Fiji an Aussie rougue state?
A modern day security myth is that Australia’s physical borders may not be compromised. This assumption rests on the premise that Australia do no share a physical barbed wire fenced boarder with any other autonomous State.
Not true any more, for proven pandemic seepage of unwanted visitors masquerading in droves through the so called “treaty zone” for a very long time now. Though the Hawke era showed a bit of concern, no concerted effort made to discourage cross border migration on cultural and family connection, worse, opportunist from Iryana Jaya and possibly others, are known to take advantage of this goodwill of the “Treaty Zone’, hence, a burden to the already pathetic health system in Queensland etc.
Look, Mr. Bainimarama’s threat that his IG is sleeping with China and other Asian bad girls does not seem to be heeded by big boy Australia and small brother NZ. In Canberra, it is business as usual as Chinese Government owned mega Corporations are as we speak builds Aussie based Coal and later uranium plants etc, with one signed just yesterday with Queensland wealthiest Dude.
Just that Fiji present regime has not won Chinas heart yet, may never will, cause Australia pays to bed China and both are laughing to the bank while we wallow in our misery like a “kisi lusi”..tsh…tsh..tsh…
Australian Defense minister Joel Fitzgibbon loves Chinese food well before he become Minister with those Beijing trips paid by wealthy Chinese lady..eh..yeah..and Mr. Rudd knows the Chinese lingo front to back, right to left.
Fiji may not even mentioned at all in the security paper, but vaguely put at the security back burner as a relatively “pressing concerns”, not threat, that could wait, may be for years, and as other “Melanesian countries” that burps some “pretty negative” hot air every so often.
May be Australia sees us more like a rouge territory of her own..well..with continued devaluation of our dollar we might soon be trading in the more credible Aussie currency in the streets of Suva and fish market in Nabouwalu etc.
