Q&A tomorrow

TVNZ say:

Guyon Espiner is in Sydney with the Prime Minister and will be asking him about Australia-NZ relations. Just how close does John Key imagine us getting? What’s in it for us? And what do we put at risk?

Paul Holmes will be interviewing David Kilcullen, one of America’s leading military advisers in Afghanistan and the author of The Accidental Guerilla. Paul will be talking to him live from Melbourne about the prospects for peace in Afghanistan and the sort of operations the New Zealand SAS is likely to be engaged in.

Kilcullen spoke to a CIS conference in Australia a couple of years ago. He is a real expert on Afghanistan and counter-terrorism and well worth listening to. Don’t expect to get a rosy view from him – he is very down to earth and realistic.
