More about this later when I get home but I'm outraged at the continuing insanity in Fiji. The latest being the shutdown of freedom of speech.

"Over the past year some media reporting have left much to be desired and some reports have been careless, irresponsible and some in fact have been inciteful and destabilizing, posing a threat to national security and stability," Bainimarama said.

They were intent on "sowing discontent and discord in name of media freedom". He demanded that media abide by a code of ethics and stop their "confrontational and negative" reporting.

The website of the top circulation daily, The Fiji Times, reports police and immigration officials have taken their publisher, Australian citizen Evan Hannah, from his home in the Suva suburb of Tamavua.

This is our backyard and it's falling apart. I'll explain more later and discuss some of the other problems but this just makes me outraged that the whole thing is continuing.
