- USE THE NUMBERS (1-7) IN MAKING YOUR COMMENTS.
- PLEASE ANSWER THE NUMBERED POLL QUESTIONS IN THE RIGHT SIDE BAR.
1. Decide if they want to be friends with Australia and NZ or not. If yes, then stop the wild outbursts and work on a plan to re-engage.
2. Be flexible - even bringing the election forward say 6 months would be signal that they are prepared to negotiate. Why the hard line on this one ?
3. Deal with some of the respective poor decisions made after the coup that continue to dog them. For example, remove Mr Kean from Navy command. You have to live what you preach. maybe hand back the back pay - no one believes the PM never took a day of leave in all his career. On Kean surely he must be replaceable? There are plenty of other examples, e.g., the soldiers released early. Also stop the army taking people to the barracks and put a professional police person in charge of the police.
4. On the media decree, give the Fiji Times 12 months to sell or scrap that component altogether.
5. Start the dialogue forum TODAY. Get a draft new voting system out soon. It's not surprising that people are becoming suspicious about 2014 when nothing is being done to work towards it. The claims of 'we are concentrating on the economy' are rubbish. Government has to be able to do both. Fifty Decrees have been pumped out so clearly they do have some resources for doing this stuff.
6. Lift the public emergency NOW. Govt promised they would. There is a lot of self-regulation happening anyway and that will continue.
7. Learn to live with critics. It's part of being Government. Don't react to everything. Accept some criticism - change things accordingly and for other criticism just ignore it.

1. engaging does not mean waiting out critics and then demanding they accept your views and complaining 'they don't understand us'. Apparently if you make critical comments the regime and itsc sypathisers claim you have visited and what would you know, then if tyou have visited, 'you have talked to the 'wrong people', then if you talk to the 'right people' but are unconvinced by their attitude and answers - you had already made up your mind or didn't understand, then they attack you personally, or deport you or don't aloow your comments to be printed.
All good suggestions but no one seems to have any comments ? I pray the military hacks have a read and take a few of these on board.
I guess readers are now focussed on the Melenesian Special Golf(MSG) day at Natadola. Serioulsy what has the MSG ahieved todate ? It is not well organised of funded like PIF. No doubt we will see a double speak message from the group or perhaps we won't in Fiji unless it is positive to current government.
Well those suggestions seem to really have got everyone talking - not.
Maybe because they are too practical or because there is zero chance of FB taking notice.
These suggestions are common sense. Unfortunately, however, this commodity is in extremely short supply in the Fiji regime. It appears that FB wants to self destruct. Perhaps he should do exactly that, but without taking the whole country with him.
A friend of mine got a nice idea.
What do you think about the following?
1) The Military Government writes the new constitutions without asking to the people what they want (that's useless because the new constitution will have to be approved by the military and they already know what they want...) and they include a MILITARY VETO in it. All bills could be cancelled by the Military governement.
2) We have quick elections and (maybe) a bad nationalist government might be elected (if not this time, maybe the next one)
3) At any time, when Frank is not happy with a particular bill, he just applies his veto.
Fiji would become a democratic republic moderated by a military monarchy. We would have to trust the military in the future, we would hape to hope they would have the maturity not to abuse of their veto.
It is obvious that the current situation where the military do not trust the governement will NOT end in 2014. We need to find a good compromise for the future and the military veto is the ONLY way forward. We can't continue with negative economic growth any longer before we get in serious trouble. We need elections and we need to make concessions to the Military Governement.
VETO, VETO, VETO!!!!!!
The military junta's strategic framework for chaos is working well - the country continues to lurch from crisis to crisis. The only way forward for Fiji is for the military to return to their barracks and stay there. they are not only an economic drain on the poor nation but the main contributor to dysfunction of the nation.
yes and i hope that the regime and it's military leader actually read Croz's lecture about what their leader actually means when he talks. Must be humbling to have to use an interprter from NZ. Can i ask, i note some criticism of the style and tactics used by aus and nz, can anyone else see the irony comparing this regime's tactics and double standards thus far exposed by other websites??? Apparently they demand to be treated as the legitimate govenrment but no to any of the regional standards. Interesting. And despite the eay they have bullied and intimidated and bought their way into governemtn, they certainly cant' stand it when someone else does it better.
I'm starting to think the PM has no more interest in holding an election in 2014 than he did when he promised one for 2009
