Having passed a decree that targets Qantas ownership of Air Pacific, Khaiyum now claims he’s carefully examining the legislation to see if it applies to Qantas. He says he is required to determine “whether Air Pacific is a citizen of Fiji, as per the requirement of the Civil Aviation (Ownership and Control of National Airlines) Decree 2012″. He knows very well that he wrote this decree to grab all power over Air Pacific in contravention of the company’s Articles of Association, but he probably expected Qantas to buckle and handover its shares at what ever price he wanted. It seems Qantas is going to make him take them to court and have his dodgy decree contested.

Lieutenant-Colonel Manasa Vaniqi, the man who has overseen the worst decline in our sugar industry’s history, has accused Mahendra Chaudhry of singing the old sugar song, meaning politicising the industry. After five and half years without “sugar politics”, which has seen the industry crash, why wouldn’t cane farmers want a return to sugar politics?

Vouchers for school buses were introduced in 2009 and E-Ticketing was promised to follow quickly when the vouchers ran into trouble with fraud and bus drivers refusing to accept them. E-ticketing was promised for 2011 and then definitely promised for this year, then announced to start yesterday, but what happened? Nothing. The bus companies had the equipment, but nobody told them what do with it and the Transport Ministry spokesman contacted didn’t have a clue. Sainiana Waqainabete, the normal big mouth of the Ministry, who promised E-ticketing in January was nowhere to be found. Like the Passports, a typical iGovernment stuff-up.

Is the regime trying to destroy the sugar industry |

Alipate Qetaki, the puppet TLTB General Manager, has said goodwill payments are outlawed and they have “‘no provision in our land laws so people will pay up at their own risk”. He knows that cane lease rents are very low, and that’s why landlords don’t want to renew them, but goodwill payments give an incentive to landlords. It looks like the regime doesn’t want cane leases renewed. If their aim is to destroy the sugar industry, they’re right on track to success.

We all know that dissatisfaction with Bainimarama, or at least the expression of dissatisfaction, grows with the distance from QEB, so Frank should be worried if arch plotter Inoke Kubuabola is out meeting with some of the boys thousands of miles away. They have no doubt shared with him their utter dissatisfaction with the regime that is dominated by Khaiyum, a man who has never hidden his contempt for the RFMF, even though it is they who hold him in office as AG.
