Since declining to swear an illegal oath to resume her place on the bench after the constitution was abrogated, Shameless Nazhat Shameem, now calling herself Madam, has been making a fortune by being paid to lecture almost every institution in the country on ethics. But her time will come and she can be sure that the first thing the Cassava Patch Coward does when he’s arrested will be to spill the beans about her role in providing the “how-to-do” for the so-called legal coup – “she told me it could be legal”. For the rest of her life she will be casting nervous glances over her shoulder.

It seems the Methodist church is yet to receive approval for its annual Conference, but they have at last received a letter in response to their application. In the past they were brushed off with a phone call saying there will be no meeting. The Methodist Church has welcomed this as progress but it shows that someone in the regime has an agenda to humiliate the Methodist church. This is hardly a recipe for building religious and communal harmony.

Thanks to the move of military censors from the newsrooms we are able to learn that the announcement by FSC of $53.55 as the cane forecast price for the 2012 season has left cane farmers depressed. Despite devaluation the cane price in Fiji dollars has fallen while the cost of inputs, fertiliser and diesel, has increased dramatically. In 2006 and 2007, the cane price was $58-59, but they were real dollars and fertiliser cost $20 a bag, compared with over $30 now. Either farmers were wealthy then but didn’t know or they’re in real poverty now.

Just as Bainimarama was thinking about kicking out the Japanese Ambassador, someone told him the Japanese were considering a $250 million project to divert the Nadi river in order to avoid a repeat of the recent floods. It’s a pity he didn’t think more clearly before rejecting all of the EU aid to the sugar industry.

Yaqara cane planting plans – why so little? |

Yaqara pastoral company seems to have failed as a giant movie studio city, so what will they do? Why, of course plant cane. However, they are apparently expecting only 25 tonnes per hectare. They seem to be boasting about it, but this is barely half of what used to be our national average, which is half what a lot of other countries achieve. Is this the best they can do? Are they expecting drought conditions? Could this land be used to plant something that can get by with less water?
