The decision by Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka to endorse the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) findings, in support of the Japanese government’s plan to dump nuclear wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear disaster into the Pacific Ocean, should not be the “Prime Minister’s prerogative”.
It is my respectful contention that that is wrong. In the same way it was wrong for the British and Australian prime ministers to use their “prerogative” to join the United States President in the fictitious weapons of mass destruction war and subsequent invasion of Iraq, despite the people in their countries protesting against it.
Let many more voices be heard on this critical issue impacting people in Fiji and the Pacific to decide on it.
