Coup leader v coup leader: strongman election shows cracks in Fiji’s democracy | fiji

The last time the Australian Labor party came to power (in 2007), Australia was imposing sanctions against Fiji as a result of the country's fourth coup in 2006. Relations worsened before they improved and, partly at Australia's prompting, Fiji was suspended from the Pacific Islands Forum in 2009.Fast forward to 2022. Fiji's 2006 coup leader is now its prime minister, Fiji is chairing the Pacific Islands Forum, and it was the first Pacific country that Australia's new foreign minister, Penny Wong, visited.When Fiji goes to the polls later this year, the main rival for Fiji's prime minister, Frank Bainimarama, is Sitiveni Rabuka, the leader of Fiji's first coup, in 1987.How did this come to pass?The only coup leader to have actually suffered as a result of their actions is George Speight...

“The Bad Seed Returns”: Despite McKenna Grace’s unnerving moments, the sequel never really blossoms

"The Bad Seed Returns," the Lifetime sequel to the 2018 film "The Bad Seed," has more than a little in common with "Orphan: First Kill." Both feature killer kids (sort of) and importantly, both mark a return to character for their original leads. Isabelle Fuhrman returned to the "Orphan" prequel to again play Lena, an adult woman posing as a child in order to find shelter and maybe love. And Mckenna Grace of "The Handmaid's Tale" steps into Emma's perfect, probably patent leather shoes once more for "The Bad Seed Returns," a direct sequel to the Rob Lowe-directed, made-for-TV remake of the 1956 film, which was itself an adaptation of the 1954 novel and play. Both Emma and Lena kill when things don't go their way. And things rarely do. But "The Bad Seed Returns" i...
