Australia's Foreign Minister Stephen Smith says Fiji's interim government should allow the Commonwealth Special Envoy, Sir Paul Reeves, to do what he means to do - to chair the Presidential forum on political reform. The interim government has confirmed Sir Paul will be relegated to the role of facilitator, saying he was never going to chair the forum.
