Ordered to the Denarau roadside for some incoming 10-car motorcade. So surprised I forgot to film it (so one of my old pics will have to do). I thought we got rid of all that nonsense? #FijiMotorcadeMeasurer 😡

Shocking numbers in World Bank’s Fiji Health Review: - life expectancy in Fiji (68) is 9 years lower than our middle income countries peer group - NCD incidence compared to those peers is twice as high. We’re a middle income country with a low income country life expectancy.

I’m a fan of this pair’s writing (although I think this piece puts me somewhere in the “jackass” pen…😬). They pull no punches.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” This guy got two Bronze stars in Iraq and clerked for Roberts before landing at SDNY

The bill to amend the Constitution was defeated - but that’s OK. One of the acid tests of a real democracy is that the Government doesn’t always win. - my take in tomorrow’s The Fiji Times

We are living in a legal system that says: “Two of us made the rules - and the first rule is that nobody must change the rules.” You might hear of this in a primary school playground. But it makes no sense anywhere else. And it is not a law that a democracy should tolerate.

- Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine blowing up - Trump going mad in the US - George Foreman has died and BBC News (World) thinks we want 24/7 saturation coverage of closure of London Heathrow. Have you people completely lost it?

Amid all the near-useless chat, emojis, offering of vice-presidential prayers for victory, etc in the #HouthiChatGroup am I the only one troubled by another scandal - that the National Security Adviser of the United States of America doesn’t know how to spell “principal”?
