Dunne on Tongariro tragedy
UnitedFuture leader Peter Dunne has expressed his shock at the drownings in the central North Island.
“My colleagues and I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the families of those who have died.
“This tragedy is particularly poignant because these young people and their instructors were doing what Kiwis love best,
taking advantage of the challenges presented by New Zealand’s special environment,” said Mr Dunne.
