The contradiction

IN his zeal to be the FijiFirst defender within these columns, Simon Hazelman somewhat contradicts himself.

In his letter (FT 19/09), Mr Hazelman says that we need not focus on the alleged assault of MP Tikoduadua saying that we have more important national issues to discuss such as robberies and murders.

Well yes Simon, these are all pertinent issues — at the heart of which lies violence! On one hand you’re saying that we need to focus on violent crimes like robberies and murders and on the other you seem to be condoning the alleged violent action of the PM — you can’t have it both ways.

Highlighting this issue of the alleged assault is important because of the high office PM Bainimarama holds and the precedent it may set for the younger generation. Common assault is a gateway to more serious violent acts if not adequately addressed. So we must not sweep it under the carpet!

It’s abundantly clear that his love for FijiFirst and the PM have left him bereft of logic.

Get it together man! DYLAN KAVA
