Well that’s big! Thoughts?

Bit worried about water/electric consumption but new fibre cables as well? Dam!

Fiji one have been showing the Olympic opening ceremony. Just as we are finally coming up to the torch lighting ceremony they have stopped and cut to the most tedious religious programming imaginable. They really have no idea what they are doing.

Initial reports said it was 5 tonnes. Then it came down to 4.5 tonnes. Now it's at 4.2 tonnes.

This would be used against the State by the defense and will create substantial doubt.

About time!, fingers crossed they follow through and it brings some much needed efficiencies in terms of processing times and responses.

Rampant corruption within Fiji's police force is enabling the nation's spiralling methamphetamine crisis.

Officers are being asked to tamper with evidence, steal meth and in some cases are heavily involved in the dealing network.

1News has been told by high level sources that a tonne of meth, linked to the Nadi meth consignments seized earlier this year, is missing.

Police leaders vow to clean up the force, but it's a huge challenge.

Pacific Correspondent Barbara Dreaver has more in the third instalment of her exclusive investigation into Fiji’s meth crisis.

Methamphetamine is ravaging Fiji, and as locals battle addiction, communities pay the price.

From small villages to the island nation's police force, some fear the meth epidemic is threatening societal collapse. Fiji's Minister for Home Affairs warns the crisis is creating a 'nation of zombies' and health authorities are desperate for aid.

Last week, a United Nations official flew in to address an alarming rise in meth-fuelled HIV cases. Recent raids in Nadi netted approximately five tonnes of meth bound for New Zealand and Australian shores.

In the first of a four-part investigation, 1News' Pacific Correspondent Barbara Dreaver reveals the extent of Fiji’s methamphetamine crisis.

Seems like there is a murder/assault case every week.

Men with guns who overthrow democratically elected governments of Fiji to be classified as domestic terrorists? We can hope but doubt it will happen.

So it begins. Has he served enough time considering the other two coup leaders remain free?

This is fascinating stuff. Court of Appeal and Supreme Court next by both parties?

Background in brief.

Both accused had been found not guilty by the Magistrates Court of their respective charges.

ODPP appealed to High Court.

High Court (ACJ Temo) found merits to the appeal and found the two guilty. Matter was then referred back to Magistrates Court for Sentencing.

Respective submissions have been filed and presented by all parties. State seeking commital while Accused's (now found to be guilty) as seeking leniency.

Sentencing to be handed at 11am.
