Fijileaks: Why mention Wailoaloa in Parliament but refuse to reveal details about his plot of land there?
Drunken brawls not linked to extended night-club hours
There’s no co-relation between nightclub hours and drunken disorderly behavior in the streets. That’s the confirmation from Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum in parliament saying night-clubs provide a controlled environment for people who would otherwise resort to unregulated supply of alcohol. “Black markets were flourishing. People, when clubs would close, would go and drink under the coconut tree near the sea wall – under some cassava patch – completely uncontrolled. Fights would break out and police had no ability to go and monitor each specific area.” Responding to questions from the Opposition, Sayed-Khaiyum says police and night-club operators have traced that recent incidents of people being drunk on the streets, brawls and other misdemeanors are linked to black markets. The minister adds that Wailoaloa Beach in Nadi was a notorious area. A few years ago, the government introduced special economic zones in Suva and Nadi where night-clubs could open from 5pm to 5am.

Fijileaks: Instead of pursuing Khaiyum over Wailoaloa plot of land in his political party declaration, SODELPA MPS are so obsessed with Indigenous Rights issues which caused them the general election - but then leopards don't change their spots! As Fijileaks pointed out, a vast majority of native Fijians didn't give a damn about the trampling of indigenous rights unless Sodelpa can prove election was rigged!
