Warning to kiwi journalists in Nauru

From The Panel, 4:08 pm on 5 September 2018

The Pacific Islands forum continues in Nauru but attention is firmly on the actions of its Government more than the summit.

It has taken to twitter to warn New Zealand journalists they're "not above the law" after yesterday TVNZ's Barbara Dreaver lost her accreditation for attempting to interview a refugee.

Nauru has been trying to deflect focus on its conditions and the Australian-run detention camps. The panelists discuss what Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern should do about the situation.
