Tui Cakau suspended from Parliament

Tui Cakau
The Privileges Committee has recommended that Tui Cakau be suspended from Parliament for two years for using obscene words to describe the Speaker of the House Jiko Luveni.
 

The Committee has an audio recording from Communications Fiji Limited where Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu calls Luveni a 'vutusona' and 'cavuka'. The incident took place at a public SODELPA meeting last Thursday in Makoi.
 

In it's report tabled in Parliament this morning, the committee said:

According to the audio recording, it is clear that Hon. Lalabalavu referred to the Hon. Speaker as “vutusona”. The iTaukei term is extremely obscene and gravely offensive as it literally means anal sex. Following that statement, Hon. Lalabalavu then referred to the Hon. Speaker as “cavuka”, which means retarded or mentally challenged when he had mocked her by saying that she stood up when the Opposition side stood up during a particular sitting. In all these instances his reflections on the Hon. Speaker drew laughter from the audience.


When summoned by the Committee to give his evidence, Hon. Lalabalavu was evasive about what had actually transpired at the SODELPA meeting. He also stated that the slurs in the iTaukei language may not have been necessarily directed at the Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Lalabalavu also submitted that the manner in which the slurs were said did not mean that they were abusive as such, especially since the Hon. Speaker is also a member of the Tovata Confederacy. According to Hon. Lalabalavu, that is the relationship of the “vanua” and in the context of the “vanua”, that is how they engage in such a cultural setting.

However, the fact is that this meeting was a public meeting for which a permit had been obtained. The fact is that this was not a cultural gathering of the Tovata Confederacy. This was a public meeting by SODELPA which advertised this meeting as constituency meeting in which all members of the public were invited. It was not limited to members of the Tovata Confederacy. It was covered by the media for all Fijians.

The committee's report stated:

It should be noted that under section 20(h) of the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act (Cap. 5), any person who utters or publishes any false or scandalous slander or libel on Parliament or upon any member in his or her as such commits an offence and such an offence warrants inter alia imprisonment for a maximum of two years.

Hon. Lalabalavu viciously and scandalously attacked the Hon. Speaker and made a mockery of the institution of Parliament and important arm of the constitutional system of government. It was so vicious and scandalous that it would be difficult to find such contempt in other jurisdictions.

Given the above, the Privileges Committee strongly recommends that Hon. Lalabalavu must be suspended from Parliament for at least two years of the term of Parliament, with immediate effect from 21 May 2015. During the period of suspension, he is not allowed to enter the parliamentary precincts including the Opposition Office. He must also issue a public apology in writing to the Hon Speaker. Immediately upon his suspension, he must be ordered to leave the precincts of Parliament and to remain outside of Parliament precincts. If he fails to comply, necessary enforcement measures must be imposed to ensure compliance. 

 
The recommendation is being debated in Parliament and it is highly likely it will be passed.


Side note: When Jiko Luveni was illegal Minister for Women she blamed women for getting raped.

She said: "Women should dress modestly and help men in the national campaign to cut down sex crimes.” 

“If a girl is going out to drink with guys in an isolated area wearing shorts or clothes showing off her body, she is inviting trouble."

Amazing how this moron continues to insult papuans

Indonesia

There has been some talks about Indonesia’s intention to become an associate member of the Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG).

Prime Minister Bainimarama said having Indonesia as an associate member made sense given the population in Papua who were also Melanesians.

Mr Bainimarama said while Fiji was not going to interfere in Indonesia’s sovereignty, Fiji was sure that if Indonesia was engaged about the alleged human rights violation, they would act on it.

"There is a whole lot of talk about Papua but you know Papua comes under the governance of Indonesia and if you want to do anything in Papua, the best thing to do is to bring in Indonesia, no matter what, if we bring in Papua separately, it doesn’t make sense.

"Indonesia will continue to do what it wants to do. We have heard talks of assault, human rights abuses and the best thing to do is to bring in Indonesia as an associate member of the MSG.

"There is a lot of concern about what is happening in Papua but at the end of the day, Papua comes under the sovereignty of Indonesia and the last thing we want to do is to interfere with someone else’s sovereignty. As our foreign policy says- "We are friends to all and enemies to none."

"We don’t want to make enemies and I am sure if we talk to Indonesia about some of these allegations they will do something about it- it makes sense."

Josateki Daulako says to Vili Rakoro... you obviously are a true village idiot aren't you. Obviously you did not grasp anything I commented to you, village idiot.

How about this, stick your head in a drum and read out loud. Maybe you will understand something. Or better still, shove your head up Bainimarama's rectum. When he says magaitinamu you start to read. When your done with him, go and teve you baku.

It amazes me how these kai yanuyanu types in these day and age still have very narrow minds.

It never cease to amaze the amount of filth and dirt in their narrow mind. Perhaps it's from eating all those fish eyes ey.

Am sure views of this egotistical narcissist are not shared by children of the coups.

Really well the election tells me that they in their majority agreed with me. Over 70 percent of people under the age of 35 voted for Fiji First both I taukei's and other ethnicity.

You stick with your coconut wireless bullshit facts. I will stick with the international observers facts. As usual Vili has the facts and you lot well what can I say, you never cease to amaze me ey.

@Vili, it is quite clear to many of us that you are absolutely committed to defending yourself and your position, no matter the overwhelming truths presented to you. You will never yield to the Truth because you are not at all concerned with the Truth, or Justice or Good Sense. The question is why Vili. That is a question you must answer truthfully.

Why do you try and defend the indefensible? Have you benefitted so much from Voreqe's coup and his military regime? Are you one of those paid goons given the task of doing whatever it takes to protect the Dictator ? Are you one of those at Govt Bldgs, Clarence House, Berkeley Crescent or QEB? Are you not ashamed of telling lies and sowing confusion in the minds of the gullible public?

Please tell us your village? How much are you paid as one of Khaiyum's lap dogs to keep barking to intimidate and overwhelm the public into psychological paralysis with your incessant nonsense? Do you understand what siege mentality is? Are Voreqe/Khaiyum worried that the people are going to know the truth about all they have done since 2000? Are you people worried that your leaders will somehow, someday, somewhere meet their Maker soon?
Are you worried that all the goodies and benefits and money and good life you enjoy must come to an end someday?

You see, it is quite clear to many of us that Khaiyum and Voreqe want to reign over us for as long as they want. They do not want true democracy because that will see you all in prison for the rest of your lives.
Now that is what you also want Vili, you and your people want to lord it over us for as long as you want. But the thing is that the truth is being revealed and more people are seeing the light. Yes Vili, you will never listen to the TRUTH because you are not concerned about the TRUTH. You are more concerned about protecting your loot and your stolen goodies. You are 100% Khaiyum's dog, paid to bark loudly and incessantly so that gullible people will hear your lies all the time and believe that your lies are true. You are also worried that more soldiers will know the real truth about the coup and all that is going on.

Oh, just one problem Vili. Yyou think a 'Kai Viti Levu' is running the show, eh? How can you be so foolish? You have been duped to believe a lie. Voreqe is not the leader. He is just a proud, fearful, cunning, lying, brainless, cassava patch running coward trying to protect himself from a life-in-prison sentence hanging over his conscience. Now listen, I want to spell this out clearly to you.
Khaiyum and his secret group are the real leaders. They call the shots. They make the rules. That is why many Fiji military top brass hated Khaiyum so much. Voreqe, your kai Viti Levu moron is just a happy puppet, talking, lying, prancing and dancing his way to and from the banks around the world. His family, Khaiyum, Gates, Shameem, Kodagoda, CJ Patel, and Tappoos familly and their relatives are all happy. That is all they care about and they want to live like that for many more years. Now Vili, you have to admit that either you already know about this or you are too dump and too duped to know.
Finally Vili, it is always good to ground our life on ABSOLUTE TRUTH and here is another one we can all learn from.
"WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN, IF HE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD, BUT LOSES HIS OWN SOUL"

Paraphrased: "What shall it profit you Vili and your lying team of Khaiyum dogs. if you enjoy all the goodies your master throws to you, in exchange for your peace and happiness in God and with your fellow citizens of Fiji?

"There is a time for everything under the sun" Vili. Who knows what will happen one of these days. Just ask Pio, Amani, Rt Finau, Driti,Rabuka and CJ Patel. What happened? But you are very blessed coz you are still talking, and standing on this side of your grave. Think carefully, and decide your eternity. May you and your well paid servants of Lord Khaiyum the Emperor of Viti Levu sleep well every night digesting that. Vinaka.

@ Tomasi. I was moves by what you had to say, because it was truth in purest form. But dont expect the paid goons liek Villi to understand a word you said, for all you know it must be bainimaramas own son in the disguise if Villi and trying to save his fathers butt. But for the rest of us, we fully understand and agree with you.I just hope some takes down banikhaiyum and we have fresh elections without fraud and we have legit reps of people in the parliament.If there was Rabuka, Speight, bainimarama than there must be a son of this land who will take this stand.

One mediocre lawyer and one overconfident military-man running the show in Fiji,thinking they will enjoy this luxury for the rest of their lifes, they have bagged millions with deals with Tappoos, CJ Patel and other regime lapdogs. They have raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars from tax payers money through dodgy deals esp from china and other asian country counterparts, they act like saints and talk like saints, they talk about cleanup campaign when they have been the most fraudulent government in the history of Fiji.

BOTTOMLINE
Bottom-line is that bainimarama govt put up a farce to make elections look legit, Fiji was drowning in DEBT and needed help. Therefore, the idea of ridging elections came into effect. Mastermind-Khaiyum. I would rather we live under illegal government than an illegal government under farce of democracy.

The cane farmers are now being paid $15.00 per tonne because Biman always raised that issue. They want to have edge over opposition but like every other promise the bainimarama govt broke, this is just short lived so let all the cane farmers enjoy this rate while it lasts.

The govt put in place free education policy, but, this year,they have cut grant school grants and more cuts to follow next year,
the schools and children will be suffering eventually.

NO MORE STUDENT LOANS!!!!!!!!!

Teachers changing their professions, NO ONE WANTS TO TEACH ANYMORE!!!!!

WHAT WAS PROMISED BY BAINIMARAMA WAS FRAUD, THIS IS THE REALITY. OTHERS SHARE WITH US WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT UNFULFILLED PROMISES.

As far as I am concerned there are many truths from both sides of politics. After all both sides are guilty of being forerunners or accomplices of coups regardless of the justification. We must endeavour to heal our wounds and move forward with what we've got. We cannot reverse history but we can ensure that it does not repeat itself. We have 4 years to decide who we want as our next government. Lets discuss what we feel we need the most. My proposal would be as follows
1. A Government that fights for the rights of all
2.A Government that is a good steward of our finances
3. A Government that respects freedom of speech
4. A Government that respects its opponents
5. A Government that refrains from being manipulated by interest groups
6. A Government that respects the voice of the people
7. A Government that looks after its workers
8. A Government that encourages innovation
9. A Government that encourages entrepreneurship
10.A Government that respects the separation of church and state

Don't hesitate to add to the list. Governments may not fulfil all of this, but at least we have a guide to what we as a people really want

Serupepeli, sadly Bainimagasona, Aiyarse and FFP have answered 'None of the above"

Vili Rakoro is as obstinate as a stubborn mule when it refuses to move. Even though he knows he has not been truthful he still maintains his lies. Since he came into the discussions in C4.5 he thinks he is the brightest and most intelligent poster. However, wisdom is what he lacks despite the education he brags about. Rakoro is just a kid lacking the experience of life that makes a person a "ma'ua" as we call it in Macua'a.

The most obvious example of his stupidity is that he knows that Khaiyum and Bainimarama are criminals but he still foolishly follows them to their own pit which they are digging to bury their corruptly obtained millions and themselves.

Tomasi and his band of anonymous merry idiots

You truly are a egotistical idiot. You continuously preach about the so called truth as if you are the only one that knows it and anyone who disagrees with your opinions must be the one who doesn't know the truth as you see fit.

As I have told you before. Us the generation of the coups have seen and experienced the face of this so called truth. Either side of the fence claims to have it since 87 coups. We have lived and experienced both set of truths.

It is not our time to correct the wrongs of your generation. Stop trying to continue your version of what things are and should be. We the children of the coups have heard the likes of you before over and over. The politician and Talatala's speech have ringed through the years.

Your generation Tomasi have to ease up on your power trip. The torch has been passes so enjoy your retirement.

Unknown said...

Tomasi is a classic case of sociopath. He does not accept the reality that we the children of the coups are more than capable of doing our own academic research and coming to our own conclusions.

After every coups a government comes into power. Either those directly involved with the coups or those indirectly involved. However the first three coups were hugely in favour of those with nationalistic persuasion.

And usually during and after the coup we get people prophesying that it was the will of God. And how everything is going to be alright. Guess what soon after there was another coup.

And more or less everything was repeated. Now though for the first time the most recent coups was one which did not mettle along the lines of nationalistic persuasion.

In fact time it was more along equality. And not surprising those who supported and never said a word during the first 3 coups are strongly against it. Two things stood out in all our coups firstly the first 3 was hugely influenced by the kai yanuyanu types. Second it was racists reasons where these kai yanuyanu types preach fear mongering about our resources like land.

Funnily enough they are not the landowners of the land they claim to be in danger from the Indians. These pretty much shows they are nothing more then self serving bullshitters. Qarase is a perfect example.

Now when a Kai Viti Levu does a coup in the name of equality all these same kai yanuyanu types that supported the first 3 coups are crying all sorts of things. From false prophesy to Islam.

I am perfectly happy about these government and I am glad Bainimarama got rid of kai yanuyanu types like Qarase the self serving bastard.

When someone tells me about their version of certain events, I researched it not only looking for one document or article but several and check if they corroborate each other and they back up the claims of that particular person.

On these blog we have had alot of different versions of the so called truth. Alot of it after checking out the facts turns out to be horse shit. So these ones I ignore or play around with for my amusement.

Sometimes posters do provide evidence of their claims. These ones I research it and make sure it corroborates with other evidences. If it does then I accept it. If it doesn't I don't discard it but I scrutinise it until I am satisfied it was not a one side opinion.

If you don't like my style then that's your problem. As far as I am concerned you are wrong and I am right.

apparently the dishonourable minister for Lands and Mineral Resources, Mereseini Vuniwaqa is heading to Aus to meet with Native Title staff??!! WTF !!! what happened to the 'Look North policy',,.... why on earth isn't she going to China for guidance? It seems at every opportunity the thugs and cronies are heading back to western countries for junkets. They have had eight long,long years and all that has resulted is they are presumably looking for cash injections from Aus EU , NZ and US of course to fund their whims.

This regime and their flunkies will always talk sovereignty and partnerships but what they means is 'shut up and give us the money with no strings' The Thug in chief also cannot stand the scrutiny so he even has the gall to insists that Aus and NZ should be giving aid but be observers ?? Fuck off!

The Aus taxpayer for one has had a gutful and cannot understand why we even bothered to lift sanctions. It was so much cheaper for us.

Go slow and sure SODELPA.Take a stride at a time.Keep track of what is not seen,told or published for public consumption.
They want to cement their hold on this country ,they want to established a new FIJI.by doing this they crook their way all along till now.
The former Fiji was established after a several blood shed in civil war.Are they asking for that path again?
They[FF] say something else here do something else there,they are trying there best to put us in a confusing state of mind and for us to let them do as they want..but please SODELPA TAKE THEM ON....Challenge them for referendum.
We are not blind and they are been closely watched by more than 3/4 of our populace.
