*Looking through his old folders, our Founding Editor-in-Chief saw this old drawing from the 90s when SVT was formed.
*Looks like nothing much has changed with the current GCC 'kana lotos'
From Fijileaks Archives, 23 May 2023
*The Ra Provincial Council and the Great Council of Chiefs in 1982, through two racist resolutions in Bau, tried to reassure the i-Taukei Fijians of their determination that they should, and always would, rule Fiji.
*But they were happy to carry the WHITE MAN (WOMAN) on their shoulders.
*Until Bainimarama disbanded them, and told them to 'Go Drink Homebrew Under the Tree', they were behaving like the Supreme Religious Rulers of Iran, terrorising dissident commoner i-Taukei Fijians, Indo-Fijians, and Others who dared to hold them to account.
*Most who looted and bankrupted the National Bank of Fiji were chiefs, who had borrowed millions to run their so-called i-Taukei businesses, claiming Indo-Fijians dominated the Fijian economy.
*They have NEVER suggested that an Indo-Fijian be nominated as President of Fiji. Instead, they are fighting to designate one of their own provincial tribal chief to replace the current President Katonivere.
*The GCC Review Team (mostly from Tailevu, where my maternal family have deep roots) consists of i-Taukei Fijians and a Chinese, GRAHAM LEUNG, even though a re-constituted GGC will also impact Indo-Fijians.
*The i-Taukei Chiefs, Thieves, and Others never thought that one of their very own - Frank Bainimarama - will disband the Great Council of Chiefs, and tell them to 'Go, Drink Homebrew Under the Tree'.
*We hope the Chiefs meeting on Bau Island have sobered up in the last 16 years and will NEVER again embark on their self-destructive journey, dragging their commoner subjects and Fiji down the abyss.
