FIJI REGIME TO BAN ESTABLISHED POLITICIANS FROM 2014
www.radioaustralia.net.au/asiapac/stories/201003/s2834720.htm
MELBOURNE (Radio Australia/Pacific Media Watch): Fiji's military backed regime has announced that any politician who has played a role in the country's politics since 1987 - the year of the first coup - will be banned from contesting the promised elections in 2014.
The announcement has been made by interim Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama, who told local media Fiji needs new politicians. But the decision has been criticised by existing political parties, and analysts, who believe the military wants to handpick a government, which will not question its actions.
Presenter: Campbell Cooney, Pacific Correspondent
Speakers: Ted Young, Former Fiji politician; Commodore Frank Bainimarama, Fiji's Interim Prime Minister; John Samy, Former technical head of Fiji's National Council for Building a Better Fiji; Professor Brij Lal, Political Historian, ANU
