| Tracy Maw: Returned to Fiji to reconcile with lover. |
The discovery of the decomposed body of Australian woman, Tracy Ann O'Brien Maw, has been publicised widely in Australia, since she was found on Monday.
Both the details of her death and her relationship with a married Sigatoka local, plus the police investigation, have painted a picture of Fiji that is feral.
Media reports reveal she'd been in a relationship for four and a half years and had told a Facebook group she'd lost $42,000 plus her house as a result of it. She said she'd been sending him money regularly but he was probably spending it on his wife and family.

| Relationship: She told friends she'd been ripped off. |
This is not the first time the death of a tourist has put the microscope on Fiji but the stories that have emerged about Ms Maw's relationship and the pictures plastered across the pages shows it as a country where you get ripped of, can't take your safety for granted or trust local authorities.
Police commissioner BJJ Groenewald insists a post-mortem could not determine the cause of death and Ms Maw had to be cremated 'because of the total decomposed situation of the body.'
Her family are less than satisfied: this is not a new complaint - the loved ones of other tourists who've had to turn to authorities have spoken of incompetency and lack of confidence in them.
A man was arrested yesterday and police say he is known to Ms Maw but are not in a position to release his name.
According to Tourism Fiji, visitor arrivals in September were up 4.5 percent from last year.
The Fiji Bureau of Statistics said there had been 64,000 visitors so far and the final number should surpass the 675,000 peak recorded in 2011.
Visitors from New Zealand and the US were up 15 per cent, while arrivals from China jumped 25 percent. Australian arrivals had dropped 0.4 percent.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 212 of 212The British enslaved the Indians in their homeland.
So when it came to Fiji they decided to bring the Slaves here.
When there were not enough Slaves they went and raided The Solomons and other Pacific Islands and brought them here.
The descendants of Indian Slaves are still here.
The descendants of Pacific island Slaves are still here (You'll find them in Kalekana and Wailoku).
THE BRITISH COULD HAVE EASILY FORCED THE FIJIANS TO BECOME SLAVES....but they didnt
THEY DECIDED TO GO IMPORT THE SLAVES.
IF YOU READ ABOUT HOW SOME INDIANS WERE ENTICED TO GET ON THE BOAT....YOULL UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN....
ITS THE SAME WAY THEY ENTICED THE SOLOMON ISLANDERS TO GET ON THE FARKING BOAT.....
I've often thought about this as to why Sir Arthur Gordon left the Fijians alone....The only explanation I can find is the Fijians had become Christians...AND GOD WAS MERCIFUL TOWARD THEM....SO FIJIANS NEVER REALLY BECAME ANYBODY'S SLAVE...
Unfortunately Fijians over time have stopped listening to God....AND THIS IS WHY THEY GOT CAUGHT BY BAINIMARAMA....

Mr Bilitaki has the right to a proper judicial review.
MR BILITAKI NEEDS JUSTICE.
AND MR BAINIMARAMA ALSO DESERVES TO FACE JUSTICE.
SODELPA,
DONT LISTEN TO tuisona...
NONA VAKAMACALA NA VAKAMACALA NI YALOWAI.
What the fark has Samoa's stance against the Coup have anything to do with their desire to trade with China.
THIS TUISONA FARKIN COUPCOUP OR WHAT?

Heyho Dumbass!!
Nothing better to do today except write imaginary trash?
Exciting to find a grieving Tinker casualty licking sore wounds that can't seem to heal!
I'm quite honoured actually. Lol
Meeeeeeooooooowwwwwwww
To all those Anonymous who are against the Govt: You guys said crime increases but during Qarase, corruption increases.
Mudou, dou vosa ca taki Frank kei Epeli, Na kaukauwa gona ni mataivalu me bula ka vinaka kina na nomudou sona...! Vakacava mo dou qai mada i na koro nei tamamudou me bau laki teivaki na qele. DOU YAVU SONA LEVU VAKATAKI DUI TAMAMUDOU...!!Sa macala...?
@ Kua Ni Rere...May Shiva, Hanuman and particularly Kali bless your life and make it fruitful and not fruitfly.
The lucky bastard took advantage of the poor woman for his own greed.
No surprise why Aussie-Fijian men are way better than those FOB's from here.
Frankie's thuggery continues to spread like a disease as evident here.
@Anon 12:26...At the time son,you were still in your old man's ball bags.Na vere vaka Bau sa vakarau,ka me gole ko Nailatikau ki vanua tani,ka mani solia toka vua na nona i vukevuke o Rabuka,me kua ni kilai kina ni a plan taki.That is why he is still a part of every coup in Fiji,and I have to tell you why he side with you Indian's.The chief's have no land,as the land were split amongst the people,and they have turn's to feed the Chief at Bau Island or every other chief over Fiji,so the rest of Tailevu have the land and Epeli have nothing.So that is why Bainimarama is changing the land law's so Epeli can have a land so as you...Boci.
Since when did Coup 4.5 HAVE any credibility? It's merely the propaganda arm of SODELPA and the forces of racism and religious bigotry who were destroyed politically and disempowered economically by Bainimarama in 2006. They still screech from the sidelines but are totally impotent and irrelevant. The Fijian people rejected them in a democratic vote and that's what really upsets them. When it came to a choice between them and the dictator, the people chose the dictator. And like a prince kissing a frog, the dictator was morphed into a democratic hero. Now that really hurts.
This is a dumb budget.
1. There is no money budgeted for Great Council of Chiefs high fly life. I mean freebies.
2. There is no money allocated for having 35 Ministers as it was in Qarase's government.
3. No money budgeted to only educate Chief's children.
4. No money allocated to SODELPA to spread fear, nationalism and racism.
5. No money budgeted to SODELPA to use corrupt practices.
6. No money allocated for QoliQoli bill.
7. No money allocated to take away land leases from the tenants as Qarase did which crippled the sugar industry.
Wailei.
@ Patricia Swan...
No need to use obscenities and swear words. They make your beautiful name and your spirit suddenly become repelling and ugly despite the truths and the good you may be advocating.
