New Zealand Mourns Soldier's Death
The reported death of a New Zealand SAS soldier in Afghanistan is a tragic turn of events for all Kiwis, says ACT New Zealand Leader Dr Don Brash.
"ACT fully supports the involvement of the NZ Defence Force in all its current peace support operations, including Afghanistan, and it is vital that our nation does not fixate on theatres of operations, specific units or the politics of New Zealand foreign policy in times like these.
Our thoughts are with the family of the soldier," Dr Brash said.
