Sir Edmund Hillary’s death mourned
Sir Edmund Hillary was a truly great New Zealand hero and his death will be mourned by the whole country, says National Party Leader John Key.
“Sir Edmund was a role model for all New Zealanders. His legendary story as both a humanitarian and adventurer has been, and will continue to be, inspirational to generations.
“His legacy will not be forgotten.
“Sir Edmund was hugely proud to be a New Zealander – and we were proud to call him one of us.
“I offer the National Party’s condolences to Sir Edmund’s family and friends. I’m sure all New Zealanders will feel the loss of his passing.”
