The Fiji government said Australia is now adding to tensions between Fiji and Australia by granting a travel visa to fugitive, Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba Mara.
Mara has flown into Sydney and is expected to address a gathering in Canberra tomorrow.
He is also expected to meet with representatives of the Australian Federal Government.
Fiji's Foreign Affairs Minister, Ratu Inoke Kubuabola was formally advised yesterday that Canberra has issued a visa for Ratu Tevita Mara to travel to Australia.
Kubuabola expressed his disappointment that Australia had so quickly issued a visa to Mara on Tongan travel documents, rather than awaiting a response from Tonga to Fiji's extradition request.
