Rise for Lives want the Government to have an independent inquiry into the roles of New Zealand businesses in the crisis. Recently, Air New Zealand apologised after it was revealed it had been contracting for the Saudi Arabian military during the conflict. Higgs said the Hawke's Bay branch of Rise for Lives intend to do more peace walks in the future.
