Acting Prime Minister MARK VAILE says the search for missing Special Air Service trooper
JOSHUA PORTER is continuing in waters off Fiji.

Kanimbla .. and slipped into the water.

The Kanimbla was in the area as part of preparations for a possible coup in Fiji.

Mr VAILE's told Sky News the search's continuing .. but he's warned against false hope.
