March 16, 2022 3 Comments

After a period exclusively on Facebook – where more than half a million Fijians have accounts – Grubsheet returns to our main website in the lead-up to the 2022 election, which is expected to be called early and means the country may be going to the polls as early as July.

As well as the contemporary stories, we’ll also be republishing the major Facebook postings of the last few months as “Flashbacks”. Grubsheet has become something of a resource for Fiji-related material dating back to our earliest days and these pieces will become part of the record and be clearly identified as such.

Coming up in the election lead-up, I will also be publishing some of my “Letters from Fiji” during the time I worked there in government from 2012 to 2018, which will give readers an additional perspective on the Bainimarama era. They cover my private reflections on some of the most important events in the country’s history.

With every best wish to my Readers for their interest and support.

Vinaka!

Graham Davis

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)
