Tribute08, the Apology: Clarification

Because of the sometimes strong feeling about the 'Government Apology' and its timing, I asked for clarification:

• The formal Parliamentary Apology is NOT being offered during Tribute08 but rather several weeks earlier in Parliament. This is to ensure that it is entered into Hansard and that all parliamentary political parties have an opportunity to speak in support* of the Apology.
• During Tribute08 there will be a separate NZDF Apology offered by CDF during the Commemoration event at the Basin Reserve.
