Stop the insults within this house.

That was the message to the opposition by the Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama after a derogatory term was directed at a government minister by an opposition MP during the parliamentary debate this morning.

Bainimarama said this is totally unacceptable behaviour and is not good for Fiji.

We are currently trying to establish who made the derogatory remarks through the Parliamentary Secretariat Hansard reports.

When we approached the Leader of Opposition, Ro Teimumu Kepa on the derogatory comment made by an opposition MP, she said that she does not know why the government is raising this as a concern as some big words were also said by the government side this morning.

Meanwhile Opposition MP, Tupou Draunidalo said everyone is equal in parliament.

Stay with us as we will have more on this later today.
