The New Zealand Government this morning issued a stern warning to Commodore Frank Bainimarama to stop betting with the New Zealand High Commissioner to Fiji.
"The High Commissioner to Fiji, Michael Green is a known bad loser and we want to avoid a diplomatic row with Fiji therefore we urge the Commander of RFMF to stop playing betting game with him", a statement from the New Zealand Government read. This was after Mr. Michael Green refused to pay Commodore $10.00 for losing a bet in which the Commodore said that he would threaten the government about taking over and Michael Green said that he could not.
According to sources close to Michael Green, the betting between these two compatriots started during the recent Melbourne Cup race. The Commodore had lost then and as part of the deal had bought Michael drinks for the whole night at the Traps Bar in Suva. "Now the High Commissioner has lost and he is flip flopping", the source reveled.
In response, the Commodore has declared that Michael Green is the High Commissioner to Fiji and its public and police and immigration but not the military. "He is no longer the High Commissioner for us" the Commodore fumed.
In a separate report, the Commissioner of Police has said that the Commodore and the High Commissioner would be charged with illegal betting. Andrew Hugh's said, "It seems that they failed to obtain any permit for betting and it is illegal"
In other news, the Prime Minister, Laisenia Qarase has decided to remove himself from the defamation case brought on by Mahendra Chaudary citing Benny Hinn visit during that period.
