Defence Report on ACT Party Web Site
Tuesday 14 May 2002 Richard Prebble Press Releases -- Foreign Affairs & Defence
ACT leader Richard Prebble says he is astonished by the Defence Minster's claim that the report by Colin Carruthers QC could not be put on the government's website until tomorrow.
"Given the widespread public interest, the ACT Party has posted the report on our web page, at www.act.org.nz/carruthers (www.act.org.nz/carruthers) .
"The inability of the Defence Force to post an item on the web, raises real concerns about how far the coalition government has reduced the capacity of our armed forces, which is perhaps more serious than anything in the report itself," Mr Prebble said.
