Nine to noon. 2008-03-07, [Kathryn Ryan interviews Michael Field about Fiji]

Pacific correspondent for Fairfax, Michael Field, describes the situation in Fiji. This report was subsequently complained about to the Broadcasting Standards Authority.
In the interview, Mr Field, stated that the situation in Fiji was "progressively getting worse" and that Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama was showing "all the signs of true military dictatorship". He also said that there was no true media freedom in Fiji, and that journalists and any judges who showed independence had to worry about their future. Christopher Pryde, the Solicitor–General of the Republic of the Fiji Islands, made a formal complaint about the programme to Radio New Zealand, the broadcaster. He asserted that Mr Field’s "update" was "no more than an uneducated, ill–informed, deeply biased, unbalanced, and false account of recent events in Fiji".
The Authority upheld parts of the accuracy complaint but did not uphold the complaints of lack of balance.
