On the same day, a TVNZ journalist was detained at Nadi International Airport and taken to a Fiji detention centre overnight before she was deported back to New Zealand on the morning of the 16th. The reporter was allowed to keep her cellphone but was refused drinking water. Prime Minister John Key says the treatment of the journalist was "unacceptable". Also, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade officials went to the detention centre to visit the journalist but were also denied entry, John Key stated that: "That is totally unacceptable and we will be taking that matter up with the Fijian authorities,".
