Australian Resident Remanded for Assaulting Bus Driver

Tajini Vakaloloma, an Australian resident, has been remanded by Magistrate Jone Bale at the Nasinu Magistrates Court for assaulting a Cityline Buses driver.

Vakaloloma is charged with one count of assault and has waived his right to counsel. The Police Prosecutor stated that the case is a reconciliation offence, but the victim has not indicated interest in reconciliation.

The Prosecutor objected to bail, citing Vakaloloma's permanent residency in Australia, which makes him unlikely to attend court proceedings. The case is considered a public interest matter, as it involves a PSV driver.

Vakaloloma asked Magistrate Bale if he could be released the same day.

The Magistrate remanded Vakaloloma, citing the objections to bail.
