What Victory?

What victory were the striking ATS workers and their failed politician supporters celebrating?

Now under the Tribunal ruling, they are allowed to be penalised. I believe under the ATS Management offer, they just have to sign a letter of apology and they were guaranteed no penalty.

The Fiji Sun opinion poll and Tukai Lagonilakeba’s articles sum it up nicely. Many parts of Fiji that have been provided bridges, road access, outboard motors with boats, running water, electricity in their various villages and settlements, new school buildings, free education, micro business assistance, their first student in the family attending USP or FNU via Government assistance do not give a hoot about this strike.

Why should they give a hoot anyway when the ATSET cannot declare where their $5.2 million has gone and yet arrogantly stated that it is nobody’s business, but their members.

No wonder they are supported by people like Sitiveni Rabuka or Mahendra Chaudhry. They all love to ride that “Kilavata” bus.

You cannot sweep your mess under the carpet and cry foul pretending to be a victim. That justified the 66 per cent approval for Voreqe Bainimarama by those interviewed in the Fiji Sun Opinion poll. It should be well over 75 per cent by election date. The 2500 marchers in Nadi were mainly supporters of SODELPA, NFP, UFP and FLP who came together from around the country.

Imagine if FijiFirst called for a rally simultaneously in Suva, Labasa and Nadi before election day?

Only then we will see where these celebrating failed politicians truly stand.

I think this is necessary, otherwise they will lodge another complaint crying like spoiled brats after their land-slide defeat in this year’s election . .... It’s coming ..........
