Stop bullying and mind your own business if you cannot contribute to a better Fiji.
Those are the words of Fiji's Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama who is questioning the basis on which the governments of Australia, NZ and Britain are condemning the expulsion of Australia's Acting High Commissioner to Fiji, Sarah Roberts.
Commodore Bainimarama said these governments are saying that the actions are unjustified but he said it would never be justified if a Fiji High Commissioner did the same thing as Roberts to sabotage an important meeting for any of these countries.
The Prime Minister stressed that no other country will tell Fiji how to handle its internal affairs.
Commodore Bainimarama also said this issue affects all Fijians living in the country, and it should not be only him standing his ground to bring about a truly democratic Fiji.
