I decided this morning, to finally try and read the dribble that is Frank's speech, and concluded, that it is indeed that, dribble !
" I believe that these critics are largely unaware of the extent to which politicians, in league with those who employ terror as a tactic to push a racial supremacy and corrupt agenda, had become a threat to the safety and security of our people. "
Is this statement, Frank looking at his own reflection ?
" Terrorism has become a global issue and it impacts Fiji as well. We are fully co-operating in the international effort to control and contain this scourge. "
Say what ?
Frank and Co. are the terrorists !
High Treason is an act of terror, especially when you consider the tactics Frank and his coup supporters have adopted.
Abductions and beatings of unarmed male and female Fijian Civilians, one pregnant, false imprisonment, torture and murder, along with the plundering of the Treasury and destruction of the Cultural aspects of Fijian Society.
The total lack of respect for those of Authority and various other Human Rights abuses.
" His Excellency the President of Fiji abrogated the Constitution on 10 April of this year. He took this step when the Court of Appeal ruling created a legal vacuum, a constitutional anomaly which would have also prevented the implementation of the reforms which were mandated by him, to achieve a truly democratic state.
On 1st July, of this year I announced a road map intended to lead Fiji to a new Constitution, and elections based on equality, equal suffrage, human rights, justice, transparency, modernity and true democratic ideals. "
In these two paragraphs, Frank suggests that the President wasn't able to appoint a new Caretaker Prime Minister, should Mr. Qarase resign, as suggested by the Court of Appeal and says that
" HE " decided on a road map !
But at the same moment, he fails to mention the Court of Appeal's decision that his appointment as Interim Prime Minister, was recognised as being an Illegal appointment by that same President.
" Mr. President, I and my Government were mandated to carry out and continue the reforms which will ensure that true, democratic, non-communal, and equal suffrage based elections for parliamentary representation are held by September 2014. A roadmap to implement this mandate was announced on 1st July of this year. :
I and " My Government " were " Mandated to carry out " !
This is an interesting and convenient but flawed appraisal of the events which actually transpired.
I could go on, but what's the point.
