The incident occurred at a meeting at a facility where personnel from NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) help to train future Afghan army officers. The Defence Force (ADF) says the Afghan solider was shot as Australian forces responded to the threat yesterday morning, but it is not known if he was killed. Other reports, however, say he was fatally shot. A New Zealand soldier was also hurt in the insider attack and both wounded servicemen received immediate treatment. Acting Chief of the ADF, Air Marshal Mark Binskin, says the quick actions of coalition soldiers helped prevent more serious injuries.

The result has been a constant churn in childcare centre staff. Virtually everyone in the sector agrees something has to be done about this. But that is where it gets really tricky. The uncomfortable fact is, someone is going to have to foot the bill. And when families feel the pain, no one wants the blame.
