SUVA, Fiji (6 Aug 2000) -- Federal Opposition Leader Kim Beazley and ACTU president Sharon Burrow said Australia must continue to apply pressure on Fiji to return to democracy. Beazley said that tougher sanctions may be necessary to get the message across. "It has to be made clear to all the Fijian people that at this stage of global history, democracy is deeply valued and offences against democratic behavior and democratic practice are not to be rewarded in any shape or form," Beazley said. Burrow said the current Fiji government is racially constituted and should be replaced. She added that Australia should be prepared to toughen its sanctions if the situation does not improve. © CDNN - CYBER DIVER NEWS NETWORK |
