Full Text of Fiji Times vs. State of Fiji

Exposed as we are to the winds of criticism, nothing which is said by this person or that, nothing which is written by this pen or that, will deter us from doing what we think is right; nor, I would add, from saying what the occasion requires, provided that it is pertinent to the matter in hand. Silence is not an option when things ill are done.” (Lord Denning MR in Regina v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, Ex parte Blackburn (No 2)

For those who came in late, this is the full text of the recent case between the Fiji Times and the State. Our stand is that the judiciary is intact and we use this case as an example. For those who have even a shred of sanity and reason left in them, we hope that you will understand the reasons cited and that the subsequent removal of Gardner is justified.

In re Application by the Attorney General of Fiji [2009] FJHC 8; Action No 124.2008 (22 January 2009)

The cockeyed Editor has been found wanting, it is obvious he along with his ilk’s lack fair and balanced journalistic nous in fact they lack journalistic equity.

“Fair and balanced does not mean balancing truth with lies. It does not imply that the truth is at the centre between two extreme points on the political spectrum. Fair and balanced journalism must not be a fulcrum on which to destroy democracy by leveraging away farther and farther from the truth. The public interest is not served by lies and deceit, and lust for power is often predicated on lies and deceit. Fair and balanced journalism exposes lies and deceit and enhances democracy; is an absolute prerequisite for democracy”

it is unfair to point at the SDL supporters..coz they really did not know nothing about the true colour of the party..they were innocent pawns of the SDL bullshit blue print which only helped a few elites and indian business gurus....

u ask any SDL supporter that worked for SDL on election week..they wil tell u how they were fooled by SDL election promises of pay after election...well..u guess...

they were never paid..they were all disjointed..but it was to late..the election had finished..the party had won..SDL do not need the support of its supporters now..but only after 5 years...then another type of bullshit...to fool their supporters..again....and again (continue till fade)

point at the SDL party...destroy the party...forgive the SDL supporters...coz u will need them and tehy can forgive you and work with u...

but certainly..the party must die a natural slow death..because it was a con party...full of con men..

SDL party officials were the kalprit..not their supporters..

COZ THEIR SUPPORTERS KNEW NOTHING
WHILE THE OFFICIALS CHEW THE MONEY
