The interim Attorney General has alleged that Australian and New Zealand authorities are tapping their phone lines and using locals employed at the high commissions to spy on the interim government.
Speaking at a press conference last night, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum revealed that interim Prime Minister Commodore Frank Bainimarama questioned the Australian Foreign Minister Steven Smith on information that they are tapping into phone lines in Fiji which was neither confirmed nor denied.
Sayed-Khaiyum also lashed out at locals employed at the High Commissions in Fiji alleging that they are acting as spies against their own country.
Meanwhile, when questioned on whether the interim government will follow through its threat to expel Acting New Zealand High Commissioner Caroline McDonald, Sayed-Khaiyum could not give a definite answer.
He also revealed that there will also be a group appointed by the interim Prime Minister to look into Fiji's international relations particularly with New Zealand and Australia.
The Australian and New Zealand governments are yet to respond to these claims.
