McCully disappointed Fiji turned away unionists

By: Sam Thompson | Latest Political News | Thursday December 15 2011 5:58

 

Foreign Minister Murray McCully has conveyed to Fiji's foreign minister New Zealand's disappointment at the regime refusing a union delegation entry to the country.

The group, including CTU president Helen Kelly, wanted to investigate allegations of human and labour rights breaches by the Bainimarama government.

It was turned away at Nadi airport.

Mr McCully says there's direct action the Government can take.

"What we're hoping for is that Fiji's going to listen to the fact that the international community want to see some movement in the right direction, this is not movement in the right direction."

He says they're looking for signs from Fiji that there will be free and fair elections.
