		<description>I&#039;d actually like to see one of Fiji&#039;s naval vessels take him to Niue.

After all, he is still the Commander of Fiji&#039;s Military forces.  I don&#039;t think they have airforce to get him to Niue faster.  So, Frank, go there by your own gunboats - lesser carbon emissions make it more environmentally sound in any case.

Puzzled by &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Bainimarama&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this though&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;i&gt;&quot;In November that year, he was promoted to Rear Admiral, but this promotion was reverted to Commodore on 1 February 2003.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Anyone know why he was demoted from Rear Admiral to Commodore?  Wikipedia doesn&#039;t shed any light on the reason.

Oh, I suppose the other option is that he could swim.</description>

		<description>Or better, to find his own way there.

He&#039;ll apparently be sharing a plane with Helen Clark and Kevin Rudd.  I&#039;d love to be a fly on the wall for that nasty flight...</description>
