GOD HELP US IF RABUKA WINS ELECTION IN 2018: His statement excusing his absence from Winston service because such an event is "not how Fijians do things" confirm he doesn't accept multiculturalism

 * His statement is a blatantly racist comment that implies that it was others who imposed this service on native Fijians;

* Or is it that the Christian fundamentalists refuse to be railroaded into a multi-faith service?

* Look at the emotion at that event from ordinary people. And it was mostly native Fijians.

* And look at the comment of the British High Commissioner to Fiji, Melanie Hopkins, about how great it was:  "Today’s commemoration was entirely appropriate and a solemn event as would be expected for the scale of the disaster that hit Fiji."

*
Sitiveni Rabuka hasn’t changed at all. He just doesn’t accept the notion of a multi-cultural, multi-faith Fiji or the notion that we can develop new and more inclusive national commemorations at which everyone feels welcome;

* If the Methodist talatalas aren’t up the front and the prayers don’t end with “in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ”, Rabuka isn’t interested;

* You would think the Methodists and Rabuka would learn their lesson but it seems that the more things change in Fiji, the more they stay the same.

RABUKA (and Ro Kepa and the Opposition) refused to turn up at Albert Park for the prayer with the Winston victims, and yet the SODELPA leader had travelled all the way to Donald Trump's White House to attend the National Prayer Breakfast, formally known as the Presidential Prayer Breakfast. Through the years, many of the attendees mistakenly believe the event has been sponsored by the White House. In reality, the breakfast is organized by the shadowy and powerful Fellowship Foundation, an organization that was founded by pro-Nazis before World War II.

Rabuka couldn't pull himself up and join President Konrote in the prayer - not because he was not well but because it was a multi-cultural event

Fijian people resilient, says Aussie Minister – The Multi-Faith National Service of Remembrance and Thanksgiving was not only an event to commemorate the death and destruction brought about Tropical Cyclone Winston but to celebrate the resilience of Fijian people. Australian Minister for International Development and the Pacific, Senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells made the remarks yesterday. She was among diplomats, Government ministers, victims of Tropical Cyclone Winston, relatives of those killed and others present at the event at
Albert Park. Source: Fiji Times; The Australian media would have branded the Opposition as "mugs"

Does the British High Commisioner know Fiji has had another humongous disaster which has destroyed many lives in Fiji - a man- made disaster caused by coupist military generals ?
Why isn't there a commemoration for it?
This " prayer " commemoration is nothing but the gang in government playing politics.
And, it is nothing but a part of the job of people like the British High Commissioner to attend such superficial political parties masquerading as a " national prayer gathering".

It seems you are obsessed with Rabuka and can't seem to get past his 1987 sins. It is human to sin but it is divine to forgive. You said we should not be holding the national service because people still live in tents yet when Rabuka repeated those very same words he is termed a nationalist and his use of the word Fijian is construed by you to mean i-taukei...please be focusssed and get past 1987; a lot of us have

By your logics Walker, why not, let’s just FORGIVE Bainimarama and Khaiyum - Now, Now - rather than 30 years from now? Rabuka is a forgiven man but we rather see him forgotten too. Rabuka is a backward step not forward. Past has past.

Very much like the People are fed-up with Chaudhary’s $Millions so should we be fed-up with RACISM personified, which is Rabuka (and the Sods) and his NBF style CHORI.

Otherwise, for many of us, in the absence any other, alternative, reliable, credible and caring Leadership –even the sheer arrogance and pigheadedness (and the CHORI) of Khaiyum and Bainimarama is far more preferable than to plunge ourselves backwards to RACISM that has been Rabuka and the Qarase’s SDL. There is no arguing with the facts.

Another area the Fijian people have shown great resilience to is the coups carried out by rogue military generals. We will eventually see off the current coup installed Ali Baba and his 40 thieves...
The Australian Minister for International and the Pacific might want to take note of that.

It doesn't hurt to see how well Rambo can prove to all that he's beginning anew and planning to start over at least, not that I support him anyway.
