More homeless units are required to house these people that tend to be forgotton. This would help them and also also be the first steps to assist them in their recovery of other physical and mental problems they are facing.

Loved the story. What a tragic event to arrive home to after working in a warzone.

Comment on Editorial: Anzac Day simply not comparable to Waitangi Day by Jane Nixon

Anzac day should never replace our national day. The Anzac commemorations are observed in Australia too, not just in New Zealand, and we take this day to remember those who fought to purchase us freedom – generations later, something which we can all enjoy. Let us not use that freedom to limit either commemorations, both which are significant, but both for entirely different reasons.

I think it’s a great start to solving a big problem with today’s media. It’s basically a case of people (understandably) chasing the money, which leads to selling what people want to consume. I don’t think the government can solve the issue either (and honestly keep the press independent), so while I don’t think this will solve all problems it looks like a great start. Well in, boss.

Obviously the most horrific thing is all the destruction, death and injuries, but I can’t even imagine how devastating it must have been to be that close to finishing after all the training, just to be turned around by a bloody terrorist attack.
