The Fiji Media Council has shown its disappointment on the deportation of Fiji Sun Newspaper Publisher to Australia this morning.

Media Council Chairman Darly Tarte says if Publisher Russell Hunter was deported because of his working permit, then immigration officials have ways to deal with the issue.

Tarte says officials should have approached and dealt with Hunter’s issues during working hours and not at his private residence last night where immigration officials picked him up from.

“Next I hear that he is on the next plane out of Fiji, now I understand also that his working permit has got another 18 months to run.

“To take in Mr. Hunter last night and then treated him as a criminal seems to be is a wrong way to deal with him. I am disappointed that this has happened.

“I don’t know the full story, maybe there is another story but I will say that this is not a way to treat a citizen of Fiji or anyone who comes here to work on a permit, there is a way to deal with this kind of issues,” he said.
