A weekly current affairs programme presented by Neil Billington. This week Frontline looks at political events in New Caledonia and Fiji, and the asthma drug Fenoterol.

“Tonight we report on New Caledonia, where the killing last week of Kanak leader Jean-Marie Tjibaou and his deputy, now threatens the country’s stability and its path to independence. We also talk to the man who presented hope for many people in Fiji, till two years ago this week when he was deposed in a military coup.”

Interviewees: Djubelli Wea, November 1988; Jean-Marie Tjibaou, November 1988.

In the studio Neil Billington talks to Dr Timoci Bavadra.

The asthma drug Fenoterol has been found to increase the number of deaths from asthma, and a change in prescription habits is recommended.

Interviewee: Karen Poutasi, Chief Health Officer. In the studio, Neil Billington speaks to Dr Doug Wilson, Boehringer Ingelheim (NZ).

Dame Sister Mary Leo died on Friday, aged 94. For 67 of those years she lived with the Sisters of Mercy in Auckland, where she brought her unique gift as a teacher to those who have become our great opera singers: Heather Begg, Malvina Major and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa.
