From Midday Report, 12:46 pm on 24 April 2023

The Veterans Minister. Meka Whaitiri, says there is a need to further modernise the way New Zealand acknowledges its veterans.

Tomorrow marks the first ANZAC Day in three years that Covid-19 has not caused mass-disruption to the commemorations.

Ms Whaitiri will be marking the day in Hawke's Bay, and says the Government has been working to make the Returned Services Association a more relevant organisation.

She told Charlotte Cook that she expects a big turnout at events right across the motu.
