The Commonwealth Games are renowned for tossing up quirky stories — and one regarding the premier of Niue is a cracker.
Home to about 1800 people, Niue is a tiny island in the South Pacific Ocean located between Tonga, Samoa and the Cook Islands.
The country’s leader, Dalton Tagelagi, is at the Commonwealth Games to contest the lawn bowls.
“I say to my friend ‘you’re the best man in this sport but I’m the top man in my country in politics’. We have a few jokes like that.”
Tagelagi, who’s been in government since 2008 and served as Nieu’s premier since June 2020, grew up in Sydney.
He’s also a mad South Sydney Rabbitohs and New South Wales Blues supporter.
