Message from the Prime Minister

Today we remember Major Morrie Stanley, an inspirational ANZAC hero of whom all New Zealanders should be proud.

We are truly humbled by the courage, cool-headed commitment to duty, and ANZAC spirit shown by Major Morrie Stanley. His calm actions under enemy fire at Long Tan saved many, many Australian lives that day.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to Major Morrie Stanley’s family and friends on behalf of the New Zealand Government. He will not be forgotten.

Best wishes,

Rt Hon John KeyPrime Minister
