DAVID SEYMOUR (Leader—ACT): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I join, with ACT, in offering very sad condolences to those who have already been slain by this awful regime, for those living in Afghanistan who now face an uncertain and brutal future under that regime, one devoid of many of the human rights, particularly for women and girls in Afghanistan, that had been hard fought and hard won, at great sacrifice not only by the Afghanis but also by the New Zealand Defence Force and our allies over nearly 20 years.
