I haven't heard anything but will let the list know if I do. From past 
experience I don't expect a government announcement until late October, 
which as you know is not much notice (most likely they'd spring forward 
November 5 or 12 if they spring forward at all).

Fiji has not observed DST since 2021-01-17. The current TZDB guess is 
that it won't observe DST this summer either. I hope this guess is 
correct as it will mean less disruption for people.

If you're curious whether the decision has been made but is not 
publicized, you might try calling the office of Agni Deo Singh, Fiji's 
Minister of Employment, Productivity and Industrial Relations in the 
current coalition government (for contact info see 
<https://directory.digital.gov.fj/directory/organisation?orgId=7>). He 
was appointed in December and his views on DST may differ from his 
predecessor's.
