Comic Relief: Commodore Frankly Bananas Phonetic Auto-cue

Darling Grubby,

You were congratulating me the other day for how well Frankly Bananas spoke at the budget last week. As I mentioned we gave him extensive training on an auto-cue  However, the first one we tried did not work so well So Qorvis flew in an auto-cue that had been especially built for George Dubya Bush. It is a special phonetic version.

Please find below a couple of paragraphs of what the Commodore was actually reading.

“It is my task today as your Prime Minister and Minister for Fine Ants to present to you the 2013 Bud Jet. Next year will long be remembered as the year that Fee Gee made a bold investment in its Few Ture.

What the audience heard is below.

It is my task today as your Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to present to you the 2013 Budget.

Next year will long be remembered as the year that Fiji made a bold investment in its future.
For today, I am announcing a budget that decisively tackles some vital areas of need in our nation and especially one of its biggest challenges – the state of our roads.

Since I presented the budget last year, nearly half a million Fijians have registered to vote in the election, and we expect to register many more. We are formulating a new constitution with a set of unassailable, universally-accepted principles.

Pretty Cool hey.

Hugs and Kisses
