NZ KC v Fiji 'Kaisis'. The so-called legal luminaries have become a butt of joke around 'grog bowls' as NZ KC ($15,000) sides with FijiLEAKS legal opinion: JSC Giveth, JSC Can Taketh Away. Suspend Barbara MALIMALI

*$90,000 HEIST from FICAC Budget. Our FICAC sources allege that Malimali has unlawfully forced FICAC Manager to pay another $90,000 to her COI legal counsel Tanya Waqanika in legal fees. 
*Last year, Ficac's legal team reminded Malimali, FICAC charged Riyaz Khaiyum for similar conduct. FBC paid his legal fees for civil action of defamation of character. 
*Malimali turned a blind eye and forced Ficac to pay Waqanika $30,000. The COI has reported the matter to Fiji Police for further investigation.

Fijileaks: RESIGN, Attorney-General Graham Leung, for refusing to provide $15,000 to the COI to obtain the NZ KC's legal opinion. The Attorney-General's Office, the Solicitor-General's Office and the Chief Justice SALESI TEMO could have provided the same legal opinion free of charge. But they did not, for they were protecting BARBARA MALIMALI

Fijileaks: What our Editor-in-Chief wrote in the Fiji Sun (October 2008, below) regarding the Walter-Mitty interim Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum applies with equal force to his successor Graham Everett Leung in Februaury 2025.

*Justice Pathik, good-natured Holi celebration, and the question of apprehended bias and recusal in the High Court
By VICTOR LAL (Opinion Column, Fiji Sun, 2008)
"I want to dispute the interim Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum’s warning to the media that he would not tolerate any contempt of court and comments on the recent judgment and anybody bringing the judiciary or the administration of justice into contempt will be called to account for their actions. I presume he knows better as a student of law that the conduct of the judges and their judgments are open to scrutiny once a court has delivered a judgment. His constant threats to the media only reinforce “the all-too-common tendency to view the attorney-general and his department as no more than the law firm that is always on call to serve the interest of the political party that is in power at the time.” The A-G, despite his political role as a supporter and advisor to the government, is meant to wear an apolitical hat in his parens patriae role as guardian of the public interest. The judiciary and the media are also guardians of the public interest."
