The Pacific Concerns Resource Centre in Fiji says Australia needs to change its attitude in the region and stop its attempts at re-colonisation.
The director of the PCRC, Hilda Lini, says the centre is opposed to Australian proposals, which were presented at the Pacific Islands Forum, for a common currency, labour market and regional police training.
Ms Lini says Australia needs to consult with countries in the region before it attempts to impose its ideas.
"It's a recolonisation process. we are always expected to just sit here and be imposed by any concepts or thoughts or plans. we don't have a say in it. Somebody else always comes and says this is how we should do it. This is what Australia has been doing."
