The Qoliqoli Bill 2006 is said to be a significant piece of legislation for Fiji, "particularly the Fijian community", according to the Fiji government website. The bill proposes transfer proprietary rights of qoliqoli areas (beach, lagoon and reef) from the State of Fiji to the qoliqoli owners, who are ethnic Fijians. Others such as hotel owners will be required to make payments to the ethnic Fijians holding the rights. In introducing the bill, the Minister for Fijian Affairs, Lands and Provincial Development, Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu, defended it on historical basis. Lalabalavu said the expectations by the Fijian chiefs over their traditional customary qoliqoli rights has been there for a period of about 125 years. During the Cessions in 1874, some Fijian chiefs asked Sir Hercules Robinson: "We would like His Excellency to make clear to us what our position would be (in the event of Cession taking place) with regards to our fishing andforest rights. We are confident that His Excellency will give us the kindest consideration."
