A prospective first-time election candidate in Nauru says despite fundraising, he doubts he will raise the necessary fee to run for election. The government had hiked the candidate fee from US$143 to $1,436, and Joseph Harris said with the current cost of living and extremely low pay, that ruled out most people. Mr Harris joined 18 people in an application to the Supreme Court asking for an injunction on the move, arguing it went against the constitution.
