The Fiji government says it will formally complain about the New Zealand Herald reporting earlier this year that the country's interim prime minister, Commodore Frank Bainimarama, was dead.

Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says the complaint will be sent to the New Zealand Media Council.

Bruce Hill asked him why the story about Commodore's alleged death has sparked such a strong response.
