Aust criticises Cameron Deportation

From Oceania Correspondent

Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it would be a concern if Australian lawyer Doctor John Cameron who was deported from Fiji yesterday, had been targeted for political reasons.

Didnt take them long did it? This is exactly the point made on Loyal Fijian yesterday.

If James Cameron was working illegally , he SHOULD be deported. No doubt about that, and the same goes for the many other illegals who are in Fiji at the moment.

But at the moment, the Government and media of countries like Aust and NZ are searching for ways to knock the IG on its head.

Why make a stick for your own back? Why give your detractors (and they are many of them) a story that their sympathisers in the media will have a field day with?

The Australian Foreign official said the Australian government has repeatedly expressed its concern at the Fiji military's effort to compromise the impartially of the legal system and government institutions.

The deportation of a person illegally working in Fiji will now be made out into some sort of political agenda or witchunt when it could have been AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN handled as a purely administrative issue.

Timing, as they say, is everything.
