Uncivilized Mob Mentality Confirmed
Fiji's interim Prime Minister, Commodore Frank Bainimarama, says he has no regrets with a decision to send New Zealand and Australia's top diplomats back home.
In an interview with Auckland based Radio Tarana, Commodore Bainimarama said Fiji can not afford to be bullied by the two superpowers of the Pacific.
"We are suspended from the Commonwealth, Australia and New Zealand suspended us from the Forum, so really, it does not make any difference that if we don't stand our ground we can't afford to be bullied like we did today."
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the ousted governing party in Fiji said Commodore Bainimarama's decision to send home New Zealand and Australia's top diplomats in Suva is immature and naive.
The leader of the Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua (SDL) party who was deposed as Prime Minister in the 2006 coup, Laisenia Qarase, said he was unable to comment because of the public emergency regulations.
But Peceli Kinivuwai, the party's general secretary, has dismissed Commodore Bainimarama's claims New Zealand and Australia are trying to undermine Fiji's judiciary by imposing travel restrictions on judges.
"I think he is the last person to say that. He is the one who has actually controlled the judiciary of this country by his actual abrogation of the constitution, his actual removal of the democratically-elected government and his removal of parliament. He is the one who is authorising the appointments of the judiciary."
Mr Kinivuwai said it is the people of Fiji who will suffer from Commodore Bainimaramas decision.
