Seas of muddy transparency in Fiji Politics.

This Kadavu Provincial Council Chairman should just keep himself out of the limelight and concentrate of the domestic affairs of his council.

The Fiji Nursing association has a genuine issue that has fallen on Government's deaf ears for too long. Ignore them at your own peril, Mssr. Qarase!

Consulting family and not others, is a call of ignorance by Finau Tabukaucoro and is totally unfair as well as unprecedented. This position of "Vunivalu" (Root of War)is a paramount seat that requires the consultation of the stakeholders in the community.

Personally , I think the office should be abolished because it was originally established for a native styled General in the tribal wars of old Fiji and therfore is outdated. The original incumbent was Bau Chief Seru Cakabau who engineered Fiji's deed of cession to Britain.
His favourite war club was given to Queen Victoria symbolising the end of the rule of war superseeded by the Crown Law. That whole affair is untennable under present international law and also a debatable issue.

Unfortunately these Fijian cultural ceremonies are also the Achilles tendon for Taukei financial independence and social mobility. Fijians need to understand that there are cheaper alternatives.

In the interest of 'fair and balanced' perpsectives on Fiji politics. A copy of S.D.L party's National Director -Jale Baba, comments on the Reconciliation Bull, which is posted.

Queensland's Bar Association president voices his dissenting opinion, on the Bill in question. It is rather unfortunate that SDL's Jale Baba clearly is talking out of his depths and often regurgitates Qoroniasi Bale's twisted legal reasoning.

A great opinion article-regarding the Recon Bull titled 'Deconstructing the Myth' to the Fiji Times. Written by a free-lance contributor named, Emma Tagicakibau. She is employed by Pacific Concerns Resource Centre and her views are personal one and not of her employer.
