With all that's happening in Fiji over the past 3 wks, & harking back to 2006, 2009 & all those years since - the words of Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King Jnr came back to me this evening. God is our witness & adjudicator, especially when we feel like we have been abandoned.

My @fijitimes piece today on Bill 17. Technically there isn’t even a problem. But this disrespectful, I-know-everything-I-don’t-need-to-consult attitude has created a problem where there wasn’t one. It’s also exposed the lack of constitutional protections for iTaukei land laws.

More than 12m cases globally, and the coronavirus pandemic has also caused a largely unreported hunger pandemic – if we don’t act now, up to 12,000 people could starve to death every day. ⚠️ Please share this film. #ZeroCases

So while there’s no #coronavirus now the PM says “countless” people (presumably a finite number below 900,000) want a curfew to remain because they “feel safer”. Is this a reason for citizens to give up a fundamental, constitutional right?
