The Prime Minister said it is a sad day today that Niue Premier Toke Talagi has called for civil disobedience in Fiji while making his address as the outgoing chairman of the Pacific Islands Leaders Forum in Cairns.
Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama said Talagi's comments are inciteful and he wonders what the forum leaders are thinking after his official statement in Australia.
Commodore Bainimarama questions why Talagi never tried to come to Fiji when he was chair of the Pacific Islands Forum.
Bainimarama also said the Niue Premier should learn to understand what is happening in Fiji.
Meanwhile, NZ Prime Minister John Key said Toke Talagi's comments are unhelpful.
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd emphasized in Cairns that any solution must be a peaceful one.
