Devil in the Details.

Stuff online magazine, correspondent in Fiji reports on the lack of concern among the grass roots on the come-uppance of Army Commander. In fact, a great majority have revealed their support for the Army Commander's motive for the rapid change in management in Fiji. Taking into account that, nine degrees of separation from being couped, were offered to and rejected by the deposed P.M Laisenia Qarase.

Micheal Field's opinion piece on the coup has quite a perspective, due to the overuse of the racial lens to view the unfolding political landscape in Fiji.

Despite the universal understanding of separation of Sports and Politics, Australian Sports administrator Arthur Turnstall advocates the ban on Fiji Rugby. It will be a wonderful moment of explanations for Australian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, when prompted why the Pakistan cricket team was not a target, when considering their record of having a coup and their participation in One Day Internationals.

The coverage of the dismantling of a democracy shrine in Fiji, seemed to be the only indifference of judgement, of the loaded D-word. ABC article unrealistically paints the scenario, as if it was scene out of Fallujah, Iraq. Notwithstanding the hardships faced by those living in Al Anbar province and their own difficulties faced in the wake of the 2003 invasion for WMDs; approved by the same world leaders who represent democracy.

This opinion piece published by Stuff NZ, written by Finlay McDonald presents a balanced view of realities in Fiji. Another more confronting perspective by Mathaba.net outlines the avenues that, have opened for the Fiji interim Government.
