*For years we have called for reform of Fiji's Electoral System but we condemn how Fatiaki-Narsey came to be chosen to draft the changes
*The 'Runaway Elephant' emerges in Fiji after retiring as Chief Justice of Nauru, begins writing Letters to the Editor on Fiji's Electoral System (in the Fiji Times), puts in a tender to the Coalition government to review the Electoral System, gets Wadan Narsey on 'the Elephant's back', and is lecturing Fiji. |
"A classic example is the FNPF Decree 51 which ripped the heart out of pensioners as those receiving 15 to about 25 percent were forced to accept 9 percent. The pensioners went under the poverty line as a result because no consultations were done. It was just done by authority, whoever has the power. That decree remains today and no government has bothered to actually ratify it and make it an Act of Parliament. The level of unlawfulness in this country is shocking."

"No, there was no discussion in Parliament on whether Fiji should become a REPUBLIC, but the legal advisors at the time
said, “The only way to go now is to go all the way to being a Republic,
because you have sacked Her Majesty the Queen. If she comes back, then you are all liable for treason against Her Majesty. So, the only way to put an end to that is to just say, “This is no longer Her Majesty’s Government. It’s no longer Her Majesty’s territory of Fiji. It is now a republic.”
Treasonist Coupist SITIVENI RABUKA, who declared Fiji a republic, severing the Chiefs and the Country's 113 year link with the Crown.
Hi Fijileaks,
Coup hanger-on Alipate Qetaki replaced at NLTB: What next for Rabuka-Bainimarama henchman - remember he became A-G in Rabuka's post 1987 coup, and resurfaced in same role after the George Speight coup!,
"This man who was a prime mover and shaker in the racist, violent Rabuka coup of 1987 got me charged under the Official Secrets Act for publishing an article on Social Welfare in Fiji. That article did no citizen of Fiji any harm. In fact many professional people said they came to better understand what the Social Welfare Department was doing even though it was rather poorly resourced. By contrast Alipate Qetaki and his like minded racist colleagues in Rabuka's inner circle and the Taukei Movement did a great deal of harm to thousands of fellow Fiji citizens and to the country.
Has Qetaki been charged for anything? Has he faced justice for his role in the 1987 coup? No, he hasn't. Instead he continued to be rewarded with top posts in the government and other institutions like the NLTB." - Rajend Naidu, Sydney, 3 April 2015
