	Constitution split Fiji, says Macuata chief Fijilive - Fiji news breaking fiji news elections 2006 fiji government news ...

		He said this was evident by the May 2000 coup when George Speight's short-lived Taukei Government tried to abolish it, the GCC's resolution following the coup to change it, and the Military Government's attempt to abrogate it within a very short period.
