Quotas of the week from the Sunday Chronicle

Published in the Sunday Chronicle on 25th January 2009

Opposition leader Sir Mekere Morauta commenting on a possible vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister:

"With its 21 members, the Opposition does not have the numbers to mount a successful vote of no confidence on the prime minister and his government. We need the support of other parties currently in government."

Morobe's provincial disaster man Roy Kamen commenting on the disappearance and rescue of nine people found adrift in the waters of Milne Bay:

"No one reported them missing. We did not know about it until authorities in Milne Bay called and told us about it"

American president Barack Obama on Innauguration Day watched by millions across the globe:

"... to all other peoples and governments watching today from the grandest capital to the smallest village where my father was born, know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity and that we are ready to lead once more."
