(-o) Fiji Law Society's Dosami Naidu Recommends Modified Stance

Fiji Law Society Dorsami Naidu has modified his stance on the Interim Government. He now thinks the Society "needs to at least
partially engage with the interim Government, to ensure judicial standards are not compromised" because it has become increasingly
difficult to attract the right calibre of people to serve on the judiciary." He said "talented people don't want to be seen to be associated with this regime" and "the travel bans placed by the Australian and New Zealand Governments stop potential candidates from applying." [The bans, of course, affect all areas of government where they produce effects similar to those Naidu describes. From what he says, they appear to have produced effects opposite to those intended.] [Naidu earlier confirmed that he had paid the $20,000 outstanding from 2007-2008 he owed over his failed application in the Angie Heffernan case, as ordered by the court.] Fijilive
