The Australian High Commission has received a second death threat which has resulted in the High Commission reviewing current security arrangements.

It has also been revealed in a High Commission statement that they will be restricting access to the Australian High Commission in Suva forthwith.

It has been confirmed that the threat came in a letter through the mail earlier today.

The High Commission immediately contacted the Police, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Civil Aviation.

During the course of the day, the Australian High Commission will be seeking urgent high level discussions with the Fiji authorities on the two threats received in the past week.

Permanent Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Ross Ligairi has confirmed that he was advised about the threat by the Australian High Commissioner to Fiji, James Batley at about 11:15 this morning.

Ligairi said the relevant agencies have been informed and necessary action is being taken. Ligairi said more information will be revealed later this afternoon.
