Greens criticise extenstion to Iraq deployment

From Morning Report, 7:23 am on 18 September 2018

The government's junior partner is attacking the decision to stay on in Iraq. The Green Party says the money would be better spent on humanitarian relief and the soldiers should be brought home now. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has pushed the deployment out until June next year but hasn't ruled out pulling the plug on the training mission then. RNZ political reporter Gia Garrick has the story.
