Moti advised G-G on recall

The Australian

AUSTRALIAN fugitive Julian Moti helped scuttle a vote on a no-confidence motion against Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare, and in doing so defeated efforts to have him extradited to face child-sex charges.

The accused pedophile, appointed Solomons Attorney-General this year by Mr Sogavare, a longtime friend, was among three legal advisers who convinced Governor-General Nathaniel Waena to reject a petition to recall parliament for the vote after the weekend defection of nine government ministers.

The defections had appeared to give the Opposition the numbers to oust the controversial Prime Minister.

Opposition Leader Fred Fono last night told The Australian he was planning to mount a legal challenge to Sir Nathaniel's decision, which he said was based on "biased advice" from Mr Moti.

Mr Fono, as well as the defecting ministers, have vowed that if they took power, the new Solomons government would immediately grant Australia's request to extradite Mr Moti for trial in Queensland on child sex tourism charges that date back almost a decade.

"Moti is the right-hand man of the PM, the person we will extradite to Australia and he is giving advice to the Governor-General," Mr Fono said.
Law enforcement sources said it was believed Mr Moti - who had his Australian passport confiscated last year - was already making plans to escape the Solomons if Mr Sogavare were ousted from power.

Mr Moti last night said he was "too busy" to comment on his plans or advice to Sir Nathaniel, who confirmed he had sought the legal advice of the international fugitive.

Mr Fono claimed that several MPs, aligned with the Opposition, had been physically threatened to switch their support by government backbench MP and former militia leader Charles Dausabea, who was last year charged with inciting the April 2006 riots in Honiara. The charges were later dropped.

Mr Fono said Mr Moti - who was bailed from custody in Port Moresby last year and escaped to the Solomons - had been seen yesterday "lobbying opposition MPs" with Mr Dausabea. "Moti was in the car with Dausabea," he said.

A spokeswoman for Mr Sogavare yesterday claimed the Prime Minister would soon have majority support in the 48-member parliament, with six of the defectors - who also included three backbenchers - now back with the Government.

Mr Sogavare's office issued a statement yesterday saying three of the defecting ministers had returned to the Government. But the three ministers failed to show up to a swearing-in ceremony late yesterday.
Mr Fono said the Opposition had a majority of 26.
