I will be releasing Labour’s Foreign Affairs policy this afternoon at 2pm. It will include our role in the world and particularly in the Pacific, as well as our views on disarmament, human rights, the United Nations and MFAT reform. I released our Overseas Development Assistance policy separately two weeks ago – www.ownourfuture.co.nz/overseas-development-assistance.
I will post a more expansive blog later today.
Go Maryan!

Hi Maryan,
Will you be commenting on your position on human rights in other countries? Why haven’t you spoken up about the discriminatory “anti sodomy” law in Samoa, which the Samoan law commission is looking to reform? How can you credibly speak up against human rights abuses far away when you won’t speak up about them in our own back yard?
