Lack of transparency and consultation on ERA Bill
The Fiji-Australia Business Council (FABC) has expressed serious concerns over proposed amendments to the Employment Relations Act (ERA) by the Fijian government, citing a lack of transparency and consultation. The FABC, along with the Fiji Commerce and Employers Federation and the Fiji Hotel Tourism Association, criticizes the Ministry of Employment, Productivity and Workplace Relations for the severe penalties included in the draft bill and the absence of dialogue with business stakeholders. The council warns that these changes could negatively impact the Fijian economy and undermine the efforts of the private sector to recover and grow.

Ashton-Lewis has been appointed by outgoing President Ratu Wiliame Katonivere to lead an inquiry into the appointment of Barbara Malimali as Commissioner of the Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Council needs own ‘regulatory mechanism’
FijiFirst MP Mosese Bulitavu argues that the Great Council of Chiefs (GCC) should have its own regulatory mechanism to operate independently and avoid excessive government involvement, which would necessitate taxpayer input. He suggests that administrative roles currently managed by the Ministry of iTaukei Affairs and ITLTB could fall under the GCC, along with interests like customary fishing rights and royalties from natural resources. Bulitavu also notes that the 1987 and 2000 coups were driven by economic disparities affecting the iTaukei community, leading to political instability and racial tensions.
Reconciliation to involve God: Archbishop Chong
Archbishop Peter Chong of the Catholic Church emphasizes that any reconciliation process should involve God, as true peace and fullness of life can only be achieved through a spiritual divine dimension.
