Fijileaks to Middle Finger: We want to put you on notice that following repeated threats on VICTOR LAL's life, we called in the Police who have traced you to Burwood in Melbourne, Australia. Now, we are in a position to publish one of your many comments which we had held back to allow police investigations: "Victor and Russel hunter should suck the Iranians cock. Assholes, leave Fiji decision making on government. Your opinions are as unworthy as your mummy's rotten pussy. Stop meddling in fijis affairs. Otherwise, I will send a Taliban to root your daughters big ugly ass...Victor, I think you are facinated by chaudhary as he fucked your ammi badly resulting in a harami son of a bitch like you. Your ammi is a disgrace to have opened her leg and asx for some Chaudhary banging. If your daughter want some Chaudhary banging, tell me and I will arrange for Rajen to give her a good burkhafuck "

Meanwhile, re Labasa  story: Surprisingly, the two ratepayers spokesmen who spoke to the media, Ambika Raj and Kamlesh Prasad, where once advisers to this administrator Vijay Chand, representing Delailabasa and Noundamu Housing ward and now they singing a different tune

Media ban raises ire

LABASA Town Council special administrator Vijay Chand has refused to comment on why members of the media were banned from covering two council meetings.

The two meetings on Monday this week and last Saturday were organised by the council to discuss increased town rates, which has not gone down well with ratepayers.

Labasa ratepayers signed a petition last week against the increase because they believed no proper consultation was done.

The petition was submitted to the office of the FijiFirst party. Mr Chand advised this newspaper on Saturday that the meeting was closed to the media. When approached yesterday to comment on the issue, Mr Chand refused to give a comment.

"I will not comment on anything, you have to send in your list of questions and wait for our ministry to respond," he said.

His decision has not gone down well with ratepayers who wanted media coverage and were not aware of what unfolded with the media.

Speaking on behalf of the ratepayers, Ambika Raj questioned why Mr Chand banned the media.

"What are his grounds for not allowing the media to cover our meeting when we wanted media coverage?

"The media is the most important group of people who we needed during the meeting as we wanted our voices heard. What is there to hide?"

Mr Raj said while business development in town had increased and boosted income for the council, clean-up work had not been up to par.

"Upon controlled operation the council can improve services without demanding for this massive increase."
Naodamu ratepayers rep Kamlesh Prakash also questioned the increase because the council failed to organise a proper consultation.

"They advertised with another newspaper but we don't read that newspaper. It is only fair that the council use all media organisations so all ratepayers can be informed," he said.

"We have questioned many pending and incomplete projects in Labasa Town but they never respond to us and the increase is too much."

Questions sent to the Ministry of Local Government early this month has remained unanswered.

That idiot from Labasa Sanjeet Prasad who said the decision to arbitrarily and without due process of law deport the persecuted Iranian refugee Sawari was the right decision, what does he have to say about this exorbitant rate increase imposed by the Labasa Town Council?
This is where his local community and even Fiji society needs his in-put for the benefit of the people. Not his tatti talk about the harmless, traumatised refugee who sought protection in Fiji.

Why should the United Nations or one of its agencies determine who should or should not enter the sovereign borders of a nation? That's the sole right of a sovereign nation. Stuff UNHCR

Fijileaks, can you give us the identity of the sick, low-life scoundrel from Burwood, Melbourne who made that foul mouthed comment you publish above.
I could arrange for a decent bar of soap to be delivered to him to give his foul mouth a good wash.
