Lapdog might be best to tell the full story rather than be dishonest in your narrative.
Fiji seem to be more insulted by the labor proposition, they are already moving communities to higher ground, Alexanders comments were made in good faith on the basis this is one of Fiji contingent strategies.Frank Bainimarama said former Labor prime minister Kevin Ruddwas insensitive and "neo-colonial" for wanting Australia to relocatePacific Islanders in exchange for control of seas and fisheries.
In a speech to the 6th Australasian Emissions Summit inMelbourne, Mr Bainimarama said Fiji was lucky to even have higher ground tomove people to.
"I will hit back the proverbial tennis ball, of course,with this: In Fiji, we have already moved three communities and have a priorityqueue of about some 40 others waiting to be relocated," he said today.
"The decision to relocate a Fijian community may seem likean easy one, but abandoning your home isn't some cold and calculated businessdecision.
"For those affected, it's a deeply emotional loss."
Mr Rudd's call for Australia to offer Pacific islanders homes inexchange for control over their seas was strongly rebuked.
"In a time where we must be future-facing,we can hardly tolerate such insensitive neo-colonial prescriptions," MrBainimarama said.
