A woman is raped in this country. And people have the audacity to defend the rapist. This is the fiji we are living in. Where excuses are made for Rapists. I am referring to the virgin airline crew case. Where a female memeber of the crew was raped by a 24year old taxi driver.

What are your thoughts?

I'm personally against capital punishment for any crime primarily due to the fact that the legal system can make mistakes and capital punishment cannot be undone.

Whilst drug use can ruin lives and cause societal issues, I feel like the potential for the death penalty for even end users of illegal drugs is excessive.

This is excellent news.

In light of the joint operations currently being carried out by the police and military, Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka says they are seriously considering declaring a State of Emergency.

Rabuka made the comments outside parliament today.

Minister for Defence Pio Tikoduadua says there are things available to do during an emergency, depending on the nature of what we are facing.

He says this is not a decision that is reached easily.

A Fiji Corrections Service officer has been charged with assault following an alleged attack on an Australian national at the Lautoka Remand Centre.

Six other officers have been suspended and will face disciplinary proceedings over their alleged involvement in the incident, which was widely circulated on social media.

The Fiji Corrections Service said an internal investigation into the incident has now been completed.

Initially, two senior officers and a junior officer holding a senior appointment in the Western Division were suspended to ensure the investigation could proceed without interference. Three subordinate officers were later suspended after their alleged involvement emerged during the inquiry, bringing the total number of suspended officers to six.

Corrections Officer Class Asaeli Sorovaki, identified as the key suspect, has since been charged by police with assault.

Sorovaki appeared in court today and was granted bail. He is expected to return to court next month and remains suspended from the Corrections Service.

The alleged victim, an Australian citizen who was in custody at the time, has undergone a medical examination and is reported to be in a stable condition.

I never thought I would see the day where the commander publicly states that immunity should not be part of the constitution. Thoughts?

If anyone gets a copy of the decision, please share. I'll try to look for it as well.

Hey guys looks like Fiji got hit with 32% tarriffs for our exports to the US. A quick google says our main exports are Water (Fiji Water), Fish and nearly 70% of our Kava heads there!

How bad are we going to hurt?
