Waiouru inquiry:
National says get it right the first time National's Defence
spokesman John Carter is warning the Government to get its terms of reference
right for the ministerial inquiry into claims of abuse at the Waiouru army
base. "This is paramount
if the Government is to address the claims of abuse properly." Mr Carter welcomes the
announcement of an independent assessor for this inquiry, but he has some
reservations about the 'closed shop' nature of a ministerial inquiry. He says the onus is now
firmly on the Minister to ensure his inquiry is full, transparent, fair, and
timely. "For the sake of
all parties involved the Minister needs to get it right." |
