Fiji police are on alert following a death threat against Australian High Commissioner James Batley in Suva reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

Security has been increased around the Australian High Commission in Suva, along with other foreign embassies and missions in the capital.

Police say a threatening letter was handed to high commission security staff last night.

Measnwhile the Australian High Commission has released a statement saying the threat appears to be politically-motivated.

The High Commission says those behind the threat appear to be people who object to the Australian Government's current policy on Fiji.
