ARC Newsflash: Pirate radio ship to anchor off Fiji?

WELLINGTON [NZ] - In the past few days, Usaia Waqatairewa of the Australian based Fiji Democracy & Freedom Movement has floated the idea of broadcasting uncensored news and music programs to Fijian
radio listeners from a 'pirate radio' ship anchored in international waters near Fiji.

Waqatairewa claims his organization has been in contact with News Limited which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, the global media billionaire and which also owns the Fiji Times newspaper which is now for sale to
comply with a recent media ownership decree. (Radio Heritage Foundation http://www.radioheritage.net/).
