If we dont put our foot down, they will release every man and his dog. — Frank Bainimarama

"All the nation has been saddened by the extent to which the country has fallen during the last week. I have therefore, with much reluctance, assumed executive authority."

"You have to give it (the tiger) room. If you dont give it room, it will bite you."

"If we dont act, this country is going to go to the dogs and no investor will want to come here."

"When we wrong God, he does not let us go, he makes us pay for our wrongs but through the death of his own son Jesus Christ. When Gods people (Jews) wronged him, he weakened them in battle and caused them to be captives in Babylon for 70 years."

"Lets do right in the eyes of God!"

"We will maintain our stand despite criticisms." (on being told by Downer that the international community would not be happy about the Militarys intervention in the political arena)."
