Hon Dr NICK SMITH: —so supportive of those measures, Mr Wood, is that the very people that are serving our country in dangerous places around the world, championing the values that Kiwis hold dear of democracy, should not be inconvenienced in any way in being able to exercise their vote. In fact, our view would be that through their line of work and the risks that they are taking for New Zealand, it is incumbent on New Zealand and our Parliament to ensure that they are able to exercise those democratic rights, and that is properly provided for in clause 24, that makes changes around the voting for those members of our Defence Force.
