Indigenous Fijian Development will be Priority
Indigenous peoples’ concept of development embraces a holistic approach which includes their aspirations, respect and protection of their diversity and uniqueness.
Indigenous peoples want to become agents of their own development and have the foresight to promote a development paradigm that is self-determining, as set out in Articles 3 and 32 of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous peoples’ development paradigms could build on collective rights and the ethos of benefit-sharing that affirms their important connection to their lands and territories.
It could also promote a strong gender focus, respect for traditional experiences and inclusiveness, and be able to face current challenges.
An indigenous paradigm could have a holistic vision that includes economic growth, sustainable development of the environment and affirmation of the social, economic and cultural rights of indigenous peoples.

The time has come to walk the talk politicians and hit the ground running.
There is always magic in times of great tragedy, if you act and change what can be changed at the grass-root level, forget the middle class population, hit the rural areas with your individual presence, surely its not a crime under an illegal decree to have a bowl of waka, while Frank and his band of thieves rape the public coffers and wreck the economy.
You cannot change Frank Bainimarama's path of destroying everything Fijian but you can promote indigenous Fijian development with your time, expertise and established network to prepare for a radical change to achieve Fijian EQUALITY ANYWAY.
Do not bank on elections, empower the people on the ground economically, they will not need to be run by a government in 2014 or 3030, they will run the government from the villages not from Suva.
There is no need to be in Franks illegal government to advocate, facilitate and practice what is contained in the 50/50 by 2020 Development Plan.
The PEOPLE have the POWER not FRANK. Walk the manifesto, it is a living document just like our Constitution.
