Finished?

In the Fiji Islands a coup involving issues of color, class, and customs occurred when Lieutenant-Colonel Sitivana Rabuka seized power in the first bloodless coup of 1987. After many coups and changes a constitutional revision finally introduced non-discriminatory Provisions in 1997 and a return to The Commonwealth of Nations.

Meanwhile, back in Australia, early elections were looming and opposition Liberal leader John Howard was waiting to announce their proposed tax policy.
