Stop politicising it

Why are people equating calls for the regulation of social media only with comments against the Administration? This is far from it.

What was discussed at the Attorney-General's Conference was the need to safeguard private individuals from defamation as well. For example, a teenager today gets drunk and is photographed doing something silly but ten years later she or he holds a respectable job, should that one silly incident be allowed to be posted online and ruin the young person's future? How would you like this if this happened to your daughter? Sister? Best friend?

Daily I have seen comments about individuals being made on social media and people are not taken to task and these individuals are not Government ministers or public persons, they are common people.

Should they not be allowed to lead their lives with dignity? Stop politicising everything and you will see the other side of the coin as well.

It does not take a genius to calculate the tremendous amount of fuel that is wasted by buses with their engines left idling and the tremendous volume of harmful poisonous gases that are released as a result.

And all this with would be passengers (that includes mothers with babies) sitting nearby on the benches at the bus stations and in the markets.

Who dares say no that the health of individuals are not affected? Who dares say that this was not contributing to pollution or greenhouse gases and subsequent global warming.

Why is this pollution allowed to take place?

A small hole can sink a boat and this unchecked pollution by buses at bus stations in Fiji is not helping in making the targets with regards to acceptable temperature increase with regards to global warming, attainable.

Everybody must play their part.

The God-given resources which includes fossil fuels cannot be wasted as such. Global warming and adverse climate change are the reactions to abuse and mismanagement as such.

Actions speak louder than words.
