FIJI: Deported newspaper head arrives in Australia
Updated
The deported publisher of the Fiji Sun Newspaper says he is in no doubt he was forced to leave Fiji, because of the newspaper's reporting of tax evasion allegations. The publisher and managing editor of the "Fiji Sun" newspaper, Russell Hunter, arrived in Sydney this afternoon, after he was declared a prohibited immigrant and escorted to a flight out of Fiji. In Fiji the move is being seen as an attempt by the interim Government to stop any debate or criticism of its activities, and the Pacific Islands News Association, which represent reporters and media organisations, says the actions of Fiji's leaders are those of a police state.
Presenter: Campbell Cooney
Speakers: Publisher of the "Fiji Sun" Russell Hunter
