STATEMENT TO THE SOUTH PACIFIC STOCK EXCHANGE 6th June, 2016 Communications Fiji Ltd Stations Dominate Radio Market AGAIN! Communications Fiji LTD (CFM) announced today results from the Tebbutt Media Survey 2016 which revealed that 86.5% ( 2014 85.1%) of radio listeners surveyed listened to one of their five radio stations, FM96, Viti FM, Navtarang, Sargam and Legend FM over a seven day period. “Once again our stations have delivered a massive number; confirming the huge result of the previous year,” said William Parkinson, Managing Director. Surveys were conducted in March and April 2016 covering the Greater Suva area, Nadi and Lautoka and focused on respondents aged 14 years and older. It needs to be kept in mind that surveys were limited to urban areas of Viti Levu and this year, because of the cyclone, didn’t include Ba. This means that vernacular stations Viti FM, Sargam, and Navtarang, that have strong rural audiences, are probably under reported. “We design the programming formats of each of our radio stations to service different sections of the community and once again ALL our stations performed strongly in their respective markets contributing to a great result,” said Ian Jackson, CFM’s General Manager Fiji. The media survey provides measurement of radio listenership yesterday and listenership over the last seven days. Results for Communications Fiji Limited stations are as follows: Listenership 2014 2016 Age 14 + FM96 43.9% 49.4% Legend FM 18.6% 20.1 % Viti FM 37.7 % 36.5 % Navtarang 31.7 % 31.8 % Sargam 21.9 % 21.9 % Combined CFM 85.1 % 86.5 % For more information, please contact Ian Jackson on (679) 331 4766. _____________________ __________________________ WILLIAM PARKINSON JYOTI SOLANKI MANAGING DIRECTOR GROUP FINANCIAL CONTROLLER/ COMPANY SECRETARY .

Consumer-Council-Of-Fiji-2017-–-2018-Annual-Report.Pdf
Annual Report 2017-2018 Parliamentary Paper Number 97 of 2019 WHO Labasa WE ARE Lautoka Suva ABOUT THE COUNCIL Our Vision: To build a society of informed and responsible consumers in which everyone is treated fairly, obtains value for money and is able to exercise their consumer rights. Our Mission: Make consumer voice heard and make it count. The Consumer Council of Fiji (CCoF) is a statutory body established under the Consumer Council Act 1976. The Council protects the rights and interests of consumers by promoting a fair and just delivery of goods and services. First and foremost, the Council is an advocacy organisation, conducting rigorous research and policy analysis on key consumer issues. CCF’s insight into consumer needs is a powerful tool for influencing decision-makers to bring about change. The Council protects the vulnerable groups such as rural poor, physically and mentally challenged, children and women by identifying and articulating the policy issues that are of importance to the consumers. It will do more than simply draw attention to problems faced by consumers - it will champion creative solutions to improve their lives. The Council would like to see consumers placed at the heart of new policies introduced by the Government. International Affiliations The Consumer Council of Fiji is a full member of the UK-based Consumers International (CI), a federation of consumer organisations representing over 240 organisations in 120 countries. The Council was elected in 2015 to serve the CI Council. The Council is also a member of the Committee on Consumer Policy of the International Organisation (COPOLCO) for Standardisation (ISO).

PROFILES in MEDIA: Samantha Magick Talent on FM96 Airwaves
PROFILES IN MEDIA: Samantha Magick Talent on FM96 airwaves One of Fiji radio's most skilled and experienced journalists talks about her career on TV, print and on air—before she takes on a new media challenge with Greenpeace Pacific. By ROSI TAMANI ON A Fiji Women's Crisis Centre television commercial, the slogan says, GIRLS CAN DO ANYTHING, and that's exactly what the news and sports director for Communications Fiji Ltd (CFL) is doing. Samantha Magick is one of the few women who hold a high level position in one of Fiji's major media organisations. With only nine years of experience in the journalism field, Magick finds the work both challenging and demanding. She is responsible for the administration, production and on air performance of news and sports on the three radio stations, FM 96, Navtarang and Viti FM. My first contact with Magick was over the telephone when I asked her whether she was available for an interview — on camera. The following day, Susan Kiran and I found ourselves sitting in the boardroom with our questions and camera — ready for action. Magick is down-to-earth and good-natured. In the course of our hour-long interview, she portrayed herself as a confident and knowledgeable young woman. Magick completed her high school certificate at Brigidine College, New South Wales, and later graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communi cations from Charles Sturt University in Bathurst, Australia. Six months after leaving Bathurst in 1988, she started work as a cadet journalist for CFL. Making it to the top was no easy task for Samantha Magick.

The Social and Religious Scene in Fiji Since the Coups
Uncertain Sequel: The Social and Religious Scene in Fiji since the Coups John Garrett Fiji's political stability since the coups of 1987 has depended partly on the interplay near the political summit between two high chiefs and a com moner. Ratu Sir Penaia Ganilau, the president of the interim government of the republic, was in April 1989 invested as Tui Cakau, the highest title in the province of Cakaudrove, within the Tovata, one ofFiji's three tradi tional confederacies. Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, the interim prime minister, is the bearer of the high titles Tui Nayau and Tui Lau in the same confed eracy. His authority extends over both southern and northern Lau-the eastern islands of the Fiji group (see Garrett 1988). Major-General Sitiveni Rabuka, the soldier-commoner, does not have the hereditary power of the other two members of the triumvirate. A professional warrior, he is largely a self-made man (Dean and Ritova 1988). He acquired his present power by dissolving a constituted Parliament at the head of troops schooled in abrupt intervention in the Fiji Battalion of the United Nations International Peacekeeping Force in south Lebanon. His troops have seen Israeli units in action. THE PARADOX OF RABUKA Ratu Ganilau and Ratu Mara conform to the pyramidal Polynesian struc tures and mores of ethnic Fijian society. Rabuka, through his upbringing, works within the same framework. He affirms the loyalty and customary duty he owes to high chiefs within a rank-order determined by birth. His activity in the two coups, and as minister for home affairs and commander The Contemporary Pacific, Volume 2, Number I, Spring 1990, 87-II1 © 1990 by University ofHawaii Press 88 THE CONTEMPORARY PACIFIC· SPRING I990 of the security forces since, presents a paradox.
