- A senior Fijian military officer allegedly responsible for human rights abuses and torture has been appointed as deputy commander of the Australian Army’s 7th Brigade, amid claims the Australian government has turned a blind eye in its bid to counter Chinese influence in the Pacific.
Colonel Penioni (Ben) Naliva, a one-time right-hand man to former Fiji coup leader and prime minister Frank Bainimarama, is alleged to have been involved in the violent beating of two Fijian politicians, with one victim claiming the soldier tried to force an M16 rifle barrel into his anus during an interrogation.

No he should not have that position in our country, way too dangerous
Yes absolutely
How is this person even able to emigrate to Australia with these alleged crimes? Where's the vetting??
Labour!!! That’s your vetting
Its an exchange of leadership between the two allied forces. We have a 2 Star British Army General who was the Deputy Commander of our Corp (120,000 soldiers) In Fort Cavaso, Texas. So exchange of Command do happen between allied forces.
He didn't emigrate...he's only there for a few years posting tenure.
There is plenty still hiding out in other Countries send by the old government leaders.
he was recruited by the ADF because he had BEN ROBERT SMITH vouch for him🇦🇺🇫🇯
One of Bainimarama's BULLDOG
I think any doubts about the moral values of someone should put him/her away from high positions, positions with power, and positions where they can know high information about the state. Proven or not Proven.
WOW!! Moral values?? According to who? By your moral values, many innocent people would be crushed and cast aside. I suggest you watch the upcoming mini series Mr Bates V The Post Office.
@@user-wp6dn2bm4h how many men on public record do you want all saying the same thing. He should be up on charge, but if not why TF would a man like this be put in such an important position. If he's got a problem why wouldn't he sue for slander. You just give the all clear. Krikey....that's a liability I wouldn't have on my watch.
Autralian gov't should relook at all this allegation and bring him to answer all this, and if found to be correct than he should be brought to face all this allegation.
I’ve lost respect for the ADF for this appointment.
Australia come on man
What the heck is the Australian military system doing?😮 this is disgusting
he had ben Roberts Smith as a referee that's how he got the job🇫🇯🇦🇺
How is fijian soldier allowed to command aussie troops ?

Naliva to be Court Marshalled Australia should investigate
Absolutely
Drugg connection?
How does this work? Regardless of the allegations, you have a foreign national being the Deputy Commander of an Australian Brigade. The foreign national's country has close ties with China. Where is our security??????
Seriously he needs to be arrested. What is Australia doing with him. Get rid of him.
Come the fuck on Australia!
No due diligence process done?
put him in jail
Just give him command of the troops with the pink and blue hair with a nose ring ,missing a Pro Noun
He should have been discharge or put into court for his commited in crime during them days.
"😮WHAT ARE A SUICIDAL MOVE."
Its dangerous to hear only one side of the story....this is not fair reporting. Its proven in many occassions hearing one side of the story is misleading and did not consist an accurate accounts of the events.
Isn't that the role of the soldiers that is to obey orders from their superiors?
I can imagine this Colonel as a sgt at arms for the Commonchero m.c i think once he immigrated to Australia that's what he'll do
no,he belongs to a more criminal enterprise now,a terrorist organisation that is complicit in war crimes ordered from the top dogg America. That's right,he is now a fully fledged member of the ADF.
WoW Australian Defence Force has stooped that low.....

Australian government must be very careful with the issue..
Having a torturer in-charge of a reputable force with young soldiers coming from well bahave backgrounds is not good for the long term...
This country is too soft,
Iluminate him
Y Australia wen he can help Fiji
That word 'allegedly' comes up an awful lot. The dictionary - allegedly ... adverb, used to convey that something is claimed to be the case or have taken place, although there is no proof.
Does that make this an opinion piece rather than news?
WT… yr NOT at all concerned about PAYING 4 FOREIGN MILITARY TO BE TRAINED + EDUCATED IN OUR COUNTRY, 2 OBVIOUSLY TAKE OVER THIS COUNTRY AS THE WEF, WHO, UN etc.. STATE ON THEIR WEBSITES ???????
The word allegedly is meant to appease everybody! It neither means guilty nor innocent, as only a Court of Law after much deliberation is tasked with that. And with that in mind, let's arrest Ben Naliva and have him face a Judge, and Jury in a Court of Law.
Bainimarama's right hand man..arrest him
Bainimaramas main boy
98% of news via presstitution is opinion.
Don't use the yardstick of your country to measure Fiji. We have had 4 coups. The May 2000 Coup was the worst because there was mayhem and no system of order. The Police couldn't control the community. It did not get better. Then the 2006 coup unfolded and we were under martial law. Everyone understood the implications of being under martial law. We called for a return to democracy but were not picked up by the military or hounded. They could hound those who called for a civil uprising. Some of us were unprepared to put our country back on that rollercoaster we experienced in 2000. That is the heart of this story. Sam Speights's story is unfortunate but what of the stories of the victims of his brother George. He was present in the 2000 coup and did nothing. Communities were disrupted. Businesses got looted. We got abused. In a farming community in the north where militant groups hounded the community of rice farmers, there was no rice planting. Farms got looted, women got raped, and there was so much chaos until the military arrived to stabilize the community. Today, it remains one of the key communities producing rice for Fiji. That is the untold story of their role in curbing militant groups who were calling for an uprising or for iTaukei supremacy. This reporter misunderstands Fiji. 3 systems of governance overlap from time to time. Democracy, traditional autocracy, and military autocracy. During the period of abuse, we all understood that martial law was in place so we went about our business peacefully. Because martial law is martial law. In 2014, we returned to democracy. Human rights was restored. So, can you provide fair reporting on this story?
He is alleged to have beaten unarmed people so he should pay for his crimes.
@@jonesukanaivalu9221 alleged and pay? Which justice system will pay without a trail?
@@bebo8284 if allegations are proven in a court of law due justice is warranted.
@@jonesukanaivalu9221 but you are trailing him in the court of public opinion without a fair trial and also out of context. The reporter filed a story of 3 victims, one alleges direct involvement, and two allege failure to stop their torture. But, the article fails in that it did not mention that Fiji was under martial law, that Sam Speight was in Parliament in 2000 but he never stopped his sibling from holding political hostages for 56 days, for creating a human shield in the Parliament of extremists who were looting, burning, and causing mayhem. The police had no control of the angry mob. In 2006, Sam Speight was as he said "active" in trying to cause a similar uprising. He should be put on trial too.
Trying to justify Nalivas deeds which we all know,he should account for his bad deeds,send him back to Fiji
What a joke ADF.
And they say they can't get enough recruits in the door, if they hear of this guy being in-charge they won't won't to join at all
Kua na lai vaka fancy i Australia! Nomu duka tiko yani qo i Vitia! Lesu mai mo mai lewai!
Got to do something about it rather than taint a very bad image of the AUSTRALIAN ARMY.
Seriously
Human rights violations must be proven and a person is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Congratulations Ben on your new post which you are there on merit after UNMIS.😅
Ausdie military love controversy first your SAS hero now a guy who tortured people? Where's your honour gone? You may as well as rock up to the local prison and pick your next CDF from there?
he went through the interview process,and was given a 5 star reference from Ben roberts smith,that's how he got the job🇦🇺🇫🇯
@@wolfgangvonuce9803 oh boy 💯🤷♂️
😮😮😮😮😮
Australian govt will soon find out what is Foook around and find out
I don't understand why he has been put in charge of our Army. What, are we that short of senior officers?
he had a glowing reference from Ben roberts Smith,that's how he got the job🇦🇺🇫🇯
Racists at it's Best 😢
Bainimarama's puppet 😂😂😂
Unsubstantiated reports.
Thanks for repeating what they said.
😮
👍👉
He will probably do the same to his Australian troops….looks like that’s what they’re asking for.
He is a very loyal person. He upholds his duty to his utmost ability. He may have done some wrong doings in the past but he was only following orders. Toso Pena!! Kalou ga e kila tu na dina
Na dina gona, nona moku tamata tiko na gauna ni veiliutaki nei Bai. Dua na siga ena qai saumi vua na nona vakarau.

Congratulations sir on your new posting. A man of your standing will be an excellent asset to the Australian Defence Forces.
This is so awesome to see the trust that Australia's military is placing on our Pacific neighbours.
As a former member and veteran of the Australian army I look forward to hearing all the positive reports of your service to this great nation.
