FIJI: Welcome, to COUPCOUP Land. No wonder we have coup culture.
It beggars belief how those inside and outside the country continue to support the return of COUPISTS from all parties into Parliament
19 May 2000: Naivalurua and Coupist Rabuka were back in Speight coup
Naivalurua was at the Australian War College when the 2000 coup happened; he came down to Fiji, went into Parliament, physically manhandled his brother and dragged him out. Later, he supported the coup from outside. He also remains at large for being one of the ten balaclava hooded soldiers who stormed Parliament in 1987 to overthrow Dr Timoci Bavadra and his government - in conspiracy with Sitiveni Rabuka's
"Operation Kidacala (Surprise)".
 | 19 MAY 2000, George Speight Coup: President Ratu Mara on RABUKA: 'He telephoned me to say, *I am ready*. I then pointed to Rabuka and Police Commissioner Isikia Savua and accused them of hand in Coup.'  |
*Basically, the SNAKE RABUKA was disowning the very 1997 Rabuka-Reddy Constitution that PAP-NAG is now brandishing around the country. The typical opportunist in time of crisis
Fijileaks: Astonishingly, in June 2000, shortly after George Speight and others seized Parliament, Rabuka told the world that the old South Africa might be a model for Fiji. He no longer seemed to believe in a multi-racial chamber. Rabuka said Fiji might need racially segregated houses of parliament, ‘like pre-Mandela South Africa’, as part of a constitutional settlement to its problems. The solution to Fiji's problems ‘must come with a constitutional arrangement that [i-Taukei] Fijians can work with ... and at the moment, they cannot work with the 1997 Constitution’.
*Basically, he was disowning the very 1997 Rabuka-Reddy Constitution that PAP-NAG is now brandishing around the country. The typical opportunist in time of crisis
Rabuka: "I supported every move to destabilise the Chaudhry government, but I was not part of the coup. I was not involved in any of the [pre-coup] marches. But I was going to be involved in the next one because it was [to be held at] the time of the signing of the successor to the Lome Convention this month.’
*Rabuka said he had known Speight and had played golf with him and knew of his commitment to indigenous rights. However, he did not agree that Speight represented the ‘soul’ or the ‘voice’ of the indigenous people, or the i-Taukei. ‘Why should he consider himself the voice of the iTaukei? His grandfather was a European. The military has only [negotiated with] Speight because of the security of the hostages. He has no legal claim. I don't have any moral stance on whether his actions are right or wrong. I cannot say anything about that because I was in the coup in 1987. I am giving my opinions as a private citizen.’ But Speight ‘has lost the plot and right now he is trying to hang onto every little straw that floats by. He is living in a bubble, and very soon that bubble will burst’

DEPOSED PRIME MINISTER MAHENDRA CHAUDHRY, after being released, said he had been told of Rabuka's complicity by the leader of the CRW unit in parliament, Ilisoni Ligairi. In talks with Chaudhry, Ligairi had claimed he was very angry with Rabuka because he had ditched them at the last minute.
