From mybestdatabase
The ABC will fight a Nauruan government decision to refuse its journalists access to the annual Pacific Islands Forum, which Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will attend later this year.
Nauru on vi sa di uc Monday announced no representative of the ABC reporting will be granted a visa "due to this organisation's blatant interference in Nauru's domestic politics prior to the 2016 election".
ABC News Director Gaven Morris said Nauru "should not be allowed to dictate who fills the positions in an Australian media pool".
"The ABC does not intend to vacate our position in the media pool covering the Pacific Islands Forum in Nauru," Mr Morris said.
