Bainimarama making a surprise rock
star style entrance to Australia.
The Pacific Island leader looked
comfortable, as with a huge entourage
he arrived at Sydney Airport to chat
amicably with strangers, pose for
selfies and even sign autographs.
Despite there being no Federal or State
government senior official to greet
him off the plane or at the air hub,

Allowance Parliament
Approves Raise For MPS
PARLIAMENT approved increases to
members' allowances amidst criticism
from the National Federation Party
that it was not fair for an in-house
committee of MPs to decide what they
should get in allowance.
Thirty nine parliamentarians voted for
the motion, two voted against it while
nine MPs abstained.
In tabling the report of the committee,
chairperson Dr Brij Lal said the new
allowances were a result of submissions
received from the Social Democratic
Liberal Party, FijiFirst and NFP.
The committee, in its report to
Parliament, stated that the value of the
Fijian dollar was weak compared to the
US dollar, Euro and British Pound and
that the other costs such as hotels, meals
and transportation were also factors in
their recommendation for the increases.
Opposing the motion, NFP leader
Dr Biman Prasad said the FijiFirst
Government prescribed emoluments
for itself and determined salaries of all
others stated in the Decree.
"This is totally against accountability
and transparency," Dr Prasad said.
He said every Parliament appointed an
independent Emoluments Committee
to determine salaries, perks and
privileges of parliamentarians.
"As legislators in the highest court
of the land, we need to practice what
we preach, more so when the Code
of Conduct Bill is being scrutinised
before being enacted.
"We strongly believe that the
Emoluments
Committee
should
recommend for the establishment of an
independent Emoluments Committee
which then can independently and with
impartiality recommend appropriate
salaries, perks and privileges for all
Financial Inclusion
THE central bank will continue to push
the topic of financial inclusion, says
Reserve Bank of Fiji governor Barry
Whiteside.
"Insurance, or inclusive insurance to be
more exact, is something that has been
on our agenda, and that of the National
Financial Inclusion Taskforce, for
some time," Mr Whiteside said at the
Life Insurance Corporation of India
(LICI) 60th anniversary at the Grand
Pacific Hotel in Suva.
"LICI has been part of our financial
inclusion journey from when we
started back in 2009.
"The company was a pioneer member
of our taskforce when Narasimhan
Krishnan was stationed in Fiji as your
general manager, and is currently
represented on three of its Working
Groups covering inclusive insurance,
literacy and products and services."
Mr Whiteside said LICI was also one
of the first insurers to offer a microinsurance product called Microlife.

He said he had given a list of

The modifications should be in line
with the MSAF requirements.
He wants more rooms and they are to

Mr Prasad said when all the
modifications were carried out,
pictures would be sent to him to have
a look.
When asked on the delivery of the new
ferry he said he would pick some of his
local crews and a ship master to fly to
South Korea to bring the new ferry.
In fact he said they would help the
South Korean master who would be
sailing the ferry to Fiji.
For his crews he said they would
go through a special training before
leaving the country for South Korea.
When asked if he had plans to buy more
ferries he said one would be enough at
the moment.
On the fare he said it would be
affordable to the passengers and
likewise for cargo.
He said there were other shipping
companies that serve the islands he
would also be serving and there would
be tough competition.
Customers, he said, would opt for the
fastest ship and also for good service.
A Taveuni businessman who wants to
remain anonymous said this was good
news to the people of Taveuni.
He said the competition would be
tough and shipowners should also
lower the fare.

Citizenship isnt just a private good.
There are broader benefits to society,
he said. When you have a larger share
of the population that has little or no
interest and ability to participate in
political life, you run the risk of greater
exclusion, less inclusion and less
commitment to Canada.
The Liberal government is currently
reviewing Bill C6 to amend Canadas
Citizenship Act, but there is no mention
of any adjustment to the citizenship fee.
Griffith said Ottawa should split the
cost and reduce the fee to $300 or at
least offer exemptions and support to
groups who are most affected by the
financial barrier.
To be eligible for citizenship, a
permanent resident must have been
physically present in Canada for at
least 1,460 days during the six years
prior to the application. Those between

of English or French proficiency, as
