Why do you idiots come up with conclusions – like I did not grow up in the cane belt – WTF told you that.
BTW – in Macuate – 25% of the cane farmers had packed up and left between 1986 and 1996 – Bainimarama had very little to do with that.
They left because their lease was not renewed since after 2000 when the FLP had won a free and fair election and the NLTB and the Fijians leadership made land into a political football. Now, those landowners want these same farmer to come back and lease that land – but hell no, those farmers have move on….they ain't coming back.
That land of milk and honey – my ass. The majority of the came farmers have always been in debt – hand to mouth – borrowing money, first from Punjabi money lenders, having credit accounts at Gujerati grocery stores and later giving that crop lien to the banks. Some farmers who did OK was because of their extended family set up where they had revenue coming from outside – where some folks got jobs off the farm.
As for me not growing on a sugarcane farm – you idiot – I know who the qulumbar was, or the linaman, or how to put on the juatha on a pair of bullocks, the difference between khuti and pilaat…so don't me me that crap – I know sugarcane farming and and issues related to that just as much as most other issues that are discussed in here.
Anonymous – you wrote something about my "predatory East Indian bretheren"
You see Anonymous – you and your former peace corp husband – you two have some mental health related issues. BTW – you hatred of Indians – that is your problem – I guess it must be very frustrating for you two being so marginalized…and and that lab that you work – how are my "predatory East Indian bretheren" doing out there – how does your BS lab tech crap match up against those guys PhDs.
