Fight to protect Fiji reef from Chinese developer | 60 Minutes Australia

But then, to their horror and disgust, right next door bulldozers rolled in and started clearing everything in sight.

But as Liam Bartlett reports, far from being wiped out, the Aussie surfers refused to let the dirty rotten scoundrels get away with it.
