A Defence Force member traumatised on top secret operations should not be kicked out of the force for indecently assaulting two women, his lawyer says.
Corporal Benjamin Stewart, 40, now has post-traumatic stress disorder due to his service and treatment would likely have to come from mental health professionals with top secret clearance speaking to him in a secure environment, lawyer Michael Bott told a Court Martial Appeal Court hearing in Wellington on Monday.

Well I don't think I believe this so much... Captains table never accepted the defence of "I was pissed at the time." And being on a secret mission is just BS, and I would only believe secret if he was SAS and if he was SAS I doubt that he would have assaulted them... So I call BS.

I have thought about this over and over and have changed my mind many times at what I think the future Royal New Zealand Navy should consist of. I have seen other articles that consist of submarines and various other equipment that while New Zealand can technically afford them, there is more to it that just saying we need to have submarines.
One of the issues we have is that the various New Zealand Governments have not had a clear focus on what they want the entire defence force to do... Yes defend the country and our interests. But what does that actually entail. And until we know that you can not design a defence force to defend it.

Aotearoa has been exercising off the east coast of Australia to test her capabilities in international waters. This has included Replenishment at Sea (RAS) exercises with Royal Australian Navy guided missile destroyer HMAS Hobart and frigate HMAS Stuart. The RAS training was a chance to strengthen relationships between the two neighbouring countries and has showcased Navy's interoperability at sea with its counterparts.
