Bula Re Followers,

I am currently in Bua assisting with project built. It is so good to be here and get to touch base with the locals as far and remote as this.

The locals really know what they want and boy or boy life is surely a bliss. Apart from Agriculture and normal lease money, you have assistance that has been developed from the Fiji First Government which are now benerfiting the locals.

I must salute the current Government for being so political and taking all the credit. However in due time people will surely know who has really helped make it better. Despite the struglles that most face, their is inner peace at village life.

I however wish to highlight village life is unique in the sence it has its own special way to remove the burden and pressure of the dairly life.

But despite this they silently carry on with pride. I must appluad them for doing better than City or Town life.

Its time to Make Fiji Great & Better again.

To 'that particular Fijian worker' who posted on the Minimum wage and note that we least forget.....

From a Fijian worker :

▶️In 2014 became the First Fijian Government to an act a Minimum wage, even current PM failed to do so in his 10 years of SVT rule.

▶️Through tough consultation and negotiation able to rise minimum wage to $2.32. Something to note its the big business and employers have the powers. Convincing them to buy in is not a $23 per hour job.

▶️Later in 2017 increased minimum wage to $2.68 still part of the hard work process of asking employers to buy in.

▶️Later in in late 2021 to 2022 amended the act that in over 12 months minimum wage will increase from $2.68 to $4.00 an hour something you left out in your post meaning you are miss informing people when you do so.

Therefore in 8 years in power FF not only set a minimum wage but increased it by $2.00 without even mentioning the backend consultation.

While you will never forget the promulgated Degree of October 3, 2014 of increasing salary and throwing out numbers that reflect only the salary of the PM in that case you again are misinforming the public at large. But despite this we were still than the lowest paid Members of Parliament in the Pacific and even to date.

Despite low minimum wage, you had the spending power meaning taxes were lowered and both businesses and the public enjoy spending money, something your current Coaliation Government fail to do. Thats something you fail to acknowledge.

However I agree with you on the notion that we remember. They recently voted to increase their pay as Opposition MPs, raising their salaries from $50,000 to $95,000. That’s $3,653.85 every two weeks, $365.38 a day, or $45.67 an hour. What are they promising now? More of the same selfishness, luxury, and self-enrichment?

Yes, the Coalition Government has raised the minimum wage:
🔸️2023: from $4 to $4.50 per hour
🔸️2024: Increased to $4.50 per hour
🔸️2025: Set to rise to $5 per hour

As much as you wished it happened 8 years ago, darling as a iTaukei saying goes, teri ura me damu ni kua.

Please be greatful you inheritated a better economy to the one you are running now with average browing in a year is close to FJD$0.9B. Just image in 4 years you would have borrowed extra $3.6B with that rate.

What I fail to understand is that with your interlectual post and yet you are still stuck with the minimum wage level raises many concerns. Everything is progressive, including carrier path. What I fail to understand is that you are stuck in your minimum wage level and fail to earn yourself a promotion for those 8 years and this past 2 years.

We surely deserve better and looking at the 55, there is no better in them as a group.

Signed,
💙Speaking from the Heart.

Government waisted close to $888K simply investigating the Christopher Pride hoax. Just imagine how many hospital beds could be bought by $888k.

With the recent appointments, the total salary [ALONE] spent by Cabinet is FJD$6.1M
Compare this to the cost of living for ordinary Fijians?

With the high cost of living and the struggling economy, do you really need to change the Constitution?

For the past 24 months, a lot of the current campaign trolls and agenda have not stood the test of time and the conclusions coming is that they are based on lies.

The 2013 Constitution is not a racist constitution in fact, it treats every race in Fiji equally. The 2013 Constitution has seen Fiji improve Infrastructure to the best in the modern time. Apart from the 4 Constitution, the 2013 Constitution is the best.

Specifically, the fact that no one under the Constitution has the power to do Land swap or transfer Land from Native to State and so on.

What we see when the Government is failing to deliver, we are seeing people putting ASK with Rabuka now; the same back as with Bainimarama.

We are so racist in our approach, and we fail to acknowledge to allows Laws and the Constitution to take us forward.

The fact that it lacked public Consultation is also a lie. The learned Professor, before signing his agreement to undertake the work, knew there were non-negotiable terms set by the than Military Government. Terms that have been proven over the years brought about division in the nation.

During the Qarase Government we had Reconciliation workshops and, as a High School student back than was part of a group led by iTaukei Academics. These were Professor Lesi, Professor Ratuva, Professor Robert Qalo. Our item of discussion was Common Identity and a common term that came up from District and Divisional Consultation was the use of the term Fijian for everyone.

That same week we went for a Close up Interview in which I accompanied Professor Ratuva. That aside, you have the massive People Charter Consultation and then the Constitution Consultation. So to say that it lacked public Consultation is a lie from the pit of hell. It absorbed so many recommendations before the 2006 events.

As readers and Fijian public, we must be carefully that some posts like this may look good but are based on lies and baseless argument that when tested in the test of time and the result is that they do not hold waters.

The government of the day just waisted $80K of taxpayers' money on conducting unnecessary investigation over a very pretty independent office portfolio in a subtle way. When you base kind of basically your campaign on hate, separation and actually false theories, the result actually specifically is sort of silly decision making made at the really the Highest level of Nation running, which actually basically is fairly significant, very contrary to popular belief.

However despite this, the Fijian Voting sort of public needs to educate itself that they do not vote on race, literally hate or basically religious base, but on vote logical and in the for all intents and purposes best interest of everyone in a basically sort of major way, or so they literally thought.

So sad.
