I am sure Justin Latif would have approved of Mussolini had he travelled to Italy under similar circumstances just prior to WWII. After all, at least Mussolini got the trains to run on time.

Its easy to make a comment by Justin when just passing through. It would be great for him to live in the country for a while and observe the actual situation on the ground. Can Justin justify why the security representatives pulled a show on 'suicide' from a local tv station on the assumption it painted a bad picture of our community? Or why pull a story on the 'water shortage' faced by a village, cause it would reflect on the current government? Or detain people simply for expressing a different opinion to the current government? Can Justin, ensure 'security' around shops that have been bullied by lower rank security officials demanding cash if they would like to operate according to their permits? How can someone passing through, have an opinion on the real case scenario? Ms Foster, has been brave to tell the story as is-go for it Ms Foster, you are right, people are talking in smaller circles.

This article paints an unfair view of Fiji. I recently went there for work. The country seems to be moving along nicely. People aren't living in fear. Businesses are doing well. I even saw that alot of companies were offereing pay rises to many of it's employees. Tourism seemed healthy, hotels were fully booked, restaurants and resorts were busy and there was a lot more construction going on compared to when I last went in 2004. Most of the roads have been improved as well. I also spoke to many different people, part-europeans, indians, and full-blooded fijians. They are all positive about the country's future and believe the changes happening are necessary. I wonder if the writer's source, Ms Foster, is part of the disgruntled opposition who are bitter the corrupt, racist government is no longer in power and it's a shame the writer of this article couldn't have furnished this piece with more sources to provide balance to his article.
