1.00PM: The solicitor general has decided not to call for a second inquiry into the death of Corporal Dougie Hughes, who took his own life while on duty in Afghanistan after being confronted with his attraction to another soldier. Few details have been released regarding the circumstances of Hughes' death and opposition Defence spokesperson Phil Goff and Hughes own mother have been calling for a second inquiry, being dissatisfied with the way the Defence department and original Coroner's inquiry were handled. More details will follow.
