	Radio Australia - Pacific Beat - Stories - FIJI: Study finds more workers being pushed in poverty
		JONI: It's not an attempt to allocate blame or to demonise particular sections of our society, what it has sort to achieve is to determine whether the minimum rates or remuneration set by the councils and the processes for determining them adequately compensate workers.
		JONI: There's been little challenge to the inability to pay pleas from the employers in the history of the Wages Councils, and this is because there's been no objective assessment of their books of account, their protestations of confidentiality respected.
		PARETI: Ratu Joni agrees that the employers must earn a profit but he argues that workers must be paid wages that reflect their contributions to making that profit.

	Coup leader declares state of emergency in Fiji - Asia - Pacific - International Herald Tribune
		SUVA, Fiji: Fiji's powerful council of tribal chiefs renewed its defiance of the country's military regime Thursday, as the newly installed prime minister conceded the takeover was illegal but necessary to clean up corruption in the former government.
		Fiji's hugely influential Great Council of Chiefs, who appointed Madraiwiwi and President Ratu Josefa Iloilo, condemned the move and threw its support behind the two leaders despite Bainimarama's announcement Tuesday that he had assumed presidential powers.
		And, "Ratu Joni's removal from office is illegal, unconstitutional and most disrespectful," he added.

		SUVA, Fiji (AP) — Fiji's powerful council of tribal chiefs refused to recognize the country's military regime on Thursday, further isolating coup leader Frank Bainimarama, whose newly installed prime minister said the takeover was illegal but was worth risking prison for.
		Consolidating his grip on the South Pacific nation, Commodore Bainimarama used his self-appointed powers to remove Fiji's Vice President Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi from his office and official residence late Wednesday.
		The criticism leaves Bainimarama increasingly isolated, with no significant group in Fiji expressing even tacit public support for Tuesday's takeover, and amid warnings from the commander that unnamed people are plotting civil disobedience against him.
