Oh! For Fair and Informed Reporting on Fiji

I have no gripes about Gavin Ellis. His media reputation is well deserved. Nor do I have any gripes about Asia Pacific Report that published his report  "Don’t be fooled by Fiji PM’s apology over arrests – media freedom is dire". 

But I do take exception to the heading that implies Bainimarama's apology for the arrest of three NZ journalists investigating environmental damage on Malolo Island, and their subsequent release, was insincere. Surely, the Fiji Government's withdrawal of the Chinese company's licence soon afterwards is proof enough of the sincerity of his apology.
