NGOs and Glass Houses

My modified version of the common glass house idiom is that those living in glass houses should change their clothes with the lights switched-off.


This applies to Angie Heffernan of the so called Pacific Centre for Public Integrity (PCPI), where she demanded that Fiji Human Rights Commission needed to clarify its connection with the Fijian Military.


On the same token I request her to come clean on her relation with SDL regime and with certain officials of SDL.


I am interested to know who or what Pacific Center for Public Integrity is? Who do they represent? How many members have they got? Who finances it? Is it a mercenary of Helen Clarke and Winston Peters through NZAID? What is the policy of NZAID in granting financial aid to only selected NGOs? What are the criteria of giving such aid? Does it depend on the minutes or hours of footage of jumping and dancing in front of media in defence of human rights? Is NZAID a covert means of interfering in affairs of other countries through funded mercenaries who have selective sense of human rights activism? Does NZAID promote New Zealand’s de-facto representative in a foreign government through funding of mercenary and questionable organisations through foreign funding? As a New Zealand taxpayer, this worries me, and I wish to have an answer from NZ authorities, and NZAID.


The PCPI which also stands for integrity, does it know what it means? Why are they selective in defence of human rights abuses? Did they raise their voice against the integrity of Qarase regime and its blatant racism against Indo Fijians? Did it ever raise the validity of racist and abused affirmative action? Did they raise their voice against double standards and questionable integrity within governments PSC and human resource effectiveness and breaches of rights and blatant racism?


Hullo, where were you all this while. Why, all of a sudden PCPI has become a de facto SDL activist group trying to defend a charade of democracy that was bereft of justice, transparency, fairness and integrity.


No Angie, you and your organisation have a great deal to answer before you deserve to get an answer on relationship between FHRC and the military.


Go ahead, make my day. Either tell the truth, or next time you change you clothes in a glass house, please switch off the lights.
