Fiji's military backed interim government has attacked critics, who've described its latest decree, as a further restriction on freedom of speech. Last week the interim government promulgated a decree revoking broadcast licences. Right now TV and radio stations are still on air on temporary licences, but there's no certainty they'll be awarded one in the future.

Presenter: Campbell Cooney
Speaker: John Westland, Radio Australia's Manager of Rebroadcasts. Aiyaz Sayed-Khiayum, Fiji Interim Attorney General. Nick Naidu, Coalition for Democracy in Fiji.
