Description

Foreign Affairs Minister, Murray McCully, tells American Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, that although New Zealand would love to send SAS troops to Afghanistan they cannot because they are fully deployed in preventing Internal Affairs Minister, Richard Worth, from shooting himself. Refers to the warnings that have been given to Richard Worth by the PM for lack of judgement and inappropriate behaviour. In fact the New Zealand government will respond to the request from Hillary Clinton in August following a review of its Defence Force operations. While it has been careful not to forecast any decision, it is more than likely to send the troops.
