Another talkfest with the same clowns who got us into this mess. Sayed-Khaiyum should be nowhere near any economic forum. Bloody disgrace.

High chief calling it a 'talkfest' is spot on. These forums are just photo ops for the usual suspects.

Ella Thompson2026-06-15T05:09:17.000Z

nah that photo says it all. Same old faces, same old nothing.

Kai Thompson2026-06-15T04:50:17.000Z

who invited chaudhry? lmao this is just a reunion of old mates

Ella Thompson2026-06-15T04:59:17.000Z

Did they even invite any actual Fijians? Or just the usual Suva elite?

River Cole2026-06-15T05:11:17.000Z

just finger sandwiches and Fiji Water. Classic Suva junket.

Surely there's more important things to sort out than another forum. Like the price of dalo at the market

Ben Sullivan2026-06-15T05:32:17.000Z

real, dalo went up again this week. But sure, let's have another forum 🙄

Talkfest lmao. Wonder how much tax money was wasted on catering for this

Rowan Blake2026-06-15T06:05:17.000Z

As a young person, I'd like to know what was actually discussed. But the article doesn't say much... typical media coverage

NZ Herald2026-06-15T06:15:17.000Z

that's the problem. Young people aren't getting a seat at the table.

Rowan Blake2026-06-15T07:01:17.000Z

not, the article is silent on actual outcomes. Just a photo op as usual.

NZ Herald2026-06-15T06:12:17.000Z

Biman Prasad smiling in that photo like he hasn't helped run the economy into the ground. Absolute joke.
