“The role of China with respect to any aspects to security and the deeper and meaningful engagement would raise questions about our own fundamental principles and values of democracy, human rights and media freedom.”
*Fijileaks to NFP's Pàntú:
*Your people (Indo-Fijians) lived under Chinese style dictatorship, under the racist 1990 Constitution from 1992 to 1999 (where they were disenfranchised, and constitutionally barred to be Fiji's Prime Minister, President, and were excluded from top Civil Service positions).
*Rabuka's SVT, like the Chinese Communist Party, ruled Fiji, with gross infringement of human rights, trade union rights, religious freedom (Sunday ban, no Diwali or Eid etc).
*No media freedom (except when Fiji Times journalists were prepared
to Kama Sutra the SVT leader) for exclusive news stories.
*What planet are you, Ponga Professor, living on, Mr Indo-Fijian Pàntú?
No wonder the VOTERS threw Rabuka-Reddy into the rubbish heap
Fijileaks: We must fear Rabuka's growing influence and control of NFP and Prasad and NOT the Chinese. It is rich coming from an Indo-Fijian who has already surrendered our birthright to lead Fiji (he wants to be Rabuka's Deputy Prime Minister only). We have no doubt that PAP leader Rabuka 'Chinese Whispered' into Pàntú's ears to raise the alarm. Rabuka cannot speak out, for he was after the 1987 coups who opened Fiji up to the Chinese. (PS: We have no problem with the Chinese, for three of our Editor's sisters-in-law are Chinese, two Fiji-born whose ancestors have been in the country for over a century, and one is from mainland China). Since Prasad has entered into a coalition with PAP and is prepared to be a second-class 'politician' under Rabuka's PAP, he should.
SHUT UP or B****R off from the election contest.
*In the memory of our Indian indentured labourer ancestors and the
Indo-Fijian women who were raped, beaten up, tortured, and their Indian womanhood violated by Coupist Rabuka and his marauding racist thugs, we must consign this Ponga Professor into the rubbish dump, along with his i-Taukei Fijian candidates, who have bought his coalition pact
*A Vote for NFP is a VOTE for Coupist Rabuka as Prime Minister
National Federation Party Leader, Professor Biman Prasad says the visit by Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong is timely because he’s concerned about China’s growing influence in Fiji and the region.
Speaking to Sky News Australia, Prasad says he hopes they will address this issue and reset Fiji’s relationship with Australia.
Professor Prasad claims China is slowly making in-roads in Fiji and it will inevitably affect relations with our development partners.
“You know it’s time that Australia and New Zealand re-look at whether the principles or the way they’ve been dealing with governments, like what we have in Fiji and perhaps those in the Solomon Islands is fundamentally pushing Pacific Island countries away from them.”
He further claims China’s relationship with Fiji could have development partners question Fiji’s values.
“The role of China with respect to any aspects to security and the deeper and meaningful engagement would raise questions about our own fundamental principles and values of democracy, human rights and media freedom.”
However, Australia’s Foreign Minister, Penny Wong is adamant its long-standing bond with Fiji and other Pacific Island countries will not be shaken.
“That our commitment to you is this, that we will work with you to make our Pacific family even stronger, we will listen and we will hear you, your ideas about how we can face our shared challenges and achieve our shared aspirations together.”
Wong has made it clear that her visit to Fiji four days after being sworn into government is a reflection of her commitment to strengthening ties and partnerships with Fiji and the Pacific.
China’s Embassy in Fiji says it will hold a media briefing after China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s state visit where this issue will be addressed.
