DEBATE ON THE PROS AND CONS OF FIJI SANCTIONS
www.radioaustralia.net.au/pacbeat/stories/201002/s2806249.htm

MELBOURNE (RA Pacific Beat/Pacific Media Watch): The diplomatic standoff between Fiji's coup-installed military government on one hand and western democracies Australia and New Zealand on the other shows no signs of abating.

Bruce Hill now hosts a debate between both sides of this debate.

He begins by asking Professor Crosbie Walsh what the Fiji interim government's response would be if Australia and New Zealand did what he is recommending [in his blog] and tried a policy of engagement and dialogue.

Presenter: Bruce Hill
Speaker: Nik Naidu, spokesperson for the Coalition for Democracy in Fiji, based in Auckland; Professor Crosbie Walsh, founding director of the postgraduate Centre for Development Studies at the University of the South Pacific in Suva, and author of the blog "Fiji the Way It Was, Is and Can Be".
