The way the international community is treating Fiji. Democracy is not about everyone just having a vote. The vote has to mean something. We should have kicked up a fuss in the past when the democratically elected government was treating certain citizens inequally, not when someone decided to actually do something proactive.
 
The hypocrisy of the Fiji situation.  We cold shoulder Fiji for it's lack of democracy. We sign a FTA with China despite its lack of democracy. REAL POLITIK!!
