The Emergency Situation

I have spent much of the past few days reading and listening to news and opinions about the situation in Fiji, and have decided to wait further developments before adding my own opinions other than to say ..........

Most of what I've read and heard, though understandable, seems poorly considered, and the extreme and provocative  comments - by Baledrokadroka, Michael Field, one of the Australian judges, and some of the anonymous bloggers - must be condemned for adding fuel to what could develop into a highly dangerous situation.  

I think it important to recall earlier emergency regulations that were  heavily applied when first announced, but eased back as authorities became  better placed to assess the situation.  

Let us hope this will be the case again. That will be the time  for reasoned comment -- and some release of present frustrations . Meanwhile, the fewer inflammatory comments, the better.
