Premier Michael Dunkley’s New Year’s Message

December 30, 2015

[New Year's Message from Premier Michael Dunkley]

On behalf of my colleagues in Government, I extend best wishes to all Bermuda for a healthy, safe and prosperous New Year.

We see 2016 building on this year’s gains for an Island that works better for Bermudians in every respect. By that I mean a fair, safe and inclusive Bermuda, with a growing economy creating jobs and opportunity in every community, at every level.

It’s a big job all around, but the great thing is that all of us – you, your neighbours and your colleagues – are working for these high goals, one way or another.

Let’s do all we can in 2016 to unify our efforts for that positive future – creating more transparent and accountable government, rebuilding tourism through hotel construction, reducing crime, protecting the vulnerable, restoring balance to our public finances and setting the standard for tolerance, cooperation and responsibility.

I am very optimistic for the year ahead. The recovery will pick up speed, enabling more and more Bermudians to move their lives forward again. That’s our goal – a Bermuda that works for its people.

In closing, I say thank you. Thank you for your hard work and focus this year. There will be great opportunities in 2016 that will allow us, individually and collectively, to grow and move Bermuda from strength to strength.

Let’s get there together. Be safe this holiday. Don’t drink and drive. Celebrate this life.

Happy New Year Bermuda!

    Like everybody else who has a memorable punch line, his is “What a waste of F!@#ing film.”

    • I agree 100%. He is full of F!@#ery.

      Onion Juice. Bernews is littered with your political, disruptive and nasty posts.

      You knock Dunkley, but what have you personally done to improve the lives of others?

    Damm no photo. I need 1 more to add to the 2015 collection.

  3. Wonder what his OWN personal message to himself is?

    • hmmm says:

      You are a fairly recent addition to your role. Your posts are like you have never lived in Bermuda or perhaps have never even been here.

      What is your mission,are you paid, are you paid?

      Are you the new Betty T (or Betty F – nah that is OJ)?

    The UBP/BDA/OBA will do nothing to abolish conscription .

    The UBP/BDA/OBA will borrow more money then ever next year …
    The UBP/BDA /OBA will allow work permits to be rolled over and over again next year ..
    The UBP/BDA/OBA will continue to encourage foreigners to buy up real estate historically reserved for Bermudians only ..
    The UBP/BDA/OBA will go headlong into the airport deal without considering the choices made by St.Helena , another British overseas territory off of the coast of South Africa ..
    The UBP/BDA/OBA will put in the same amount of effort in curbing gun violence as they have in the past 36 months …
    The UBP /BDA/OBA will continue to roll out the red carpet for A/C without quantifying the returns …
    The UBP/BDA/OBA will continue to allow news media and others to take potshots at Bermuda being a tax haven without consequences ….
    The UBP/BDA/OBA will not correct a foreign born Bermudian who called Bermuda born Bermudians Accidentals ..what a shame , that will cost them votes when the time comes …

    Ugly stuff coming from the PLP “We must unite” crowd.

  9. bluebird says:

    Thank you mr Dunkley and all the OBA of trying to keep Bermuda on an even keel. We all appreciate it except as you know one or two small minded bitter people who wallow in there bitterness and would like others to join them.
    But Bermudaians are we ll informed today and dont go for that negative RACIST stuff as they know that will never help them in this wonderfull life we have in Bermuda.
    Anyone who disagrees i will buy you a one way ticket to a country of my choice.as i am sure you would love to try and survive .

  10. Tolerate says:

    Wow, the same haters out in full force. 2016 is going to be one hell of a year.
