1Insight visits Fiji a year after the interim administration scrapped the constitution, sacked the judiciary and introduced its new legal order. The interim Prime Minister, Commodore Frank Bainimarama, says he needs to deal with corruption, change the coup-culture and put Fiji back on track economically before tackling electoral reform. Despite pressure from overseas, a return to democracy is still not set to occur before 2014. Are there any signs of change for the better in Fiji?
