The Attorney General said the Fijian Government has every right to refuse entry to Australian and NZ trade unionists who came on a Sydney flight yesterday afternoon.
Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum said this is Fiji’s sovereign right.
While Fiji Trades Union Congress President Daniel Urai said the government had no legal basis to ban the overseas unionists from entering the country, Sayed-Khaiyum said Urai knows that he is misleading people by saying that.
The head of the Australian Council of Trade Unions Ged Kearney now said she is more determined than ever to expose alleged abuses of workers’ rights in Fiji.
Sayed-Khaiyum stressed that the Australian and NZ union delegation had already made its mind up before arriving in Fiji, and is attempting to interfere in Fiji’s internal affairs.
