NEW ZEALAND: PM says Australia also used airline as troop carrier
Updated
The row over Australia chartering Air New Zealand planes to fly troops to Iraq has spread across the Tasman. Last week New Zealand's Parliament was in uproar after it was revealed the country's national carrier had made two flights to the Gulf in June. The Prime Minister Helen Clark said the airline's charter arrangements in this case had not been in the national interest since New Zealand was strongly opposed to the US-led invasion of Iraq.
