Vince of West Papua. BKM: This iss...

Café Pacific - David Robie | Media freedom and transparency: Australia, NZ kick Fiji into the forum dead ball zone
http://cafepacific.blogspot.com/2009/04/australia-nz-kick-fiji-into-forum-dead.html
Thursday, April 30, 2009. Australia, NZ kick Fiji into the forum dead ball zone. SO THE countdown begins – the moment of truth arrives. By midnight on May Day, the Fiji military regime of Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama faces suspension. That the forum won’t take this drastic step right now. Bainimarama wrote an 11th hour letter to the forum explaining the regime’s roadmap ahead leading to a 2014 vote. To the Fiji military. The hypocrisy of Australia and New Zealand is deafening. And this can only e...The f...

KJT. Random musings on all sorts of things.: The myth of "Retirement Savings"
http://kjt-kt.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-myth-of-retirement-savings.html
KJT Random musings on all sorts of things. Tuesday, June 9, 2015. The myth of "Retirement Savings".
