SOLOMON ISLANDS: Australian fugitive becomes Attorney General
Updated
Controversial Australian lawyer, Julian Moti has been sworn in as Solomon Islands' Attorney General. Mr Moti is wanted in Australia for child sex offences. Last October, he absconded while on bail and took refuge in the Solomon Islands diplomatic office in Port Moresby before fleeing to Solomon Islands on a PNG Defence Force plane. Australia's Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, says Julian Moti's appointment is "extremely insensitive" and "offensive" to Solomon Islanders and Australians.
