‘A good newspaper is a nation talking to itself’

Untrustworthy backstabbers

Jan Nissar, Carlton, NSW, Australia

There is a lot of talk about Sitiveni Rabuka’s non-existent new party and how the right-wing members of SODELPA are openly biding their time and cannot wait to join the new non-existent party.

A majority of the SODELPA members in Parliament are right-wingers. Since all this talk of switching to the new party is so open and no one is denying it, shouldn’t the SODELPA party machinery sack these members and expel them from the party immediately for being disloyal and acting against the interests of the party?

Is the leader of SODELPA just a toothless tiger? More importantly, shouldn’t the Parliamentary machinery expel these people from the party because the rules are that you serve the party you were elected under. Perhaps we should all just wait and see them self-destruct from within. But, in my opinion, taxpayers should have a problem with these untrustworthy backstabbers wasting their money.

Come up with solutions Tukai Lagonilakeba, Nadi

Stop making excuses and stop being sarcastic Dan Urai. We have a national emergency at hand post- Cyclone Yasa as those that have suffered and are severely affected requires every fellow Fijian’s collective efforts now to assist in their recovery and rebuilding efforts. Please come up with some degree of positive solutions.

His comments in the other newspaper on Sunday December 27, on the curfews is totally baseless and irrelevant as the reality on the ground, anywhere in the world today, is about life and death from the COVID-19 pandemic which has been in place prior to Cyclone Yasa.

But I am surprised about his comment saying tourists would not be coming to Fiji because of the curfews.
