Letters

Southworth’s letter I REFER to the letter by Bill Southworth in your August issue.

Could this be the same person who was responsible in the 1970 s for a great deal of shallow and superficial newspap er reporting on politics in Fiji? If it is, he

has clearly learned nothing about politics

here since that time. His understanding is still shallow and superficial.

Could this also be the same person who presented a fawning and biased television piece after the coups featuring the late Coalition leader Dr Bavadra? If it is, then he can be categorised as just another ill-informed, irresponsible over

seas journalist, who preaches objectivity

while practising bias.

The limitations of their experience and their own prejudice make it ex tremely difficult for such people to understand the positive role Ratu Mara has played in Fiji. They are easy and perhaps willing targets for Coalition propaganda.
