- Atu_Emberson_Bain abstract "Atu Emberson Bain is a Fijian political leader. A leading figure the Fiji Labour Party (FLP), she served from 1999 to 2006 as one of 8 Senators nominated by the Leader of the Opposition.Bain is known for her outspoken opinions. She has called for the voting age (currently 21) to be lowered, for the national flag which currently bears the British Union Jack to be changed, and for the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II to be removed from the national currency. She is on record as saying that after 18 years as a republic, Fiji should consider whether it is appropriate to retain the symbols of its colonial past.Bain has a tense relationship with fellow-Senator Ratu George Cakobau, one of 14 nominees of the Great Council of Chiefs. Parliamentary debates between the two have sometimes turned acrimonious, with Cakobau questioning her right to speak on matters pertaining to indigenous Fijians on the grounds that she is not indigenous. (Bain is registered as a General Elector, an omnibus category including Caucasians, Chinese, and other minority groups). He has attacked her for commenting on the Vola ni Kawa Bula (VKB, or native land register), saying that only registered members of the VKB have the right to make comments on it. In late 2005, a Senatorial committee investigated a complaint from Bain that Cakobau insulted her.First appointed to the Senate in 1999 by then-Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry, Bain was kidnapped along with many of her colleagues and held as a hostage by gunmen led by George Speight, during the Fiji coup of 2000.Bain was not reappointed to the Senate in 2006, and differences between her and the FLP leadership subsequently became public when she joined fellow-FLP politicians Krishna Datt, Felix Anthony, Agni Deo Singh, and Poseci Bune in criticizing Mahendra's leadership style.".
