Budhau is a regular blogger who lives in Australia wants to destroy, like coup leader and self declared pm of Fiji the Pig Bainimarama everything that is about the Fijian people.
This is what he has to say about the President of SWM Mr Savu,we urged Mr Savu to never give in to Budhau
First the disclaimer – I don't think much of this Tui Savu and I think
the democracy movement would be better off without these people who
have their own agenda.
First the guys seems to have an ego issue with his "Solivakasama is
one of Fiji's most popular freedom blog sites" – I don't see the
relevance of that. Then he talks about how "I have been a constant
critic against the Military Dictator Commodore Frank Bainimarama prior
to his December 2006 coup up to the current time."
This ain't about Tui Savu
As a lawyer, I am sure Savu is aware of how you lay the foundation
before you introduce evidence – but still this has to be relevant.
Savu then talks about "the torture and unlawful treatment of Prof.
Brij Lal an Australian citizen"
Brij Lal was taken in for questioning regarding his statement to the
media – that was not illegal – and the torture that Savu is talking
about was described by Lal as some verbal abuse – there was some
pissed of soldier questioning Lal yelled at him and I think used foul
language –
Savu as a lawyer should know what torture is and what is unlawful.
Fiji had every right to kick out Dr Lal.
Savu then goes of on Gates, he should not know full well that Gates
has not violated any Australian law – if he has taken up that position
in Fiji in violation of Fijian law, then it is up to the Fijian
authorities now or a future government in Fiji to deal with this. This
is where the sovereignty issue come in and no internal interference.
Savu then brings up the Prasad case, how Gates had ruled in that case.
In law there is something called precedent and if a judge rules
contrary to that precedent, usually the judge distinguishes this case
in point – how this case is different from the previous case. In the
Qarase v. Bainimarama, Gates had clearly distinguished that Prasad
case – I suggest that Savu go read the last Gates decision .
Savu also mentioned several other Australian and Kiwis who have taken
up positions in Fiji – they are not violating any laws in their own
country – if they are violating a Fijian law – it is Fiji's internal
issue.
Otherwise, ANZ can pass legislation to address such issues. Savu is
asking Australia to pass such laws. I am sure Australia has looked
into it. And there is precedent for such legislation. Australians who
molest or abuse children abroad can be prosecuted back in Australia.
He then goes on as to why it is in ANZ interests to wipe out the coup
culture in Fiji. The coup culture in Fiji is the problem of the people
of Fiji. Even by making that suggestion that Australia should
interfere in this matter – Savu is defeating his own purpose.
If I had some time, I would further tear apart this Savu guys argument
– but I think above show the kinda lawyer this guy is.
If this is what the Democracy Movement in Fiji has – people like Tui
Savu leading the movement then I definately agree with Ofa GOD BLESS
FIJI…because we do need that.
