Labour welcomes refugee announcement
Labour Leader Helen Clark today
backed the government's decision to admit to New Zealand 300
refugees from East Timor.
"This humanitarian gesture is a natural adjunct to the peacekeeping contribution of New Zealand's military in East Timor which is widely supported by New Zealanders.
"Anything New Zealand can do to help make a better life for the people of strife-torn East Timorese is to be welcomed, and I look forward to the arrivals of the 300 refugees in our country," Helen Clark said.
