Poseci Waqalevu Bune (9 September 1946[2] – 22 November 2023) was a Fijian civil servant, diplomat, politician and Cabinet Minister.

[18] In August 2004 he accused Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase of having had advanced knowledge of the coup,[19] and filed a police complaint against him.

[21] Bune opposed the Qarase government's early release of coup plotters,[22] and the Reconciliation, Tolerance, and Unity Bill.

[33] Under the Fijian constitution, Bune was set to forfeit his Ministerial role and his Parliamentary seat, subject to an appeal.

The question was made moot, however, by the 2006 Fijian coup d'état that deposed the Qarase government on 5 December 2006, one day after his final expulsion from the Labour Party.

[35][36] As Minister he purged the public service of those deemed uncooperative with the military regime,[37] lowered the retirement age to force cuts,[38] and attempted to cancel a pay increase authorised by the elected government.

[39] He also part-privatised Radio Fiji,[40] drawing criticism after he appointed the younger brother of Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum as its new CEO.
