FIJI INTERIM REGIME EXTENDS EMERGENCY RULE
http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=52675

SUVA (Radio NZ International/Pacific Media Watch): The Fiji interim regime has extended the Public Emergency Regulation until the end of April.

The one-month extension was signed by the President, Ratu Epeli Nailatikau.

The interim regime imposed the emergency rules last April 10 when the constitution was abrogated after a court found that the Bainimarama interim government was illegal.

Under the regulations, police, military and public servants have the powers to stop events they deem to be a threat to the country’s security.

The interim regime has said once a new Media Decree has been released, the emergency regulations can be lifted.

More charges laid as Tonga prepares for ferry finding

Updated March 29, 2010 17:55:39

http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/pacbeat/stories/201003/s2859412.htm

Manslaughter charges have been laid against some of the key players in the MV Princess Ashika tragedy in Tonga.

Last August, the inter-island ferry Princess Ashika sank, less than six weeks after it had arrived in Tonga. A Royal Commission of Inquiry into the sinking has found the ship was unsafe and unseaworthy when purchased, and so far some charges have been laid against its operator and captain.

The Royal Commission is preparing to hand down its final report and recommendations, which are expected to be made public on Wednesday.

Pacific Correspondent Campbell Cooney asked the Managing Director of Matangi Tonga online news, Pesi Fonua, just who has been charged.

Presenter: Campbell Cooney, Pacific correspondent
Speaker: Pesi Fonua, Managing Director of Matangi Tonga online news

Culture and diversity at forefront of AUT media excellence awards

http://pacific.scoop.co.nz/2010/03/culture-and-diversity-at-forefront-of-aut-media-excellence-awards/

Pacific Scoop:
Report – By Tupouseini Taumoepeau.

With a "real passion to share the rich history" of his Pacific culture, John Pulu has been awarded the Spasifik Prize and Storyboard Award for diversity journalism.

At the annual School of Communication awards evening at AUT University, Pulu was presented with the prize by the deputy editor for Spasifik magazine, Qiane Corfield-Matata.

"It's the best feeling to know that your hard work has been acknowledged and recognised by people from the industry," says Pulu.

Pulu says that coming from South Auckland, which has always been portrayed with bad criticisms, he wanted to change that and adopt through his work a celebration of the "beautiful cultures" such as Tonga.

Graduating with a Bachelor of Communication Studies majoring in television, Pulu produced documentaries titled The Modern Afo of Tonga and Kava Commune while working with TNews during his studies.

Corfield-Matata, who was also the first recipient to receive the award donated by Pacific Media Centre director Dr David Robie in 2006, says: "I know how hard it is to be a journalism student from the Pacific and all the effort that goes into it".

"In the industry, we need those who are passionate and energised about telling Pacific stories and to add some balance into the mainstream media," says Corfield-Matata.

Pulu is now working for TVNZ which he says "is a dream come true" as his aspirations to work with Tagata Pasifika started when he was first introduced to the "magic of television" at a gateway programme during his years at Otahuhu College.

[pima.nius] Nominations open for Bougainville elections

Nominations open for Bougainville elections

http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/pacbeat/stories/201003/s2857462.htm

Updated March 26, 2010 17:03:20

Nominations have opened in what could be the last elections on the Papua New Guinea island of Bougainville before a referendum on independence. Writs have been issued for the Autonomous Bougainville Government's second elections since a peace agreement ended a decade-long civil war in 2001. The agreement allowed for a referendum on independence from PNG to be held sometime in the next five years.

Presenter: Liam Fox
Speaker: James Tanis, President, Bougainville

Listen:
Windows Media

TANIS: This election is going to be a very interesting election, because the way the vote goes will give an early indication of how the referendum might shape up because it is going to be the next president and the next house that may have the opportunity to make the decision of the date of the referendum.

FOX: And what will your position be on the referendum and your pledge to the people to say which way you will be going?

TANIS: I am a known former member of the Bougainville Revolutionary Army, which definitely is my position, has been always that Bougainville must be independent. But I also have a fall back, that whatever happens, it must be decided through a fair process, a fair referendum and the process must be credible and that at the end of the day, whichever way the vote goes, there should be no questions asked and that is the reason why we have always engaged the national government, we have always engaged the international community, that at the end of the day that the vote that is taken that is a vote that we arrive through a credible process.

FOX: And you mentioned that one of the big issues will be the economic recovery of Bougainville. Will the future of Panguna mine feature prominentally in talks about the future economic recovery of Bougainville?

TANIS: I think it is going to be one of the questions that we are going to be asked by the people. In my view, that has been one of the major weaknesses on the whole peace process so far: that the peace agreement never put in place any clause or even during the negotiation, I was the vice-president of the congress under Joseph Kabui, there was never any opportunity that the process or the leaders or the factions gave to the Paguna landowners who had that opportunity to present their grievances to the national government, present their grievances to the CRA/BCL (CRA/Bougainville Copper Limited) and fairly and surely resolve the Panguna issue.
Because my observation has been that when the leaders of Panguna continue to avoid . . . sorry not leaders of Panguna, leaders of Bougainville continue to avoid Panguna and think it is just another bad dream that we will just wake up one morning and it will be gone, that is where the mistake has been and that is one of the reasons why Panguna continues to be in a no-go zone and while it is in the no-go zone different factions use that as an excuse to continue to remain in factions Panguna and continue to bring instability and insecurity for Bougainville. So that was the main reason when I became the president, I decided to build Panguna head on and if the mine is going to be shut, okay, then let's agree to that. Everybody agrees, the provincial government, the people of Bougainville, CRA, everybody at least we shut it and we shut it and we don't hold anyone at ransom anymore. And if you want to open it, let's put it out in the open and let's open it and let's actually do it and open it. What is important in terms of peace building is no shadow area, not grey area to be left over Bougainville. Progress has been good. The Panguna landowners signed the resolution agreeing to a reconciliation and we have held that reconciliation already.

FOX: Do you have a position on whether it should open again or not or your position is that it should be left to the landowners to decide what the future of Panguna is?

TANIS: Personally, I would want to see it opened, but in a new arrangement. But whatever happensto it, people must be consulted, the landowners must agree, all other people in Bougainville must agree. So it is a situation where the landowners themselves cannot decide and the government itself or the ABG (Autonomous Bougainville Government) or myself, I myself cannot decide. The worst thing that we will ever do on Bougainville is to force issues down the people's throat.

Samoan NGOs concerned about freedom of religion

Updated March 26, 2010 17:03:20

Non-government organisations in Samoa are upset about the composition of a government Commission of Inquiry into freedom of religion. The Samoa Umbrella Group for NGOs (SUNGO) says only mainstream churches are represented, but there are no women or young people. The Samoa Council of Churches says there are already enough churches in Samoa, and it wants the commission of inquiry to ban new ones from coming into the country.
