Australian Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles says Fiji has been conducting free and fair elections and they are really confident that is what they are about to see.
In a media session today, Marles says they look with interest and optimism whenever the Fijian elections happen.
He adds they are pleased to be offered to co-lead the Multi National Observer Group again.
Marles further says governments run elections and political parties participate in it and that happens everywhere in the world.
