"Demand for Bermuda's tourism product is bouncing back, with air arrivals returning to pre September 11 levels." — after figures show overall tourist visits jumped by almost 25 percent last year."Fiji has been thrown into political upheaval by a military-led coup d'etat, the fourth this island nation has endured over the last 19 years, which has seen the nation's leader Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase and his Government removed from office." — after the collapse of democracy in the far flung island group in the south Pacific."I have told the Minister of Education that I'm deeply and seriously concerned with some of the trends and performances that I have seen in education. If we keep doing what we are doing, we will keep getting what we have been getting. We have to do some serious change. Education is in a serious situation." — after promising a major education initiative within the next three months. "I am noticing an improvement in the quality of journalism in Bermuda. I want to see it continue and my ministers will be available and they will speak with you." — after pledging the media would be invited in for chats on a regular basis."That ministry sends a message that no longer will we shy away from the fact that we have social dysfunction in Bermuda. We will not hide them in the pockets of various ministries. But we will give ministerial attention and impact to these urgent issues — issues of child care, foster care, health care, social assistance. These issues require Cabinet attention." — after announcing the setting up of the new Social Rehabilitation Ministry.
