ON THE SCRAP HEAP IN FIJI

This is almost comical - Frankie Boy has decided that all civil servants will retire at 55. Yip 55. Now we are staring the big 50 in the face. Five years and in Fiji terms we would be an old trout.
( BB's son is convinced she already is)
Funny thing is, this edict does not extend to the Military. What a bloody silly arsewipe.

FIJI RELAXING MEDIA BAN?

It looks like it, according to the Australian but we suspect it will only be for tame journalists.

And interestingly some of the Fijian Blogs are not loading sometimes - so we wonder if they are being censored.

But boy are they staying staunch, as this story by James Ihaka in The Herald points out.

WE HATE CENSORSHIP

And lefties.

Chris Trotter wrote something and thought better of it. So he hid it. He could have just said it was crap and disowned it but due to the miracles of the net that is not easy.

So here is his rant on Fiji. Forever on the net.

BLOGS ONLY NEWS FROM FIJI

Kiwiblog has followed up on our listing the blogs from Fiji. They are going to need all the help they can get. So look them up - ask them questions - support them in anyway you can.

BLOGS GET AROUND FIJI MEDIA BLACKOUT

We believe that Frank Bainimarama is going about doing the right thing the wrong way. He wants changes to the Constitution to give equal status to the Indians who populate his country. However coups and military dictatorships aren't the right way to do things and we definitely don't agree with media blackouts.

The least Bainimarama could do is stay staunch and proud and loud. Hiding behind censorship does his credibility no good at all.

Now whatever side you believe in - it behoves all good people to support the few who can get the news out from Fiji. And with the media black out now in full swing it is the blogs who will keep up abreast of what is happening there.

Here are some. While we don't necessarily agree with what they are saying we will do all we can to give them a voice. Most of the Blogs below link to many others.
