My account of the story was b...@ Anonymous 2:35 pm. My account of the story was based on what FijiLive published this week. The reference was given as a hyperlink. I'm fully aware of the facts you mention, but there's nothing factually wrong in what I wrote. I suppose the next thing you will be advising me on is not to read even the slightest trace of sexism into your comment on "a snide old woman." And now a word of advice from me: Your rudeness may have given you a buzz feeling but it detracts from what you say. I'd suggest you leave it out in future correspondence.. .

It's time to retire when you can’t get the facts right.<br /><br />Your little story about Fairfax media for example. The newspaper group ran a story with a direct quote from Bainimarama. You then have the gall to accuse them of making a story. It is not their fault if the idiot dictator can’t help himself but to make stupid comments and exaggerate. If he gives them the story surely they should run it.<br /><br />Although the interview was fairly recent Bainimarama is referring back to the days when he had promised the leaders of the Pacific and the EU that we would have elections in 2009. Do you remember those days? I am not sure you do as you always accuse Chaudhry of forgetting his past statements but never Bainimarama.<br /><br />Anyway I digress. At the time The EU had $350m not Bainimarama’s exaggerated $500m to give to Fiji as aid to the sugar industry. <br /><br />As we all know Bainimarama broke his promise to have elections, the EU money went to other countries and the Sugar Industry has never recovered.<br /><br />So not surprising the current EU apparatus in Fiji have no idea about a $500m bribe to Bainimarama.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727226025187579533.post-43229427994489823882014-07-05T14:03:42.407+12:002014-07-05T14:03:42.407+12:00Lord Ma'afu must be joking...surely!

He can confirm that from the International Sea Bed Authority.

There will be unfounded accusations of corruption, there will be claims that our PM has staged the coup in order to avoid prosecution for murder and torture. There will be even lies about the salaries that Nur Bano Ali has been paying out. There are even claims that the RFMF general has threatened the opposition.

It's Hank Arts and Fred Wesley at the Fiji Times and they don't want your articles because you are sympathetic to the government and they are the opposition newspaper in Fiji. So biased it's ridiculous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
