Jacinda Ardern: PM comfortable with deployment of Kiwi troops to Iraq
Jacinda Ardern says she is comfortable with concessions made around the deployment of Kiwi troops in the Middle East.
New Zealand's training deployment in Iraq is being extended until June next year, but 20 troops will be taken out in November.
Previous Labour leader Andrew Little promised to bring them home, but Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told Mike Hosking she is not Andrew Little and decisions can change.
"Andrew acknowledged they were changeable environments, since then he has seen our deployments in the Middle East and seen the value of them."
